My ZT200 is really getting smoother as I break her in. My question is, are the 560,551, and the 550 smoother to open after break in?
 
Yep. My 0550 took about two weeks to reach its maximum smoothness.
 
Thanks, I'm thinking of one next month,but I don't know which yet. Are there really a big difference between the 560,551 and the 550.
 
Between the 551 and the 550 there isn't a huge difference. Aesthetically there are nearly the same. The biggest thing are different blade steel 551 is Elmax, 550 is S35VN. There scales are a different pattern. The only thing I can remember, ( someone correct me if I am wrong ) I thought Thomas mentioned a different process for cutting the lockbar on the 0550 which I think was due to 0551's sometimes having lock rock. Again I could be wrong.
