Hoe effective is the jimping on a ZT 0550?

[Vanguard41xx]

I was thinking of of buying my first ZT, and saw the 0550 was just released. To anyone that owns a 0550 or a similar model....is the jimping any good? From the pictures I've seen, it looks pretty rounded off. Thanks! :thumbup:

Works for me but I haven't cleaned any game with it either . . .

used it and it suffices, but my hands were for the most part, dry.

Just got my 0550 yesterday so my experience is limited but I'd say the jimping is very functional. The knife locks up very solid with no hot spots and the jimping , although rounded at the tops, is deep enough to force your fingers to grab the edges solidly. Haven't used with sweaty or wet hands but I can't see an issue if they were. Little tank of a knife and the smoothest folder out of box that I've ever owned! I really can't wait for my 0560 now!

It's fine -- no issues here.

Works well for me. I notice that on many knives the jimping a secondary to the technique. On the 0551, it sits so comfortably in the hand in a neutral sort of way. No hotspots or anything really. You would really appreciate the style I think.
