The 0550 is not out yet and won't be for some time. It's slated to be basically the same knife as the 551, but with Vanax 35 steel instead of Elamx and a different pattern on the G10 scale.

As for opinions, there's two monster threads dedicated to the knife already - you'll find every kind of opinion imaginable there.

I have the ZT 0551 and its a sweet knife.

Edge retention - 0551
Corrosion resistance - 0550

I think that basically sums it up. Though the opportunity to use a brand new nitride steel is appealing enough to give the 0550 a look, though the 0551 is "limited" and very appealing as well.

Best just to get them both like I did:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:.

Noctis,

I'm confused. Regarding the 0550: How did you get a knife that hasn't been released yet? Unless I'm missing something?

I'm 100% sure he means that he is on the preorder list for the 0550.

I love the 0551 and I'm going to get a 0550.

Precisely. My bad there, didn't mean to scare anyone.

You didn't scare me, you got my tail wagging. My next question would've been how can I get one!?!?
