Selling a couple of my customs, I just can't bring myself to use them. And can't justify having them sit in my safe forever.
First up is my Grail knife, my Mick Strider Custom SMF with a nightmare grind. This knife is beautiful in every way, and everything that i'd hoped it would be. Perfectly centered, razor sharp, and the grind is ridiculously symmetrical. Made in the US by one bad a dude, Mick Strider, whom definitely knows what he's doing. It has the awesome MSC logo with the skull and halo on the beautifully stonewashed lock side, and the beautifully stonewashed show side has the normal MSC logo done in a 3D manner. I believe the blade is comprised of 3V. Never been used, just opened and closed. I'm still in awe at the sharpness of this blade with the tiny bevel Mick put on it. Super smooth; no stick, flowthrough design with beautiful pillars. This baby has a massive bladestop! And locks up right around 20%, definitely the most bada$$ knife i've ever owned. $OLD TYD CONUS.

And lastly is a Calavera Cutlery Model 4 featuring a 3.5" blade comprised of Carpenter CTS-XHP steel!
Beautifully stonewashed handle 4.4" comprised of 6al4v titanium.
Overall length 8"
Hardware: hardened 416 SS
Two screw takedown
This knife features an interesting run of jimping along the spine of the blade that allows for one handed opening via using your thumb on the jimping and rotating the blade around the pivot, and over the top of the handle. It is very smooth, centering seems to ever so slightly favor the show side of the knife. This may be due to the lockbar pressing against the blade, or perhaps the pivot could use a slight adjustment. It has a very nice detent! I can't see this knife ever opening in your pocket, regardless of what you're doing. I cannot flip the blade out, however it has a very smooth deployment via the cutout in the blade, and also the jimping method I described earlier. Lockup is absolutely solid, and looks to be right about 30%.
Made in San Diego CA, USA by Jeremy Robertson. Comes with original package tube and stickers. I believe these go for 650$ from Jeremy. I received this blade in a trade, it is new and un-used. And it can be yours for $600 TYD CONUS. I'm having a hard time getting the pictures to upload, I will do my best to get some posted. If not I can certainly send them to your email.
Thanks
