Mine came in and I’m pretty blown away so far. I’ll try and get some pics up tomorrow. Probably one of my favorite handle finishes I’ve ever had.

Haha here ya go, green/bronze frag. I ordered the clip that got here before the knife did. The holes don’t quite line up, so it’s only got one screw in it right now. I’m going to try and use a small drill bit to fix that this weekend.

Nooooo definitely not touching the scales. Just going to expand the clip holes slightly to match the scales.

Took me a couple minutes to figure out opening it. I was trying to muscle it open and it turned out that it opened way easier when I went easy on it.
I think I'm gonna really like this. 'Course now that I said that I forgot what I was doing. LOL

The trick is no pressure on the lockbar. I try to make sure my fingers are nestled on the pocket clip off the bar.
That blue looks good

Right on I’m happy you got a sweet deal! I know I love my blue frag Dixon! It has a tendency to push other knives out of the pocket!

Blue looks really good! I do agree, it took me a bit to figure out the best way to open it and any pressure on the lock bar pretty much stops it.
I’ve also found I enjoy a thumb/middle finger pinch pushing outward on the inside of the blade hole for a more controlled deployment.
