For a long time my 0350 and 0550 gen.3 have been my favorite ZT
As time goes my tastes have evolved
And when I still consider them as great knives i have moved to something else.
0801, 0562 and especially 0630 are great for me but they miss something for my taste.
I would like to see a 0801ti in Ann higher steel than s35vn, a 0562 with a slicer grind and I have been stupid not to get a 0630cf when it was still available
For some time ZT haven’t produced knive that were IMO true to their moto
The 0640, 0562ti and 0393 all seem very legit to me as ZT knives
I think the 0640 is the one I prefer: manual opening, washer, incredible detent, neutral handle and smooth action.
I already have a 0562cf and don’t feel the need of a Ti version
I ended up picking up a 0393 because I prefer the ergonomics on this one compared to the 0562 and I enjoy th number of opening options I have on it... I can open it slowly or very fast with the thumb studs/stop pins or use the flipper
This make the knife very « fidgetable » which is fun
After using it i prefer the grind of this one compared to th 0562...
But IMO that is just a question of personal taste.

What I like on these models is that they have a good grip, a good detent and some solid stop pins.... in combat nation with good steels that make very interesting ZTs

More seriously I am happy to find some interest in recent ZT models
