Other than flipper and blade steel, can someone please share the differences between the two? Pics would be great! Thanks!
 
1. Size ......... 0550 smaller
2. 3-D machined titanium back handle, stonewashed finish ........... 0550 flat TI slab
3. KVT ball-bearing system ............0550 bronze washers
4. 3-D machined G-10 .........0550 flat G-10
 
The blade on the 550 is shorter, there's no 3D machining of the handles, the lock bar indent is cut out on the other side, doesn't have a deep carry clip. I also think the 550 is overall thicker even though the blade thickness is the same, but I'm not sure. They also weigh the same despite the 560 being a little bigger.Also, no KVT bearings in the 550.
 
I almost forgot the best thing about the 0550......

You can buy it for MAPP or less from most retailers with out waiting in line on a list.
