Backspacer- Black G10
Clip- machined titanium clip set up for right hand tip up carry
Hardware- Stainless steel
Weight is around 5 oz.
Now, FULL DISCLOSURE READ HERE: I am the first owner of this knife, and since owning it I have had it sharpened by Josh at Razor Edge knives (http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1243155-Professional-Sharpening-Regrind-Cerakote-Service-%28pic-heavy!!%29) Did a great job.
-The detent is strong but fun and a sure flipper every time.
-I have carried this knife often, used it little.
-Unfortunately the knife has developed up/down vertical play. Not sure why, I would suspect the stop pin but I am not knowledgeable about these things. See picture. Hopefully an easy fix for someone with the know-how.
-Note that the grind on the presentation side tanto tip is a bit off. Came that way from maker. See picture.
-I have not disassembled or monkeyed with the knife.
-Centering favors lock side, See Picture.
SELLING THIS KNIFE AT $225 SHIPPED NOW SOLD, I will eat the fees. Paypal only please. Feel free to ask any questions. First "Ill take it" followed by a PM/Email & prompt payment. USA only please.
Make sure you read the whole listing and look at all pics so you know what you are getting, I don't want to mislead anyone!
Now, for the pics pardon the photography:
