OP, my local knife shop has 3 0551s sitting NIB ready for an owner. Email me if you want the details.

Anyone have an updated availability date for the 0550? The last date I had heard was the end of summer, i.e., August. Of course that date has come and gone.

well, in here our only retailer of ZT knives have told me they will start delivering 0550's at November... Still can't decide if I should go for 0200 or 0550... Now that we get new patch ofZT's here after 6 or so months.
*edit*: I contacted retailer here and they say they should get first 0550's in November first in Scandinavia but... it might just be wishful thinking. Anyway. First or second 0550 that enters into Finland has my name on it. My friendly retailer promised to let me know when they get confirmation and reserve one for me... My most expensive knife till date but I kinda wanted seriously tough folder that is like tank but can also be carried EDC comfy, something what my ZT0500 MUDD cannot do well, though its outstanding in its own merrit, now sitting next to my Busse Game Warden in my bail out bag. I think upcomming 0550 is well worth of its price, when you consider what striders cost. Too bad about Vanax 35 but I cannot complain if instead Vanax 35 0550's have S35V blades...

You know it's been so long now I wonder if ZT couldn't go with the S35V steel like they originally intended.
I seem to remember they switched because of the lack of availability of the S35V.It was the Vanax 35 that they were originally going with and then switched to the S35VN. But, yeah, I was also wondering/hoping that the delays might allow them to give the Vanax 35 another chance... That would be sweet! :thumbup:You know it's been so long now I wonder if ZT couldn't go with the S35V steel like they originally intended.
