Label Typo? Confused...Numbers Match on ZT0551

[jimw451]

Just received this 0551 purchased through ebay. Kind of a mistake as I bid on it, then immediately regretted it as the offerings in the sale area here are less expensive, but hey that's my own fault. Anyway, I'm confused as to why the serial number matches (#0081), but the label states "Green Handle". They look like normal production black to me. Was there a version with a green handle? Did someone switch the handle out? Just thought I would throw it out there in case anyone knows what's up. I searched around for other threads, but couldn't find anything similar. Thanks! Pics:

The two ZT 0551s that I had that came in the old green box (purchased from reputable dealers like kershawguy) had the same "Green Handle" typo on the label. I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks neuron. Good to know. That puts my mind at ease. I guess deep down I was hoping to start an extensive search for the elusive green handled super-rare 0551, but at least I know the handle wasn't swapped or anything.

Looks green to me

Be happy, some knife companies do the typo on the blade or handle.

You know, now that I'm staring at it for a while...

Funny mine said it was a black handle and it came with an orange one!

Color blind package 'er.

Yeah, my box said "green" too. Ironically, it is now... but it was black.

Hi jimw -

As has been said, the first 100 or so were sent out in the older style box, and they had that "green label" mentioned on the box.

My #19 also had the green handle box.

best regards -

I have #0200 and it also has "green handle" on the box.

Mine's in the low 600's. Said green then too.

Low 0400's for me. Same thing. I thought all 0551 packages were like that?

I say it is whoever printed the labels...wasn't paying attention. I just traded #601 BLK HANDLE on box/Still have #443 & #583 both have blk handle on box. They are also the older green boxes, not the black ones that ZT started issuing somewhere in the 600 # range. On a side note...does anyone have the last number made on the 0551? I have seen #1390 for sale on eBay, anyone see higher numbers?
