Have a user aegis hoplite up for trade. Looking for a hindered fatty (prefer a camo, black or orange scale- but I'm open)
My hoplite is silky smooth, locks up super solid side to side but you can muscle a little movement up and down. I spoke to Jeff (owner of aegis knife works ) and he stands behind his work 100%. If it bothered you , he will refurb it for you. He will fix the lock rock issue and he even offered to re - acid etch and stonewash the blade. (I just prefer satin blades). As you can see the handles were bead blasted and show signs of carry (character
) , and the blade was brushed satin to remove the acid etch, then stonewashed, then the flats were satin/semi polished. So stonewashed grinds- semi polished flats. Looks good and hides wear- great for a user! It's a badass, smooth, edc.. I've had it awhile and just looking for something new- the fatty is top on the list at the moment.
