Ok so I got a 550HG, and while i like it im just not diggin the sheepsfoot. it shows some wear on the clip, and a few marks on the blade from sharpening. so yes, it is a user. Im lookin for a full size regular grip. not interested in payin more for a higher grip aka ritter/cabellas, but if your interested in trading a ritter/cabelas for my 550 then i wont complain
