I have to say, the knives were exactly what I was expecting. Sturdy and hefty in the hand, confidence inspiring. I handled the 0301, it is a HUGE folder. I guess I knew that but it is hard to really imagine until I got my hands on it. It felt like it was very work ready and was pretty comfortable in my hand. Then I handled the 0200 and it was also very hefty and confidence inspiring. The one I handled flew right open (very little detent) but it was solid. I then took a look at the 0350 and thought, "I get why a lot of people choose this as a heavy duty edc". It was quite a bit smaller than the other two and just a little smaller than what I am looking for. The 0300 and 0200 were a little bigger than what I was looking for. Unfortunately for the vendor, they were asking much higher than any online price for all they had and they didn't have the one that I thought would be a perfect compromise between the 300/200 and 0350. So as soon as I got home, I put in my order for the 0550 with kershawguy. I don't have a folder that I would consider "heavy duty" and I think it will fill role very nicely.

So it seems I won't be getting a 0550 next week, I guess it isn't meant to be. I suppose I can wait.

I bought mine from Kershawguy a couple weeks ago and he is great. Super fast shipping too. I'm loving my 0550 for everything, it broke in and is buttery smooth, I have ZERO complaints. Pretty impressed with the S35vn too. You won't be disappointed. I bought mine for heavy duty use and it shows no signs of ever letting me down. For me it's the perfect size and it's stout too which I like :)

What do you 0550 owners like the most about it? What are your issues/complaints, if any? Help fill the time until it gets here next week:)

Bad news Ray, I zero'd out inventory on that model a couple days ago and it showed sold out, then you somehow bought one , so I went to my website and did some digging and it was set to reserve items in peoples carts for 1 day, ha. I changed it to 1 hour, unfortunately that does not help you. I am very sorry for the mistake, I try hard to have knives available when it says I do. I have a bunch on order, don't know ETA, your call, wait or refund. :confused:

That is too bad, oh well. Incoming email, thanks for the quick heads up!
 
It's worth the wait! Kudos also to Dave; he's first rate and straight up. LOVE my 0550 from him. It's now my overall favorite blade. Adding on one of Rick's scales took it up to another level...or two!
