Been doing a bit of tinkering with a couple different mini arius configs and swapped out the blade from a full factory DLC one into the handle of a Corda Ti one. So what I've got on offer today is the "left over" i.e. COA-partly-mismatched knife:
Mini Arius factory NF with m390 burnished w/pf blade and smooth DLC handle and hardware
This will come with the box, cloth, and COA (matching the blade).
Couple things of note -
--I've sharpened the blade on a TSProf following the factory angle and finished with a 9k grit stone leaving a near mirror edge. The bevel is even side to side and it's hair popping sharp, but the tip got a bit rounded in the process of me sharpening it so it's a bit blunted and not completely even. I've tried to show this in the pics. Also the blade has been used to open two packages but that's it.
--The handles and hardware on this knife are coming from a brand new full smooth dlc build and have not been used whatsoever.
--I've noticed that for whatever reason the lock engagement percentage is higher with this blade versus the stock blade it came with. There's no lock stick, and lockup, centering, and action are all perfect, but it is somewhat noticeable when disengaging the knife. Again, tried to show this best I can in the pics.
The full DLC Mini originally went for $1150, and the Corda one for $850, so I'm asking what is hopefully a fair price of:
SV **SOLD**
If my pricing seems off, feel free to make me an offer. No trades at this time.
Any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Happy to post further pics/vid if people want to see. Thanks for looking:]
