Chad Nichols Machairi with Timascus and Damascus
SV/TV $700
I don't see any damage or wear on the knife. Has a nice opening action but this is not drop shut. You can shake it close, but it's tight on closing. Early lockup but it feels secure to me and I haven't had the lock slip or anything. There is a small amount of lockstick. Includes knife only.

Someone had previously asked about the early lockup so here are a few more pictures of it. The lock bar has a chamfer along the edge that makes the lockup appear a little earlier than it actually is. Tapping the blade against my hand doesn’t move the lock at all. I haven’t whacked it against a table or anything, but I can’t get it to fail with a reasonable amount of force. I also included a picture of the blade lock face that give a better idea of how much lockup is there. The lock covers the shiny area you can see on the blade lock face.
Lockup Pictures:
Main trade interests would be for a Large Sebenza or Large Inkosi in S45VN. Micarta and drop point preferred. I'm open to consider other offers.
