I love this folder but I've simplified my edc down to a Buck Lancer so I'm moving it along. Blade is Bohler M390 steel and has amazing hardness/toughness/retention qualities.
I bought it used and a previously owner reprofiled the edge to a more acute angle, resulting in a very sharp blade. Being M390, you get to avoid the fragility issues you'd normally associate with such a modification. The re-profiling is a bit uneven. Should not affect performance at all but is noticeable when examining the blade.
The detent is strong enough to retain the blade but doesn't create an effortless flipping experience. Smooth flipping requires loading up the flipper tap a bit, or a little flick of the wrist. Never bothered me but might disappoint some.
$140 Shipped and Insured to CONUS, PayPal Goods and Services Only. Will consider shipping to other locations at buyer's expense.
In the event there is some contention for the purchase, the timestamp of the first PM to me will have first consideration.
Thanks!
