Hey y’all! Received this beauty in a trade recently, but for whatever reason, it’s just not for me. So off it goes!
**description is below photos**
This is a CKF Spectra with Timascus bolsters, a rose Damasteel blade, Ti liners, and carbon fiber scales. The knife is in very good to excellent condition, and I will followup with more detailed info later in this post.
The run was limited to 150 pieces, of which this is #94.
Comes with CKF pouch, card, and parts kit (which includes washers, bearings, screws, and even a spare pocket clip).
Runs on MRBS.
I have put some KPL in the pivot, but haven’t disassembled. More on that later.
Action is absolutely gorgeous. Detent is towards the light side of medium, but flips effortlessly nonetheless. Perfect drop shut. Second only to the Shirogorov I traded for it.
Lockup is solid in all directions.
I actually attempted to disassemble this knife, but was unable to because of the free spinning pivot and lack of ways to get appropriate friction on the backside of the pivot. In doing so, I managed to loosen the pivot a tiny bit, and now the centering is a hair off. If you could find something like a high friction piece of soft rubber to tighten it back up, the pivot would go back to being perfect.
There is one nearly undetectable scratch on the lockside bolster. Impossible to catch on camera, and you have to find the perfect light to see it with the naked eye.
There is very slight wear on some of the screws.
Trade interests:
I am primarily looking to trade for a Reate Jack plus some cash from your end. Very specifically, I’m looking for the Cranes Cutlery exclusive Jack 1.5.
However, I am also open to all offers, especially with other variants of the Jack, the Reate Future, or Reate in general.
PM, or leave your email with offers, and feel free to ask for more pics, more information, or any other questions you may have!
