Was going to order a O562CF(still am)but saw the 450 in some videos and fell in love... Anybody here have one? This will be my main EDC replacing a few Spydercos, hope to order the 562 soon also!

Nice knife. I want to go hold some ZT's but I'm afraid to, my wallet may not like it.

I hear that! I've wanted a ZT since they came out, no stopping now if I'm happy with the first...

I've had the 0450 for coming up on 2 years now.  It has been nothing short of fantastic.  Holds an edge well.    I used to baby it quite a bit but now I use for everything and open boxes with it near daily.

The 450 is a great smaller ZT.


Easy as hell to carry, super fast to deploy and a great blade shape for most tasks.


Amazingly I don't have a picture of the two next to each other but if you want I can take one tomorrow

Actually I found these two.

Snagged mine off the EE about a year ago, been in my pocket everyday since.  It's about perfect for what I want in a small to medium flipper.

I've owned a couple in the past and I couldn't sum it up any better than this.

I recommend it

Stormin you should enjoy it, for me it's just about the perfect balance in size to length.  Looked at the 452 many times but for some reason that one hasn't triggered me like the 450.

So I held the 450cf today. I liked it but want the handle just a tad bit longer. Does ZT make one that is as thin but longer?

I’ve got a 0452 and 0450. I prefer the 0452 (just feels better in my hand), but the 0450 is better to edc. Love my ZTs.

had mine for a while, I like it , it is a good EDC. It is in the rotation with the 460, 562 and BM 940.

It's a very nice knife but I prefer something's with more traction on the handle, even the cheap spyderco volcano grip is better IMO.

I also have some irrational distain for the frame lock.

I've found the carbon fiber handle on mine has plenty of traction, but I could see how the double sided titanium scaled model maybe a bit more slick.

I've got it's big brother-the 0452 with M390 steel.Very sleek and graceful lines.The 0452 is a big knife but doesn't carry like one because of the slim profile/lite weight.I love mine.
