New ZT0550!!!

[Mattman888]

The choil is out on ALL the 0550's!

Thats awesome! I don't really like choils.... And this design looks so much nicer without one.

this may have already been asked, but qhat is the difference between the 550 and the 551?

I think it's a little early for this question to be answered today. There will be changes like the blade steel, and texture on the G-10, but specifically what those details are, I just can't say.

I think this will have to be my first ZT. Since I always wanted a R. Hinderer
but the price has made it out of reach for my budget. I would want the version
with a flipper.

The 055X will not have a flipper. A future R. Hinderer design might have a flipper but the design that this thread is about will be flipper-less. And if you like the 0551 with the Elmax steel it sounds like you better find a place to pre-order because it could likely be sold out before it even ships to dealers.

I never even heard of Elmax and Vanax steels before this thread here. I know ZT and Rick Hinderer make the toughest and most hard use knives around and are going to use the tuffest steel there is on their knives.

Don't forget, they're going to put a banana clip on it too.....just for you.

You weren't in the Korean war were you? I thought I was the oldest member here! Probably just the border tour right?

Tube spacers are anodized aluminum, blade thickness is .156.

So it's the same thickness as the 03XX series. The 0350 is .121

Thank you for this. The thicker blade is welcome. :thumbup:

No not Korean War, stationed there 1990-91 and 96-97. That was on of my favorite assignments in over 20 years in the army. I didn't even do a countdown I enjoyed it so much, and actually I was kind of sad leaving.

I want my ZT 0551 too...but it won't be long. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
