I just got my new to me 551 from a felow forumite. It already had the hinderer scale on it, and I think it looks SWEET! I have 1 other ZT, a 350kw. I love the 551, and am looking forward to using this beast :) I have several other hard use folders, and had a hest 2.0(that I traded). I have to say that the 551 is everything I wanted in a Ti framelock. Now I just have to save up and get it's big brother :D I don't know much about elmax, but I am happy to familiarize myself with it using this platform.

Sorry for the poor lighting, and crappy pics.
 
It looks great! I have a 550 with a OD green Hinderer Scale and that color goes really great on that knife. I love it. I do have to say however, I believe your scale is not a hinderer, it is monkey edge frag scale. Take a look here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...ero-Tolerance-0550-with-oliver-Hinderer-scale I bought mine from a member here too. This is what the Hinderer in OD green looks like. They are both awesome in my opinion.
 
My 551 is my favorite edc blade i have. I'm going to have to see if I can get a CF scale for it. I really like that monkey edge scale, how is it in terms of grip compared to the factory one?

Yep you're right, that's what I meant and hinderer was what popped into my head.
 
I really like those ME frag scales! I would like an orange one for my 551.
 
those frag scales are a nice change of pace...had the hinderer scales and they provided good grip.
 
Yeah it's always nice to have a knife that isn't black. The orange would be sweet too.
