Price includes shipping and fees to CONUS. No trades please.
I bought this knife new from KC for ~$159 when still in stock. I wanted to play with the finish on the G10. At first I buffed it to a mirror polish, but I didn't like how fingerprinty it was. So I attempted to resatin it, but as you can see my attempt wasn't the most fruitful. The handles are in good shape, just a little ugly. It has the factory edge, with the exception of a small sharpening choil. The blade is like new, and has exceptionally smooth glassy action. Rock solid lockup, centered blade. I can Spydie flick it open, but being a lockback it's not quite like a Para. I also purchased an additional black TI screw set and clip, ~$40 from BladesWeLove. The original polished screws and clip are included.
I would recommend buying this knife if you want a user and plan to use it. Not much of a collector piece with the finish of the handles, but they are discontinued and this is well below retail with all included. $130 TYD. Thanks!
