Ahh I'd highly suggest spyderco. I got a southard. Stopped looking at knives.

Is suggest high edge retention. But I am a steel snob.

Yeah the Manix is still in the running. That Southard looks legit, but at $250 on bladehq.com, it's a bit out of my price range.

Another thing worth noting was the flipper/speedsafe of the ZT vs. The plane hole of the Manix. The flipper wins that argument for me.

I had a ZT 200 for a while. Loved the feel and blade. Handled well for a big knife. It was a pig to carry in the front pocket. That said, I am liking the size of the 0566. Looks about the same size as a Benchmade Grip.

Yeah the size of it is a huge plus, as the other three ZT knives I handled were just a bit big for EDC in my opinion.

I watched a YouTube review where the reviewer was comparing the 0566 to the Griptilian in sizing. Great size for carry.

What did you decide on getting??

I got a quote from kershawguy.com for $125 shipped on the Zero Tolerance, so i'll be ordering one on Friday. That is a great price, the next cheapest I found it for was $144 + shipping.

Nice! I think you'll like it alot! Elmax is damn tough steel. I wasn't unhappy using it.

Yeah I think it will serve me well, I've read good things about Elmax. All the research I've done in the last week or so, I have a feeling this won't be the last higher end Knife I purchase, and the Manix will be next.

I did the knife thing for years. From moras to Busse. Theeen bought my first gun and my frail knife (southard). I thought buying knives was bad. Spook much gun gear.

Lol, I've been through more guns than I care to think about (pretty much owned every model of Glock, at one time or another). Now that I'm married with a baby, my gun collection is on hold, and the knife thing seems more realistic financially lol.

Sharp things can be fun! They don't go boom, but still fun. Sold most of my knives for diapers. Oh well!
