Been a while since I posted pics over here. Nice to finally have the proper place to do it again!

Here a few shots of the 0551. Pretty amazing knife. Really solid.
Can't wait for the 0550 and the new ZT/Hinderer Flipper.

Nice clean photos. You can see every detail of that awesome knive. Was that done in a light box?
 
God, This is the greatest knife of all time. I cant let mine out of my hands. Its with me as I type.
 
nice pics. that's one way overbuilt folder, but i definitely love mine ! :D
 
Great shots! I'm glad I got one, because I'd be kicking myself looking at those pictures if I didn't.
 
Added shot next to a 0350.
Also, the 0551 has a G&G Hawk Grip Clip instead of the standard ZT clip.
 
As an amateur photographer, I appreciate the time and skill that went into those shots. The end results are spectacular. :) Alas, I don't have the equipment for such studio lighting and diffusing, so I'm more of a natural light photographer. :D

As for the knife itself, it's absolutely stunning. Love the blade and handle designs—looks similar to an XM-18, which I think is a great looking knife.

Thanks for the complements.
If you shoot with available light you can make your own gear to modify light inexpensively.
A couple of sheets of foam core or gator board work well as bounce cards. You can spray mount aluminum foil to the back of a board if you need a harder bounce. You can get various sheer fabrics from craft or fabric stores to use as diffusers. You can make frames out of PVC pipe (don't glue so you can take them apart) or even window screen frame (easy to attach fabric). Just be very careful using the fabric diffusers around hot lights.
If your camera has a manual preset white balance make sure you use it (not as important if you shoot raw).
If you shoot with hot lights it is worth it to get a roll of Rosco or Lee diffuser and attach it to your frames.
