Well my zt 0350 lived a hard neglected life with me. It finished its days with a tattered beat blade chipped, broke tip reshaped sharpened a million times.
Damn good hard use knife heavy beefy in hand. Minimal slop in blade after a bout a year of prying cutting and scraping.
Unfortunately I left it on a excavator track after cleaning out a grease zerk. Tracked over it and eventually dug it up and sent it to knife heaven on a truck.
I was naked feeling for about a day did no research on what to replace it with. Walked into my local sportsman grabbed a 0350 noticed the benchmade 560. I did not have time to yammer around so I walked out with the 560 I took the hit in the wallet over the 0350 because i want to try the m4 steel and the zt grips become slippery after hard use. They start very grippy but soon wear smooth.
The benchmade starts smooth but shouldn't wear down like the 0350.
Also the 560 has more of pointed tip better for getting in tight place but also better for breaking the tip off. I'm disappointed the 560 doesn't have a deep carry clip. I know not everyone wants a deep carry but I do.
I did look at the griptilians reverse tanto that is my favorite blade but the knife feels so cheap and wide with its plastic grips.
Long story the 560 is hear to scream mercy. As I plan to abuse it till it breaks
Disappointed I cant post pics. Such a pain the ass on the site. Maybe in a month or so I'll post of the beat 560 if I dont send it off to be with the zt.
