They both have what is called a plain weave pattern, but the "zlc" has a ratio of 1:0, which means there is only one fiber in each direction and the ALC has a ratio of 1:1, with both fibers in both directions. The weaving pattern of the "zlc" is actually correct, that is what you find on Butterfly blades, but yo me it doesn't look like zlc, it can just be the picture but the color is not right. Coming from where it does, it probably isn't. Zylon is very expensive, and as far as I'm aware there are no manufacturers in China, but I may be wrong about that. It's very easy to dye Kevlar these days, which is a lot cheaper than Zylon, so it's probably that.
The ALC is actually the same as one of mine. The weaving pattern is not exactly the same as Butterfly's, it has a bit more blue in the vertical direction and a bit more black in the horizontal direction. So it's not as stiff but a bit harder.
Anyway, none of this matters as there are many other variables. People talk about fibers like it's the only important aspect, but the lamination process, type and amount of resin used are equally important. I can make a blade feel different in a number of ways by using the same composite but changing the other variables. With these cheap blades they are not very concerned with feeling, they use the least expensive method to get the job done, you pay for what you get.
