The 550 runs a sheepsfoot blade with a large thumb hole, which gives you a straight edge for board work and a blunt safe tip. The 551 runs a classic drop point with dual thumb studs and a partially serrated black Cerakote edge for rope, webbing and packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color:#cfcfcf;font-size:15px;margin:0 0 30px;\"\u003eFreedom USA Sales is an authorized Benchmade dealer.
