Big Blade Flipper Fight: Zero Tolerance 0456 VS Kizer Sheepdog - KnifeCenter.com

[@maxiormchw]

Two great knives, the choice is definitely not easy. It's best to buy both;)

[@natek1993]

ZT 0456 looks pretty nice.

Professional review! Thanks

Have the sheepdog mini and I love it for needing a capable small blade when I wear my work suit, but I like that sheepdog full size too- just wish they had the same cold clip on the blue and gold full size. I like ZT but this model is very meh to me with the same lines and blue on blue on regular blue. Blue is everywhere on knives and it looks like a gas station knife with plain blue backspacers. It reminds me of the stuff I make at home but years ago before anodizing it titanium. Blue just looks corporate and like you couldn’t think of a nice color or theme to match. Chris Conaway spent years designing that knife and the ZT is another model out of hundreds. Chris cherished that knife and it shows.

Would like to get that kizer with a black coated blade.

I like the aesthetic of the ZT, but the Sheepdog wins this one. Plus, the heat treat on the Kizer is better.

I’ve got a sheepdog in micarta coming soon and I can’t wait

[@spmac101]

Love the comparison review style, I’d like to hear some input as to your thoughts on how they slice or cut in the future. Otherwise... the sheepdog just looks better.

[@narq5099]

Somewhere between those 2 designs is a perfect knife.

ZT0456! ! !

[@timbohlken8100]

I think they're pretty cool

[@lilrockfromga5092]

I like the Kizer

[@brianrobinson5870]

I am not a big fan of Chinese made knives, but the Sheepdog is my winner here

[@haoransun1805]

Kizer Sheepdog for the win

[@paulpasche7853]

I've got the CRKT RIPSNORT and HOOTENANY. KEN ONION designed

[@claytonthecountryboy3272]

Love American made but I really don’t like ZT plus the Sheepdog is just awesome lot of stuff you can do with a pocket cleaver

[@DrBlazer50]

ZT 0456 without hesitation!

[@lonsdalefanmatt]

Made in the USA baby! 🇺🇸 just like me and the ZT!

[@sharkpillow8444]

Zt 0456 all day

[@redryder1146]

ZT all the way

[@itsaknifestyle8482]

I’d take the Sheepdog no doubt

[@CatNaps33]

Zt

[@DavidV4444]

I would take the USA made ZT with it missing the blade before I buy anything from China.

[@305ssmonte5]

The 0456 looks better.

[@antlawa]

ZT0456!
