Fantoni Dweller in OD Micarta. I took this on a trade to see just what it would take to rebuild and make new scales for it. It was far more of a PITA than anticipated, but it turned out nice. Would make a great EDC as it sits now with no worries of ruining the soft wood that was originally on this knife. I "corrected" some of the more nitpicky fit issues that are inherent in a true production assembled knife. There is still a slight gap at the backspring because it assembled with washers but is not clearanced to do so.

The action is very different... It doesn't have a true "half-stop". It's a cam tang with a detent mid way. So it doesn't "snap" to half stop like you are used to, it's just there for the safety aspect of having a stop.

I haven't followed the values on these, but it looks like they are/were $130ish new. I don't think it's worth a ton more than that, but it is the only 1 of these I plan on doing. Let's call it $125 shipped CONUS.

Really nice work, Jordan. Great price, too. That steel is pretty cool on a slip joint.

The action - aside from the detent, is it otherwise as a normal slip joint?
