To make it easy $850, includes flawless original box(I will go take a pic) I believe hand engraved insided lock bar scale hidden: 2016 CPM S90V, could be 2015 but very hard to see. Please take a second a read as I believe anyone purchasing would be interested in.
I have held out selling for years but I think the time has come. This knife has flawless centuring, the action is hands down my favorite as it fires hard and locks up solid but somehow he kept the lockbar pressure dare I say "floating". The action in unreal and I can't compare it to anything else besides other high end Hobacks. There is no lock rock, no off centured blade, no hot spots or edges that have not been blended and smoothed by Jake himself, I have had every knife from collections of Hinderers and Chris Reeves and nothing bring me the joy of owning this at a time when Jake Hoback had no employees and lived in a town of maybe 200 people named Virginia City,Nevada. I say none of this to "hype" this knife, I searched forever to find such example, the best I can desribe is: I always thought of this if Hinderer were to make a medium XM-18 as it falls perfectly between the 3.5 and 3" model XM-18's, it's hard to describe but these knifes are tactial with tons of grip and jimping but buttery smooth and feel soft on all edges/clip/lockbar/etc. Anyways I took a bunch of pics and have tried my best to descibe and capture what the knife is to me, forget to get the box photo uploaded but even it is flawless(seriously not even a speck of dust). Just a gorgous custom and treated with care since entering my care.
