ZT-0550 Pivot

Wolverine666 · Mar 19, 2013

Just wondering if the ZT-0550 (2nd gen) has a bronze washer or anything similar in it's pivot system ?

Yeah, it should have one bronze washer on each side.

Nice. Thanks. I was just curious. I couldn't find the info on their site.

My 0550 opens really smooth. It's an outstanding knife.

When I first opened my 0550 I was extremely surprised on the smoothness of the blade. Now I carry either that or the 0561 everyday!

I continue to be impressed with my 0550. It is a blade to be cherished.

It does have bronze washers. Had mine apart to change scale and was able to center the blade.

I owned the 560 before purchasing a 550. I was worried that the 550 not having the KVT system would be a problem. But my 550 opens so smooth and quick that I find it riding in my pocket more than any other knife lately. I am a big fan of the 550!!!!

Yep, love my 0550 as well (gen2). Very smooth and fast deploying. Big fan of the knife myself.
