What Knives Compare With The ZT450?

Razor · Feb 3, 2020

Since getting older and quit farming I have been carrying smaller knives more. The ZT450 has become a favorite. I have a ZT470 on order. Are their some other knives that you like that compares in size to the 450? I really like Ti knives. I had a spyderco sage 2 that I liked a lot. I don't think they are made any more.

IMO the BM940-1 is a very good comparison

Try the 0460ti, I own an 0450cf too and they're both awesome!

Wow you're really in line with my thoughts about knives. I've been eyeballing the 450 and 470 for awhile now. I had that Spyderco Sage titanium until I had it in my pocket running late catching a flight so I made some TSA agent's day. I see them occasionally on the exchange here. I'll be looking forward to y'alls replies here!

GiantMouse ACE Sonoma has better steel (M390 vs S35VN), is a tiny bit bigger (1/8" longer blade), and has a much higher sabre grind than the 0450.

Check out the ZT 0609, which I think is better in every way but a similar size. Same with the 0470.

The Mantra 2 and Ikuchi are pretty close. Mini Crooked River is similar size. Here are some old comparo shots from the Archive, including your Sage2:

Spyderco Mantra. It has both a Spydie hole and a flipper tab. Bought one for my wife to use as a work knife last month so she could take it easy on her stepped titanium Chaparral. She really likes it so far. Great photos

Real Steel Megalodon Ti 2017 is pretty close to the ZT 0450.
