Here are the blade markings. Can anyone identify that little extra logo? Is that the logo Kershaw adopted to signify their short-lived factory Sprint Runs?

The insides are classic Skyline, no change from the legacy design. Action out of the box was disappointing, but it felt like the pivot was over-tightened.

The same PB washers and the same ball-nub detent.

All in all, a little disappointing. This could’ve been an opportunity to really “re-birth” the Skyline, but instead it feels like someone needed to clear out the parts bin.
Value is a stretch. There are so many better, cheaper knives available. The Skyline really is great knife tech for 2007, but can’t compete today.
There aren’t many reasons to buy this at this price, unless you’re a collector of Skylines like me, or want to experience the best knife of a decade and a half ago.
After cleaning, lubricating, reassembly and tuning the pivot, the action is good, for a Skyline. Build up a little pressure and light-switch the flipper and it flies out reliably. I’ll post a video if I can figure it out.
