in further ZT comparison, sort...
the bottom three knives are the 3.5", the ZT being 3.75", and same stock thickness as bottom two, only two, though, as the one directly under the 4" has the same thickness of blade as papa bear.
Both the compact thicker, and the largest, were due to requests from military and 1st responders, the largest makes most sense and came next after the normal 3.5", big guys, gloved hands, etc, and perfect for that, with gobs of room. The thicker blade also makes most sense on the larger as for being a cutter.
