I've always loved the profile of the 55. I have never been able to grab one though and always seem to be 5 minutes late to a sale. I might have a lead on one, so to tide me over on waiting show me some pics!
 
One of my many favorites, this one with full large CBT and Tiger Hide, it made a wonderful ham slicer for Thanksgiving.

 
The pride and joy of my infi collection and the one model o know I will own multiples of. Honestly when it comes to knives it is my most prized possession

Jaxx you're my hero!

ETA. Jaxx I'm guessing since I have seen your snakeskin collection and now see your equally impressive HG-55 collection that there were no HG-55s with snakeskin handles?

Thanks Matt, I always get a kick out of how much I love that knife because I bought it on a whim right after I had ordered my first busse from the shop because I was impatient and sort of accidentally got the knife I like best because I thought it was cool that it was an HG-55 LE #55
 
From my wedding less than a month ago... Don't worry it gets a good scrubbing after every outting

If I recall correctly, snakeskin had pretty much dried up by then (2009). They might have had a few off pieces lying around the shop, but not enough to include it as a option on their regular offerings. And the WayBack Machine shows that it wasn't an option on the HG55.

I have yet to see even a Custom Shop HG55 with snakeskin. Def not a production option...or you'd see a pic with 27 of 'em. ;):D
 
Jaxx, did you leave any for anyone else?? Nice collection!

I think by the time these came out, all they had left were a few scraps that went into the GW LEs. I asked about a snakeskin handle for an AK around that time, and I was told they didn't have any pieces big enough.
