ZT Zero Tolerance 0095S90BLK or Zero Tolerance Sinkevich 0452I can only afford one which one would you buy? The Good the Bad and the Ugly??
 
I can't fully answer this question because I only have experience with the 452 but I don't have any complaints about it. No "bad" or "ugly" with that knife, as far as I'm concerned.

Blade length to weight ratio is amazing on the 0452. It packs a long blade into a compact thin package that is easily carried unobtrusively. The longer blade is more suited to food prep and has excellent cutting ability (especially once reprofiled) which translates to ease of use.

The handle is ergonomic and very comfortable while providing a nice secure grip.

Overall, it is a hell of a knife for the money.

And Why?

Because the 452 has one of the best actions on any ZT. Also it is exceptionally light for its long blade length. Despite being longer the 0452 is much thinner and more comfortable in pocket than other wider ZTs imho.

Also most ZTs that have a carbon fiber or g10 front scale on one side have a stainless steel liner under that composite scale. The 0452 does not have this liner. Personally I love that about it as it contributes to a thinner lighter knife. Since pocket knives spend most their time in pocket it is very important to me how comfortable they are in this position. I don’t know if you will carry it in a purse though in which case pocketability will be less important.

Also the 0452 is quite a big knife. Are you sure you want a knife this big? Check out the ZT 0450 for a smaller version of this same knife which is more practical for carrying around every day.

I love them BIG Isn't BIGGER better? hehehI usually stick in side pocket of my leggings near my hip So Im sure about large, I enjoy fidgeting the flipper and I am most concerned about damaging the black handle on the 0095 does to scratch easily? haven't seen any tests?

Is you handle BLACK? Im looking for feedback if it scratches easily because it looks sooo smooth black on it?

The 0452 has a DLC coated blade, the 0095 is the standard Blackwash. If you're worried about scratches, I would get the BW version, hides wear very well. The DLC coating is tough but sooner or later it will scratch. Unless you cut just soft material, but coating is coating and it will wear, same as every other coating, unless you don't use it of course.
 
I don't know how much experience you have with flippers, but the one thing I would note about the 0452 is on long, slim blades like that it can be easy to rest your fingers on the lockbar and push in the detent when holding it. That can make it next to impossible to actually flip the thing, but it's easy to avoid once you're used to it.

Flipped in store was easy on the eyes and fingers but your right. It was more of a steel and keeping the looks long term which would out perform
