I'm in the market for a new smallish flipper. I think I've narrowed it down to the ZT 566 and Hogue EX 02 (the smaller version). They are about the same price and size so those aren't factors. The knife will just be used for EDC type stuff and general use. I will likely de-assist the 566 so I am concerned about the flipping action. Anybody with experience with both or either care to chime in? Thanks in advance. Pics are always welcome too!
 
I had the EX02 and it's a CHUNK. It's fat and a little heavy. Really awesome knife, awesome action and comfortable but even the small one is is a big knife.

If you have the money for a EX02, you should be able to buy a ZT0801.
 
Thanks for the input Scurvy. I've considered the 801, seems like a nice knife. I will keep that one in mind.
