Sell me on the 0550.

Steel130 · Jan 14, 2012

Well I have some extra money, but I have never spent 200$ on a folder, heck Ive only spent that once on a blade. However the 0550 looks epic. So, epic pictures may be the push over the edge I need

Well I went ahead and ordered one today from Kershawguy. Lets hope it meets my expectations

. I am pretty sure it will.

It kick arse, plain and simple. Takes everything you can throw at it. A freaking workmans workhorse.

Money well spent. I had an 0551 #0349. Have you seen the 0560?

Sell you?

It kicked the XM-18 out of my pocket.

Well sorta.......

I have. It looks amazing too! I have a feeling I am really gonna like this blade. Every time I see that big old titanium lockbar I am just in awe

I ordered a 0550 today as well. I love my 0350 and 0200 but I think that this one is going to knock both of them out of my pocket, the 0550 definitely looks like a tank.

Waiting is the hardest part....

Congratulations...appears it was an easy sell.

Taonari · Jan 17, 2012

Congratulations on your purchase. You won't be sorry. I bought an 0550 and then later an 0350. I prefer the 0550 hands down.

check out the 560 or the 561 seems to be another amazing zt folder.

as for the 550 i can see its a wonderful knife. its 2d machined not 3d though

but with elmaxx for this last run hurry up and get your now before they switch the blades to s35v. its not my personal style of blade so i will be holding my breath for the 0561

The 0551 is the model with the ELMAX steel, the 0550 has the S35VN.

By the way. I sure hope they release some Frag scales for the 0550. I love the looks of those.
ETA: Never mind. Found a Store that has some.

Shadow213 · Jan 17, 2012

Can't decide between the textured Carbon Fiber scale and the Battleship Gray........either way, they all are lookin pretty good and grippy. Although they are a little pricey, you get what you pay for which is top notch stuff from Rick and you'll only cry once. Lol

Steel130 · Jan 17, 2012

Carbon fiber is nice but pricey. Grey is nice as well. There is only one solution... Buy both

.

Steel130 · Jan 17, 2012

Im going to get a translucent g10 frag grip for mine.

Stainz · Jan 17, 2012

I have two 0551's... and I still want a 0550. Knife gluttony - pure and simple. Plus... it's a heck of a knife!

Steel130 · Jan 17, 2012

Yah I would like a 0551 as well. To bad they are limited edition.

bunnywunny1 · Jan 17, 2012

I too was in the same boat, not completely sold on the ZT0550, then last week I handled one! EVERYTHING CHANGED.....awesome knife, you just have to handle one to understand. It's built like a tank. I will be saving up for one.
