The curse of putting together a big sale post for a bunch of knives is that sometimes I get one out and realize it perfectly lines up with my interests now, and it gets moved out of the to-sell drawer, LOL.
I'm not big into modded knives, but I picked this one up used some time ago and the original owner did a bang-up job on three well-thought out mods: sharpening choil, stonewashed ti scale, smooth OD micarta scale. The 0550 is such a great example of an old-school, pants-dragging ZT beast.
That is a cool knife, Ive been looking for a 0560 to pop up on the forum but I haven't seen any good ones.

Honestly, I've never used that knife. I sharpened it with my Wicked Edge and put it in the pile.
I bought the Gen 3 appr. 5 years ago and when it didn't "tickle my pickle" I sent it off to have the CF scale made.
The scale is probably 3/8 inch thick and though the knife as a whole is asymmetrical, it is very easy to grip when compared to the original grip. I also had the dude make matching lightning-strike plugs (X2) for the clip locations. Here is one installed.
It's an oddity. But, I'm a Reeves guy at heart.
I've not been able to see any of your pics. Both this and other posts. Just see an unclosed"IMG" tag. Not sure why
sounds pretty cool but unfortunately i cant see the pics either for some reason.

Wow, that is a cool knife, I didn't know the etching was all over. I also didn't know they made a XM24 skinny..... very interestingThx. It’s a TAD Topo XM24 Skinny, came like that (not the edge).

Every time you post that knife I drool, brother. Inasmuch as the 710 is one of my all-time favorite models, I most heartily agree with Wolverine. Just WOW!

If that thing breaks, like mine always do, coping saw blades work really well and are often even cheaper.

Great advice. The carving blade looks like a winding country road. Barely made it lol. Snapped two last year. This time I made sure we all scraped out the insides extra thin.
