Sog Arcitech W Jigged Bone Scales AND San Mai VG10 Blade Folding Knife

This knife has been lightly carried, but the blade has never been used to cut anything. The knife is in excellent, but not mint condition. It is important to see the detail of the photos that can be enlarged for viewing. The blade lockup is perfect. In the photos I tried to catch the line where you can see where the edge meets the core. This knife takes an amazing edge and is razor sharp.

From SOG’s description: a mirror polished San Mai (VG-10 core laminated with 420J2 stainless steel) exotic blade moves smooth as silk and mechanically effortless thanks to SOG’s very special arc-lock and abalone jewelled thumb stud. Safety: spring-action securely retains the blade closed. The titanium bolsters meet old school jigged bone handles in a rare and beautiful combination. The color of the jigged bone handles vary in color from a deep maroon, each knife a unique piece. The arc-lock far surpasses conventional lock strength, tested at over 1000 lbs of force measured at the lock in an independent lab test. This knife is backed by a lifetime warranty from SOG that protects against defects in workmanship and materials.Sold elsewhere

Funny... never thought about it. I am ambi and often open knives with my left hand, but am pretty good I guess at using my index finger to open a blade with a thumb stud designed for right handed use.

But, that said, Gander Mountain has the knife listed for $449 (it can be had for $325-$350 elsewhere) and they indicate on their listing on their site it is reversible. It is retained by a counter sunk Phillips screw that can be seen in the photos. I haven't tried to reverse it myself.
 
Email sent to request posting a picture of the blade centering

Thanks

I have been asked this question on one or two knives before. I've had a pretty extensive collection of knives, well over 100 custom knives, in my time, but I don't know that I have ever had an issue with blade centering, or perhaps I didn't see or experience them. I don't mean to belittle your question and please don't take it that way, but I am curious of your and anyone else's experience; are there often found centering issues? And, what might be the cause such issues? I ask this question of anyone, including any interested in the question that might not be interested in the knife.

Hope the following photos help...let me know if you want any other photos
