*************** SOLD ******************
Hey guys, so up for sale is my EDC user GB. It has been well loved, used for anything and everything and sharpened many times. But to get it ready for sale, I have done the following: reground the blade (it's at 15 dps, .010" on the main edge and thickens up to about .017" at the tip - more prying strength if needed but an EXCELLENT slicer), acid etched/stonewashed the blade, enhanced the liner lock access and spydie hole access in the scales, rounded the pocket clip to prevent hotspots during prolonged use, and put a fresh application of Armor Black cerakote on the pocket clip and scales. I left the spacers and such alone which had previously been coated in Graphite Black, they have a few dings in them (see pics). Also, while not seen I had attempted to skelotonize the liners and got a few holes drilled before I gave up - they are all coated w/ cerakote now though.
It has a "sticky" sharp edge on this thing, hair popping yet it will bite deep when cutting - razor sharp. The lock up is pretty solid, no vertical blade play and a little horizontal play if you apply medium to heavy pressure, but none when wigging it lightly. You can see the lock up on the lock face in the pic. It is pretty smooth because I broke it in again, but long time ago I cerakoted the entire thing, pivot and all so I would say it's not quite as smooth as stock GB's but it is definitely broken back in and ready to go. It favors one side slightly, but no rubbing. No stripped screws or rust anywhere and I applied blue lock tite to the pivot screws and pocket clip screws. Even though I have a decent amount of work into it, I am letting it go for cheap due to the use and age.
Sold to wtlj for $85 net to me via Paypal includes STYD in CONUS. Thanks!
