Original Thread with specifications: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/e-o-shadow-sold.809583/

Blade and spring Ats-34, Blade @ 61-62 Rc, 3/32" stock.
Blade is flat ground, 600 hand finish, cut swedges.
Liners, pins, sheild- stainless steel, liners are mill releived.
Scales my dyed and jigged bone, Federal sheild is pinned.
Closed length 3 7/8", open length 6 3/4".
Back is flush all three positions. About a 5+ on the pull, my
wife can pluck it easily even with the swedge. Cut long pull.
I thought about leaving the swedge off cause of the EO but
am glad I didn't.

Purchased directly from the maker. Sharpened and pocketed a bit, but I was too afraid to lose it and left it in a pouch for a large number of years now. Good snap but easy to pluck. Little scratches over the body including shield and pins but nothing deep as far as I can tell. Most obvious things are a small mark on the blade by the edge and another scuff in the middle of the back; please see the pictures where I circled those in red. Rather than try to put a number to the action, I took a video of it opening and closing where you can see and hear the action: https://photos.app.goo.gl/oNdqWRLeejBRnM576

Knife 2:
Ken Coats Back Pocket Shadow in Micarta, withdrawn
Original thread with specifications: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/long-pull-shadow.811647/

Blade and spring Ats-34, 3/32" stock, blade @ 61-62Rc.
Blade is flat ground, 600 hand finish, drawn swedges,
Liners pins hardware stainless steel. Liners are mill releived.
Scales Black linen base micarta, Round sheild is pinned.
Closed length 4 3/8", open length, 7 7/8".
Back is flush open, half stop, and closed position.
This one pulls at about a "5" for this size of knife, it can be
plucked easily. cut long pull.

Purchased directly from the maker. Sharpened and pocket some. The action is a bit off or it could use some lube for closing; this is best seen in this video (https://photos.app.goo.gl/yPkJhcnSuDC8g3QH9). Basically it is easy to open and close, but if you try to shut it from near the handle, it won't go down on its own. The blade doesn't rub but *has* rubbed against the liner when opening once or twice so that scratches are able to be seen at certain angles. Please see the pictures of this.. There's a single mark on the other side of the blade, and I circled that in red in one of the photosto be explicit.
