Knife has a few scuff marks on the blade finish and clip. I lightly sanded the liners with 600 grit to take away the sharp edges that come from the factory. The blade flicks open and closed with ease. Lockup is solid with no blade play and the edge has never been sharpened. This is actually the best axis lock I've had in terms of fit/finish, but I just don't like the grip. I couldn't get used to that notch at the rear so this blade sat in the drawer and it just needs a new home. I paid $150. Looking to get $80 for it shipped conus. I hardly used it at all but it is not mint as you can see. Thanks for looking.
