I have a DDC SNG CC that has been a great EDC with light use.
The lockup is pretty solid but it sometimes has a slight bit of vertical play (like half a mm, it is really small). I put a really small strip of black tape on the back thumbstud which was enough the make the lockup rock solid for the past week. (This may have been caused by when the first owner dropped and chipped the tip, which was fixed by Strider when I bought it-see the pics)
However, all this could be fixed by another trip to the Strider spa. Since I live in Canada it would most likely cost me another $65 in customs fees just to get the knife back from the shop. Seeing as I have a new SNG that has replaced this one, and I have a need for an Office friendly EDC, I feel I must try sell/trade it.
This knife has been really awesome to carry, and the CC handles make it sink into your pocket and you forget it's even there. Besides the small lockup issue, which is temporarily fixed, the action is nice and smooth and makes a very satisfying sound when opened.
The blade has a really sick grind with a awesome barbwire pattern on the blade and Duane Dwyer's signature is etched in the side. The blade is sharp enough for me right now, but it could definitely use a sharpening. I'm not the greatest with a sharpmaker.
The G10 side of the handles are perfect looking, the Ti side have a few slight scratches on them. See the pics:
I wouldn't mind the following knives/makers: Tom Mayo, Rick Hinderer, Jim Harrison, Strider Dauntless, Jens Anso Haddock, Scott Cook. Don't be afraid to make an offer, worst I can say is no.
