Very good to excellent overall condition. 154-CM blade is centered. Zero play in any direction. Tiny tiny bit of lock stick. There are some relatively faint marks on either side of the blade towards the tip. The rest of the blade looks unused. Edge looks to be original Microtech factory edge, without any nicks, chips or rolls. The aluminum handles have rubber inserts unlike the current model which has "grip tape". There is one slightly more noticeable, but still faint, scratch right above the clip. Otherwise, handles looks mint. All hardware in great condition, nothing mangled or stripped. The stonewashed pocket clip has some faint scratches but just about invisible to the naked eye. For a knife that's almost 21 years old, it's really in great shape. If it weren't for the marks on the blade, I would have rated it to be near mint to mint overall condition. Knife only, no box/papers.
Overall Length: 9.25"
Blade Length: 4"
Weight: 4.4 oz.
Price: Withdrawn from Sale delivered, PayPal Good & Services.

From what I understand, DOC's have been discontinued. This particular knife was made in 12/2013, but it looks like it left MT yesterday. 154-CM blade is well centered, but not absolutely perfect. It's ONE hair off. I have had a few of these and that's just the way it is with DOC's. I had maybe one where the blade is perfectly matched up to the "notch" of the back spacer. No play in any direction. Zero lock stick. No nicks, chips or rolls on unused original MT factory edge. The blue paint job on the aluminum handles is perfect, without flaw. All of the proprietary hardware is untouched and perfect. The action on this knife is SMOOOOTH. Blade flies open. Detent is just right, not too stiff, not too loose. Comes with original MT box, baggie and Lifetime Limited Warranty/Maintenance card. These sold for about $370 before being discontinued. From what I can tell, these have been sold out everywhere.
