I've been away from the forums for a couple of years and haven't kept up with the new ZT models. I had one of the original ZT 0551 Elmax versions, but I recently lost it and would love to find another ZT that has the same feel/size to it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.
 
I don't think there is a comparable model in current production...but you could post an ad for a ZT 0550/0551 in the Wanted section of the Exchange.
 
I just checked, and Kershawguy has a few options of the ZT 0550 in stock. They would not have the ELMAX steel, but the form and feel of the knife would be identical.
 
They still pop up from time to time on the exchange, if you head over to that ever so popular auction site, you can find them there as well. From what I remember, the 0551 was ZT first batch of ElMax and they goofed the HT. The S35VN blade on the regular models are great, no issues with edge retention, and if you can find a 3rd gen, you all the updates like the improved lock bar with reverse cutout, steel lockbar insert, deep carry clip and smoother action than the Gen 1 0550/0551.
