That's right. Sell me on the 0550. I have the 0560 on preorder, no telling how long it'll be till I get it, but I just have this space to fill till I get it. I have to buy something. I'm worried that the 0560 will just kick my 0550 out of my pocket and land it in the drawer forever. What do you guys think? That's a pretty big investment to just toss in the drawer, especially knowing it's a work knife not a collector piece. So...what's some awesome things about it? Why do you like it? Maybe show some sexy pictures? I'm thinking about that Blue-Black Hinderer scale, but I can't find a picture of them actually on the knife. I'm like one click away from ordering this knife, guys. Come on, push me over the edge.
 
Looks good in orange...

That knife sells itself. You really need to have one in your hand to full experience and appreciate the overall design.
 
So, do you fellas think I would mess up buying the 0550 and then receiving the 0560 a little later? I'm really worried the 0560 is going to end up being a pocket hog.
 
I have a xm-18 which.is similar to the 560. I like the 550 just as much as the xm-18 . Its my carry knife. Nothing wrong with rotation. I will do a lame comparison to all three knives for those interested. I will bet you cant go wrong with either.

You have only 1 pocket? Hmmm, time to buy some new threads ;)

You know what...Quoted for truth.

When I get home from work, I'm going to jump on that 0550. Dave, go ahead and box me one up. :D Thanks for talking me into my senses, guys.
 
It's a different knife than the 0560. It has more heft, if that's what you want.

Rotate between the two, that's my plan.
