The curse of putting together a big sale post for a bunch of knives is that sometimes I get one out and realize it perfectly lines up with my interests now, and it gets moved out of the to-sell drawer, LOL.
I'm not big into modded knives, but I picked this one up used some time ago and the original owner did a bang-up job on three well-thought out mods: sharpening choil, stonewashed ti scale, smooth OD micarta scale. The 0550 is such a great example of an old-school, pants-dragging ZT beast.

Thx. It’s a TAD Topo XM24 Skinny, came like that (not the edge).Cool G10 scale, custom or did you make that yourself? That mirror edge is impressive
Honestly, I've never used that knife. I sharpened it with my Wicked Edge and put it in the pile.
I bought the Gen 3 appr. 5 years ago and when it didn't "tickle my pickle" I sent it off to have the CF scale made.
The scale is probably 3/8 inch thick and though the knife as a whole is asymmetrical, it is very easy to grip when compared to the original grip. I also had the dude make matching lightning-strike plugs (X2) for the clip locations. Here is one installed.

It's an oddity. But, I'm a Reeves guy at heart.
I've not been able to see any of your pics. Both this and other posts. Just see an unclosed"IMG" tag. Not sure why![]()

Absolutely beautiful. I’m beyond jealous.
That is a cool knife, Ive been looking for a 0560 to pop up on the forum but I haven't seen any good ones.
If that thing breaks, like mine always do, coping saw blades work really well and are often even cheaper.
Where’s the pooch or it didn’t happen![]()
Pleasant sunday walk and photo shooting with the pooch
