Just got a ZT 550 off the forum from and individual, brand new, second gen, $150. The blade has xxxx on it, does this mean it's a blem? It has a serial number, just not sure what the x's are for. It was not mentioned before I bought it.
 
Hmm. The only XXXX's I have seen have been blems. But I thought blems were not supposed to have serial numbers... Hopefully someone else will be able to clear this up for you.
 
Blems have serial numbers (at least my 0200 does) I would guess you got a blem.
 
With a blem you don't get the factory warranty. I would be pissed if someone sold me a blem and didn't disclose that info up front.
 
Yeah, not to happy about it. I could have bought it on Amazon brand new for $12 more with a warranty.
 
XXXX = Blem

At least it's a ZT, and since it's 2nd gen they've worked the bugs out. So you probably won't NEED warranty.
Still, bad form on the part of the seller. Contact 'em. If they don't make you satisfactory concessions, that's what the G/B/U feedback sub-forum is for.
Awesome knife, anyhow. 3 of my 4 kershaw blems are perfect - I can't even tell what's wrong with 'em. (The other is perfectly good, but I think I figured it out.) And I love my (non-blem) 0551.
 
Did you buy it on the exchange? I would contact the seller and tell him that I'm not happy. Send the knife back and get a refund.
 
All in all, there are no problems with the knife. The lock up is solid with no blade play, and it was cheaper than anything I could have got. I should have asked for pics. I will let him know for sure, but I think I'll keep it.
