I'm looking forward to hearing the feedback on the HEST folder, I'm sure it'll probably be great, since I already have an SR-1 by Lion Steel I'm gunna wait on the HEST folder, but I'll probably get one eventually. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I sure hope the HEST/F ships soon, at least before Christmas.  
 I love my 0551 too.  Its my first ZT knife and Im impressed with it so far.  I really like how beefy and solid it is.  Great knife.

I have skipped the ZT 551 in favor of the new HEST folder. But I am sure the ZT is a winner, too. 
 Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Those ZT's look nice as does the LionSteel blade. But I think I will just stick with my CR blades (Thanks again Tonester)!

I find it carries great, I forget it's clipped in my pocket most of the time, I'm really loving this one , the hest will really have to be something special to knock out the zt551 ![[Linked Image from i1010.photobucket.com]](http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af221/jroden54/ce85b753.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i1010.photobucket.com]](http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af221/jroden54/DSCF0197.jpg)

Just have two ZT's and they are bricks both. The 200 appeals to me too, but looks huge.  Thought the 0551 might be a little friendlier to carry.  Just saw some comparison photos on bladeforums and I wonder if it's big for me.  The Gayle Bradley is still a bit big for me too...I like my Sage 2, but would like a harder use beater in that size...don't know what it might be!
