I'm selling a lightly used fallkniven workhorse for $100 OBO, shipped w/ PP G&S.

The LamCoS steel supposedly performs similar to S30V for those that aren't familiar. In my mind, this is like a modern adaption on the buck 110 with a convex grind and wedged drop point which I think fall into many people's preferences these days over a clip point and hollow grind, though plenty of 110's still getting sold for sure.

The CRKT has some very stiff action on it, and I'm just going to include it with the fallkniven as I haven't used it much since it was given to me. I'm generally not a tanto or combo grind person so it just hasn't been used. It is a military edition so it has a bit of a funky safety where the liner lock is automatically locked open when the blade is deployed.

I pulled the CRKT apart and cleaned it and it works better but still not pristine. It seems to me that the ball detent in the liner lock isn't spinning like it should so that's likely where the resistance is coming from.

I also removed the liner lock's lock because I think they're stupid and I either can't figure out how to put it back together or there is a spring missing that I must have lost but never saw it when disassembling the knife at my desk. There is a recess in the scale that looks like a spring like one for a backlock would sit but again, I can't find the leaf spring anywhere and I didn't see anything when it came apart. As it is, it works like any other liner lock.

I'll try to get this sent out before the weekend but with the holiday, I'm not sure if USPS will be open on Friday since it seems everyone is observing the 4th on Friday.

Have a good night and I will forward tracking when I get it.
