I just got my ZT 0561 in the mail and now I'm officially addicted to higher end blades! Well, at least higher end to me! Does anyone know where they would have the translucent green G10 grips in stock? Also, (I'm new so excuse me if I sound lost) I have seen some of the Hinderer spacers that are anodized in different colors. Do they work on the 0560 and 0561, or does anyone make them that will work? Thanks in advanced if anyone has any direction. I've carried a SOG Twitch for years, but last month I got to feel a ZT and had to step up. Thanks again.
 
Currently I think the only way to get aftermarket scales for the 560/561 is from a pimper directly. Haven't seen any for sale on any retailer's sites yet, and Rick hasn't made any yet. The standoffs only work with modification...
 
You can look at kryptoglows scales if you want one for the 056x. They aren't g-10 but looks and feels like it!
 
A "pimper"? Not like a "pimper" off craigslist who shows up at your door with a 300 pound chick and a lead pipe? Just kidding.... I saw one guy on youtube who goes by toughthumbs, but that's about all I've seen so far. I'm going about this knife thing backwards. I ordered a Wicked Edge because I saw one on a hunting buddies facebook page and was blown away by the pictures under magnification, and now I have to buy some knives to justify $400 for a sharpener. One thing is for sure, my wife now has some scary sharp kitchen knives! Thanks for any help, guys!
 
I'm hoping to be able to get those special standoffs made soon for the 560/561 and the 550 series!! Stay tuned!

you can get custom scales for the 560/561 on ebay. there are some out there now. Contradulations on your first ZT. I just made my first ZT purchase yesterday and expect it to arrive next week. I bought a 551 on ebay and cant wait to get it.
 
Rival1314 makes NICE scales. I got a set for my JYD

Let us know when those standoffs are complete, would really love a set. By any chance are scales in the works too?
