ZT0560 vs Hinderer XM regardless of price.

[shqxk]

I know 250$ knife should never compare to the 900$++. But since Hinderer is the original model of ZT0560/1. I would like to know the different about perfromance wise between them. The construction / toughness / material / ergo etc. Thanx

I don't have either. But I have to say I really think I would prefer an XM-18. mainly for the difference in size. The 560 just seems too large. I don't like the width of the blade and aesthetically, the hinderer is more pleasing.
Also important to note, I believe generations 1-3 were hand made by Rick himself, which to me, increases the value of the knife exponentially.
