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.
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.
