Zero Tolerance 0550/0551 Goodness

My newest lady. Has plain ti standoffs installed as well. Also getting Rival to make me a digi scale for her.

I acutally won it in a giveaway here. I never used it, and sold it on ebay. Apparently part of the edge was rolled which I failed to notice. The buyer wanted to return it accusing me of purposely selling a damaged knife. I think it only made him more mad when I told him I had no idea what he was talking about and asked for pictures as proof. He probably thought I was playing dumb. The pictures showed a rolled edge so I unhappily returned it because I was pretty desperate for money at the time. I figured screw it, I'm just going to carry it and I have really enjoyed doing so.

Looking good, man! ^^^

I'm digging that pocket clip.

Thanks! Got the clip from the guy on here. Machining was a little rough so I hit it with some sandpaper and flitz. I like the design better than the original. Kinda like a Hinderer clip at a 1/3 the price.

I hear ya. I've been looking at some aftermarket parts for mine, as well. Can I get a shot of your Ti standoffs? If it's not too much trouble, of course.

Props for the low serial number! :thumbup:

And I'm glad you're enjoying carrying it. It's definitely meant to be used.

These have probably already been posted, but I thought I would show them together seeing as they're my first ZT 0550's.

Where did you get the Lscf scale? More importantly, where can I get one?

Thx,

I just got my ZT 0550 delivered yesterday, and I am damn impressed. Except for the really tight detente that will break in, the knife is fantastic. This is the second ZT that I have owned, first being a 0200 that I hated, because it would eat pants like crazy.

So a few weeks ago I picked up a Kershaw Thermite, which got me thinking on a real ZT. Anyhow, here are some crappy pics.

Congrats on that 0550, Screwdriver! Just cycle it as often as you can. It will smooth out.

You're gonna love it.
 
I will say the one thing I have a slight issue with the the lack of grip on the pocket clip. While it rides deep, there is a looseness on it hold to my pants. It is a 180 from the 0200 that I owned.

grownstar, if I see that that 0551 one more time.......... I may have to buy one. :D

I can tell that you're really enjoying it, by the at least once a week minimum; pictures you post of her. I cannot tell a lie, I love my two 0550's just as much! Those are 2 big hefty girls, boy let me tell ya.

Haha what can I say? When it comes to ZTs, I'm an enabler :p

ZT is easily my favorite manufacturer. Their designs are awesome, fit and finish is great and you can't beat their warranty/customer service. As for this knife, hell yeah I'm enjoying her haha. Seriously, the 055x platform does everything I need and the tank-like heft just gives me that much more confidence. Plus it's smooth as glass right now.

Oh, I almost forgot this:
