ZT 0550/0551 scales direct from Rick Hinderer Knives!!

[tomsch]

Wow... so many choices. I just ordered a 0550 and thinking about the translucent green as a nice combination.

If anyone has a zt 0550 or 0551 with a blue hinderer scale can you please post a pic. Thanks. I'm trying to decide between the orange and blue but I can't find a pic of the blue on the actual knife anywhere.

I've got a blue frag scale in shipping. As soon as it arrives, I'll post pictures up.

I meant one with with the xm texture but I guess that helps. I think the blues are the same exact color but im not sure.

I like the Hinderer texter better than they Frag but it looks like Monkey Edge is the way to go. The Hinderer site seems to have a problem with taking orders. Picking the "contact" option only shows an address. Makes it a little difficult to buy from them unless there is another source.

you can get hinderer scales from bladehq or knifeart

Where did you get the female screws for the standoffs?

houtex, just thought I'd try your idea out...and looks like the hardware (screws, threaded shaft and standoffs- anodized bronze in my case) for the XM-18 does fit the 0551. Have to use all Hinderer parts per fastner as the 0551 has threaded standoffs- can't just swap out the standoffs.

I've been trying to place an order for a flat end for my investigator pen and the website isn't working. The annoying thing is that I can't find the fat end replacements anywhere else.

I just received the blue replacement scales and they look great.

[The_Boss]

Anybody know if they're making more of these? I can't seem to find the orange ones in stock anywhere.
Just got my 0550 a couple days ago.. can't use it atm though, my thumb is too sore from the first day of having it
My only manual folder with a thumb stud, and the detent on it is pretty tough to get past sometimes.. but it's getting easier, helps if I don't put pressure against the lockbar..

[opgenorf]

I am proud to say that I just picked up a translucent scale and a Carbon Fiber Scale!! Such a deal. I have to say that after spending seven bills on a folder I feel bad using it.

Great looking scales BTW!! thanks R.H.

Where did you guys get a wrench for the pivot? It appears to be different in size than the other screws.

Torx wrenches are a hardware store item, they come in many many sizes. Sets of them can be bought on line also, get size 4 through 10 and your are covered...google is your buddy.

Hey guys, first post. Just got my 0550 Friday and this thing is amazing. My first EDC and "real" knife. I got the blue frag scales from Monkey Edge, really loving it. I have been looking for the orange scales but everyone is sold out! Would it be possible to special order them from Rick, or Monkey Edge?

Do you know for sure that size 4 is the size for the pivot? or are you just talking to be talking? I need a wrench for the pivot screw. It is smaller than the others on the 5551. apologies if you were being straight with me. You just came off as being flip.
