HAPPY EASTER BF!!
CCC MK2 Handmade Front Flipper DOB: 1/6/15 Edge is as sharpened by Clyde- unsharpened, unstropped, unmolested in any way since!:p
Carbon Fiber Scales & Backspacer- very nice, no voids or blemishes. Pictures shown were taken today, and knife will not be carried or used beyond this point.

- 5mm Hardened pivot
- 3.2mm hardened stop-pin
- Ceramic detent
- Branded zipper bag
- Dual Titanium Liner Lock- very solid lockup
- Zero Blade play, Perfectly Centered
- Original Edge- never sharpened or stropped
- Comes with original DOB card and padded branded zipper bag
- 3.25" Damasteel Rose Pattern Steel Blade, Great Etching
- Milled Lo-pro Damasteel Clip
- 4" Handle, 7.25" opened

Slight indications of light weekend carry such as a bit of black rub-off on the side of the pivot and hint of rubbing on the clip (see pics), but easy 9/10+ condition! No other issues or problems to report. This knife was posted on Clyde's Instagram page last year and is absolutely stunning! Please message me with questions or more pics.

$550 NOW $525... $475...$450...$425 FIRM :D
which is much less than it would be configured and ordered from him, IF his books were open!

Mostly looking for cash, but trade interests are: Jarosz, Other front flippers, Spyderco Vrango, CRK Damascus, or other Damasteel Blade Knives, Busse INFI- esp HHFSH & TGLB, or a Norseman!

This is a VERY well-made folder with extremely impressive tolerances, fit & finish, blade-to-handle ratio, and all around feel! Study the pics and video. There is no portruding thumbstud or stabby flipper tab, just a clean blade easily deployed by the perfect amount of jimping on the minimal-yet-effective front tab. There is no large empty space in the handle when closed- it is packed with blade all the way to the tip, but it's not possible to catch you finger on the point when closed (I've tried). The tolerances are so good that it looks like the blade is smooshed into the handle, but if you hold it up to light you can see a thin precise amount of equal space between the blade and the titanium liners. There is no play side-to-side or up-and-down movement in the blade when the lock is disengaged in any position of the blade.

*Please note- the Damasteel coloring & deep etch is nice and even, very well done. Any areas that appear lighter or faded are just from my poor photography skills (iPhone). I'm happy to share more pics at other angles/lighting conditions!
