It was a joke atony, that blurb like most of my humor, nobody seems to find funny but me. Throughout the long 1st & now 2nd thread a few references have been made that this feature or that feature would make the ZT 0550/0551 look like an XM.
When I read posts that I felt inferred that, I thought "wow, all the guys on a budget that shelled out $6 or $700 for an aftermarket XM-18, might feel like jumping out of a window if this ends up looking like a clone or very close to the XM-18."
I'm not mad, I have an XM and a ZT 0551 coming. It's too bad that so many want an XM-18 or 24 but Rick can only spread himself so thin. Well, the consensus now is that it looks like the "Camp Knife" (1 of 10 made) that I never even heard of.
Lame humor, so excuse it plz if it bugged you.![]()
I don't mean to beat a beaten horse too but a tumbled frame would look 100 times better. Is there a way to get this done on the aftermarket or would it ruin the knife?
Damn, That's nice Thomas! So who's getting 001?
and I just put clean boxers on...
Ti looks stonewashed???? Thomas don't make me come hug you...
Framelock side looks to bead blasted to me.
