ZT560 vs LionSteel SR-1 (titanium)

[ShooterMcgavin]

Ok. Simple as that.
Anything like it with a blade under 3.5"?

Zt 550 and 551.

umm... 056X ... made in USA

Not saying foreign made things are bad, but between two comparable knives of similar price range (actually 0560 would be cheaper), made in USA gets my choice.

Close. I don't like the smooth Ti scale and they don't use Elmax.

551 does

551 does

You are right Smooth Ti, but I guess I can deal with that to gain Elmax. 3.5" is decent, but I wish I could get it a little smaller, like 3.3 ish. Nice knife!

I have both and they are very different knives. The SR-1 for one is anything but a flipper.

Dang it Jill! Stop taking such nice pictures now I want a SR-1

 

[stickymeat]

I thought i would be content with my 550, now you guys are making me want to get a 560 also...

 

[ShooterMcgavin]

I don't mean to hijack the thread... Does the 550 use the KVT ball bearing system?

No, it does not.
