I need to pay for some incoming knives so this combo package goes on the block. I would not sell this Rijbak (IMHO, the best pimp job ever) but I've not much else to sell.
1. The is another fully "pimped" knife, more like a custom than a production. 3.5" satin S30V blade. Very slim yet robust framelock folder.
Here are the mods that are done to it:
- blade is reground from original, the bevels are thinned down to 0.020" just behind the edge, from original 0.040". This makes the blade a very efficient cutter. This also removed the loud "Bladetech" markings, leaving only the lightfoot shark logo. looks like a true custom.
- lock has been tweaked and adjusted so that opening and closing is very smooth.
- edge professionally resharpened - it's now very very sharp. no resistance slicing paper
- the whole frame has been radiused at the edges so it's smooth and comfortable in the hand, no hot spots. Then I had the frame and the clip anodized to a nice brown-bronze colour. (note the original had a very rough sandblast, now it's smooth beadblast and ano...it's like the colour of the HAIII brown in surefire flashlights). The radiused edges of the frame make a BIG difference
- clip is now position for tip-up carry, instead of the original tip down.
- installed a custom-made textured green canvas micarta scales.
- flame anodized all the hardware as well, the screws, the pivot.
- the original scales will be included, of course.
This is a one-of-a-kind Rijbak, a "custom" as it is.
Pics....(sorry for the poor quality, as I lost my photo-editing software and took these pics during my lunch break at work).
2. NIB Spyderco Matriarch VG10, black FRN. Box and papers.
I'm asking for $500 shipped, paypal fee included for both knives.
I prefer not to break them up, but if you want the Rijbak - it's $375 shipped, paypal fee included. Matriarch is $140 shipped, paypal fee included.
