As of today, we have not notified dealers about the 0551. Hope to get to it soon. I'd suspect there will be a lot more outlets for pre-orders at that point.

So, will the only expected difference between the 0550 and the 0551 be the blade steel?

And how large is said sprint run? i'm trying to figure out how hard it would be to pick one up...
 
Also curious as to the above question, and thank you very much Thomas for keeping us so well updated!

It's a difficult question today, as we haven't figured out all the specifics with the Vanax production version. With that said, the blade steel, G-10 front scale, and the blade and framelock finish may all vary with the two runs. We will make enough changes that the 2 will be identifiable from each other.

As far as the run size, my guess today is it will come in at around 750 pieces.

Sorry Thomas, 750 total or 500 (mentioned earlier in this thread) and 750 for the Vanax. Hate to bother you. :o

What is this 0551 all about? I just read through the last few pages and couldn't find anything.


Thanks :)

To save you the trouble of wading through this thread and having to put two and two together, the 0551 is the Elmax sprint run coming in mid-to-late Fall. The original, Vanax version will be coming who knows when at this point.

Sorta sucks. If there was an approximate time difference between the two runs, i'd know which to wait for....

Well, you are going to have to wait either way just like the rest of us. If you are a true knifeknut you will end up with both anyway. In the end it doesn't matter too much.

Ok Bill86, just for you we have changed the 0550 Pivot diameter from .187 to .218.

Pat yourself on the back, and take the weekend off.

EPIC.

Well sadly I only got the Sunday off...However now I MUST have both versions. I'm more than sold.
 
Was kinda hoping the 550 would be run in S30V to be honest. All the steel I'd ever need but at a bit friendlier price point. Still on my short list though :D
