One of the lesser-seen models from Mike. With his retiring from knifemaking, this can only get more rare! This is the smaller version:

3 3/16" Blade (80mm), 7 1/2" (190mm) OAL.

Titanium bolsters, Blue/Black Micarta or G10 (?) scales, polished large clip, Micarta backspacer, tip down carry.

I do not know the blade steel, but you can be sure it's competent. I purchased this from another collector, and I have never cut or sharpened anything with it. I'll call it 99% mint only because.

Incredible fit and finish for a 'hard-use' knife and it is as smooth as silk from open to detent close. Perfect lockup joint.

$345 includes a small zipper pouch, free ConUS shipping (Priority Mail), and NO PayPal fee added for the inconvenience of getting paid immediately... :rolleyes:

First confirmed "I'll take it" in this post gets it. Email to follow through. Satisfaction guaranteed. Two-day inspection period.

Thanks for your considerations.

Hi Matt,

Give me a holler on PM. Above email is Paypal qualified.

Thank you.

Regarding the steel on this one - I was the second owner before selling it to Coop. I contacted Mike and he said it was most likely D2 or possibly 154cm. Mike said the blade tang would have a marking for the heat treat. If you really want to find out you could take it apart and look.

Thanks for the info. I like 154, but have never had a knife with D2. I will look when I receive it.

Thank you! I just learned something, too. (Good memory!)
