Can we get some shots from directly above? That looks ginormous!!! My 3.5s are the perfect size, so maybe the pics are a bit deceiving because of the angle??? TIA.
 
The squeak has worked itself out of mine after a few hours of flipping. There is a little bit of a twang from the pocket clip when it locks up. The glide on opening has become even smoother with use which I didn't think was possible. I can't imagine how slick and smooth this will be after a week or two! The lockbar is still pretty stiff but getting a bit easier to flex.
I like that it is a bit difficult as it makes things lock up nice and tight and I'm not tempted to try and close it one handed and lose the tip of my thumb. I'm going to put a dab of plastidip tool handle liquid rubber on the clip and then remount it once dry and I think that will eliminate the twang but allow me to keep the light deep carry clip. The more I use this knife the more I like it and I loved it from the first time I handled it.
 
I took one of my 551s to a local sharp-thing emporium today and did the A-B-C comparison between it and both a new 560 and a 561. After a year, I actually like the stock G10 pattern on my 551 better than the 560 - or it's brown brother, the 561. All three had similar sized, although the cutting edge on the 551 was ~ 3/16" shorter, of similar thickness ElMax steel - and of similar sharpness, too. All could be thumbstud deployed, the newer 560/561 having the flipper deployment, too - an attribute to most. Not so important to me. My bushing pivot had most of a year of use behind it, making it slicker than the newer ball bearing 560/561. The final consideration... with a discount - and 10% S/T - you can't get a Happy Meal for the change left from three Benjamins. Each of my 551s was less than two Benjamins... and I already owned them. I left with my wallet intact. If you didn't get a 551 - get a 560/561. In my case, it would be needlessly copying what I already had.

Loving my 0560... Very pocket friendly :)

I showed my 0560 to a few of my Benchmades and they looked confused... And then cried/wet themselves.

My Para 2 said "welcome to the pocket buddy"
 
Got my 0561 today! Jimping is a bit rough, and a couple other spots..besides that, it's just about perfect for me. The almost year long wait was definitely worth it
 
New guy here. I've been trolling this forum forever and finally decided to register since I just got my 0561 and wanted to share. You guys are awesome, BTW.

Just got this beast yesterday. I must say it exceeds my expectations. Here are a couple pics. Check out the serial #!
