Hi everyone,
I've got a 2017 Andre De Villiers Hummer that's a bit too big for my area. It's got titanium and carbon fiber scales (weathered bronze finish on the titanium). I bought this from another forum member who had modified it. His description of the knife along with what he did to the Hummer is here:
This has been carried, used, sharpened and lightly modified. It has a “weathered” bronze finish Ti handle with shiny edges, frag pattern carbon fiber inserts, lockbar insert with integrated overtravel stop and a milled pocket clip. The blade is S35VN and has been blasted with satin near the edge to simulate a hamon. My mods were to sand out the hamon on the swedge, which isn’t completely done, and grind down part of the spine to make it less of a hump. I took about 1/8” off the spine at the biggest point and I was extremely careful not to overheat it. I dipped it in water very regularly and it was never too hot to touch to my cheek. These are around $625 new, I priced it low due to the mods, this will make a great user. This is a large, heavy knife, blade length is 4.12”, thickness is .180”, and it has a beefy full length backspacer with integrated lanyard hole. It rides on bearings and has a very robust flipping action that shakes your hand when it locks. Centering is excellent and lockup is solid at 40%ish. Comes with DigiCam ADV soft zipper case.
You can see pictures of the AdV Hummer here:

I have not personally carried or used this knife at all and still have the AdV pouch.
If you're interested, please send me a PM.
Thanks!
