Up for sale is a relatively rare GPKnives exclusive Strider SnG in Orange Lego G10 with stonewashed blade and Ti and CPM-S30V steel.
This was a light user for me, and shows no visible signs of wear. No scratches on the blade, G10, or Ti. It has been reprofiled on my Wicked Edge to 19 DPS. It is very sharp but the edge is not aesthetically perfect (not fully polished). The blade is perfectly centered, and the lockup is without play in any direction at about 50%.
This knife is not without its quirks unfortunately: Adjusting the pivot does not change the blade tension, just the centering. The blade tension is controlled entirely by the body screw closest to the pivot, which needs to be relatively loose in order to ensure a smooth action. I have it locktited at just about the perfect level of tension, and since it is not fully tightened, it does rattle. The action is smooth, but the blade does not drop freely when the lockbar tension is released. I have returned the knife to Strider with mention of this quirk and they did not change anything. Functionally, this knife is not impaired in any way, but this is definitely not going to be a collector's piece.
I am asking $300 SOLD for this one, shipped via USPS Priority. Feel free to PM or email me with any questions!
