Fresh off of the 0200 purchase... getting payed in t-minus 18 minutes.

MUST BUY ZZTTTTTTTT!!!!

thinking 0350... what to do?!?!
 
You should get another 0200...just imagine how cool it would be to duel wield them:D
 
+1 on the 0550 at this point. I have a 0350SW... just got a 0301... and now thinking "ya know, that 0550 second gen is probably a more reasonable choice"..... Ha! :D
 
the order I was hoping for was 0200(check), 0350, 0550BLK, 0560BLK. My funds are very limited right now... I have sold some things to make room for a purchase... now that I am looking around I am not sure I can afford anything but the 0350 hahaha... oh poor me. :(
 
I'm hoping that the 0566 will be available soon. I have an 0561 so my next might be an 0200.
 
Since you mentioned the "BLK" options, have you considered holding out for the 0560BW ("Black Wash")? Maybe in the near term, score a 0350 blem from KershawGuy, maybe even the 0350TS (Tiger Stripe) to mix things up... then if you still want the 0560 go for it. :) Of course, there would also be the 0566 in the future that brings the size down around the 0550. While not ZT, to hit on the Hinderer designed heck-of-a-deal category, you have the Kershaw Thermite (China) in the future too... and that's in the $33 range. No shortage of choices! :p

All joking aside, while they are all REALLY nice, it would be ideal to be able to put your hands on whatever you are interested in BEFORE you plunk down those hard earned dollars.
 
0350 is a solid choice, or just keep an eye on the classifieds section here, there was a rash of 056X 's for sale last week, some at very good prices.
Another option might be the Cryo 2....
 
Go for the 550. You can find the gen1 for just a little more than a 350. Love my gen1. Polished my clip, added a Pete Gray lbs button, and got a scale from Keeth coming very soon.
 
My first ZT was a 0350, then I recently picked up a 0200. My next will be a 0560. After that, I'm not sure if it will be a 0550 or maybe a 0801. I love the 0350. If you like speed safe then go for it. I like to mix it up so having some assisted and some not gives me greater choice of carry options. For the cost of a blem, you really can't go wrong.
 
I don't usually make decisions by committee or change my mind too easily but after reviewing the options like this

0350:
liner lock
a/o
s30v
3.25 blade

0550
Ti framelock with carbidization and lockbar stabilizer
manual opening
s35vn
3.5" blade

and considering that I already have every intention of getting a 0301, which will also be s30v, I opted for the 0550 have ordered it, and it will be on its way shortly!

Now send me some 0550 porn please!!
 
I'm missing mine... Came back home and made the mistake of not remembering where I put it... I think I'm gonna go tear the house apart to find it... :(

Good to see some fellow Marines on here! You're going to love the 550. After I got mine I don't carry anything else. This is coming from being a die hard CRK man. ZT is just awesome.

Hearing very good things and I am pumped to get it... I have been on a flipper kick lately but this just seemed like too good of a deal to pass up while I had the chance.

This..^^

Here is my ZT line up which also happens to be my only folders I have left. All my other knives stopped getting pocket time when I got my first 0550 so I sold/traded/gifted the rest off, even my Spydie military which I liked alot.

 
A second gen 0550 was the "gateway" ZT for me, and now I have a 0350TS. I wasn't initially interested in a re-curve blade, but the high quality ZT factor did it for me. I am seeing how I like it as my edc right now.
