Only knife I've ever wanted more than one of. I have a plain stonewashed but really eyeing that sexy blackwashed version.

Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
Tip of the thumb at the 6 o'clock of the thumb stud pushing straight up works best on the 0550.
That dude's torture test is something else and shows how tough the 0550 really is. I'm kind of glad someone did it but some of those things shouldn't be done. A folder may survive but it could also be permanently weakened.

They do (well, did) make a DLC model, but the blade was the only thing that had the DLCI would love to see an all DLC-black version added to the lineup..

Yeah, I just figured I would point that out in case Schuey2002 didn't know of that modelI think Schuey2002 meant DLC on the titanium as well because the 0550BLK is only DLC on the blade. It would be like they start the 0550BW as just not stonewashing it after applying DLC to both the blade and the titanium. I think it'd look great!

somebody plz explain to me what is that when the box doesn't exist, what if i buy such knife. i mean, something wrong with it? i heard some word explaining it but don't know what does it mean. i can't find that topic now... sorry for poor english.
i mean some ones didn't never have a box. right from factory.
Kershaw/ZT sells what they call "blem" models from the factory without a box. These are knives that typically have some sort of cosmetic issue which doesn't affect the function of the knife. These knives are sold at a discount and do not carry a warranty. I'm assuming this is what you're talking about. These are marked with 4 X's somewhere on the blade.somebody plz explain to me what is that when the box doesn't exist, what if i buy such knife. i mean, something wrong with it? i heard some word explaining it but don't know what does it mean. i can't find that topic now... sorry for poor english.

This is correct. The knives that do normally have a serial number still have a serial number btwKershaw/ZT sells what they call "blem" models from the factory without a box.

Otherwise obviously some people just don't keep the box and then when they sell it they sell without the box. But from the factory the blem models are the only ones that don't come in a box. Hope this helps.
Here is a pic of the X's on a blem Kershaw Blur.
