Well, I have come across a dealer who has some ZT knives at a very affordable price - though the 560 or 561 that I am currently coveting are still out of my price range. What he does have are some 0770s and 0350SW's that are more affordable. Which of these two would you pony up for???

I've got both - the 0350 fits my hand better.
The handle of the 0770 is a little small for my taste; and, accordingly, the pocket clip hits in a weird spot. I carried it without the clip for a while, and it was great - I'm sure I put it back on for a reason; but I'm not sure why I left it there.

I second this opinion. You'll get your other knife, love it for a while and then start longing for the knife you really want, except then you'll have to start at $0 again and it will be a long time till you have the money you need! The other knife will quickly lose its appeal as long as you have a different knife in your mind!

If you want a 56x save your cash. What your doing is the equivalent of saving up for a Mustang then buying a Fusion because it's on sale. Your patience will reward you.
 
Sometimes, a side by side (by side) comparison helps. I'm sure you know which is which.

same order, top to bottom


I really wanted to love the 0770; but this issue I described in my earlier post detracts from that. I find that I've modified the way I hold it, an The 0560 is okay; but, for me, it doesn't live up to the hype. The 0350 surprised me - I like it better than I ever thought I would. (I still like the 0550 better, minus the stock scales)

I really wanted to love the 0770; but this issue I described in my earlier post detracts from that. I find that I've modified the way I hold it, and it's more comfortable - but the revised grip is more a band-aid than a cure. The 0560 is okay; but, for me, it doesn't live up to the hype. The 0350 surprised me - I like it better than I ever thought I would. (I still like the 0550 better, minus the stock scales)

I'll 4th this sentiment. A while back I was changing jobs and wanted to get my self a little gift for all my hard work lol. It would be my first ZT and my first knife over $75. I really loved the look of the ZT0550BLK, but I was having trouble justifying the cost. I ended up buying a ZT0566 instead. I liked it but still lusted after the 550. After a month or so I got a good deal on a 550 blem on the exchange and couldn't pass it up. I still like both knives, but I spent around $240 for them when the $185 550blk probably would've made me more than happy.
 
Alright. I have heard you. I am saving up and will be getting a 550....maybe sooner than I thought. Thanks for helping me keep my impulsive BAD (Blade Acquisition Disorder) in check....
