Plain edge.

I love my 551SBKSN, its my yard work beater. But I wish I had gotten a plain edge. The sand colored handles are painted over black, just so you know. They will wear, but I think it still looks cool.

yeah my marine buddy has the sand colored hg, and it has worn through a lot, but i like it when knives get worn and used looking!

I personally favour the drop point 551 with thumbstuds, but the 550HG is a great knife if you prefer a hole opener.

do the other colors like blue and olive drab wear through?

Nope, the sand and camo handles are a coating over a black handle.

All other colors in the Griptilian line are in the handle material itself.
