Looking for a comparison picture of these 2 ZTs, the 0550 and 0500. Ive got the 0550 and id like to see how the Mudd compares sizewise.

I used to own the 0200 but i sold it, as i thought it was too big and heavy. Great design, but not the knie for me...So does that mean, i will hate the Mudd?

Hopefully someone can help. Thanks.
 
I'm away from my 0550 at the moment, but I hope this pic helps a little

It does, thanks. The Mudd looks slightly bigger, both handle- and bladewise.

Is there much of a width difference?

I'm going off memory, so take this with a grain of salt.
The mudd is ever so slightly thicker, but IMHO I think the mudd is less noticeable in the pocket.
 
As requested, but I have a ZT551, same as the ZT550, except in Elmax and a different scale











They look very similar, but the ZT551 has a much slimmer, smaller pocket presence than the MUDD. The MUDD feels like a 275 Adamas in the pocket, while the ZT551 feels like a Manix XL in pocket. The ZT551 is much slimmer also in pocket than the ZT200, IMO. The ZT500 MUDD is much greater in pocket presence than the ZT200

If you like big heavy folders in pocket, than the MUDD is for you. I prefer carrying the MUDD in a belt sheath rather than in pocket.

Thanks Bishop. Those pics really helped.

I dont think the Mudd is for me. As said, i sold the 0200 because it was too big and heavy for my needs. The 0550/0551 is about as big as i like them. As nice as the Mudd is, i dont think i'd fully enjoy it because of its size. The search continues.

Thanks all for helping out. You saved me a few bucks and the hassle of a resell.
 
The MUDD must have some king of rubber seals to be waterproof. I wonder if they dry out and need to be replaced.
