ZT 0200 VS 0300 series

[bladenovice]

You got it for less than the price that everyone else is selling the 0551 for?

I'm pretty curious too...

Not to answer for SpookyDriver, but that's not how I interpreted what he said.

If you really want a ZT 0551, just put a "want to buy" post in the classifieds here. ...

I ended up with this one for less than the price of a new 0301:

A new 0301 lists for $265. A new 0551, if you can get one, is "only" $200. :thumbup:

A new 0301 may "list" for $265 (I thought it was $236), but they sell for less than $200 at most dealers if you call or email for their best price.

I guess I'm just used to seeing the 0551s go for $250 now that they're rare. Or maybe that was just one, who knows. my bad.

I haven't seen them that high...yet. Of the three offers I received for NIB 0551's, one was just under $200 and two were just over $200. None were anywhere near $250. I bought two of them and the average of the two prices was $197.50. I bought three 030x's (one 0301/two 0303) from two different retailers a few weeks ago and paid ~$1 more each for those knives when you average the price of the three.

I want another 300 to go with my 200. I thank a man really needs both. I do not think you will get a better knife for the money. The 200 feels better to me in the hand, but I like how the 300's opens!
