I like both of these knives but don't love them so I'm offering them up for sale. ***No trades unless you have a Diskin USA flipper with M390 blade.***

I paid the extra and had the blue anodizing done as well as the lock carbidizing. It came to me with a super sticky lock and impossible detent but I've worked it and worked it and now the lock is not sticking and it flips so much easier. It still has a strong detent and it fires like a rocket! Definitely a "light switch" flipper and not a "push button." Beautiful color and blade shape and grind. Very early lockup and no play whatsoever. Has not been carried or used aside from flipping to break it in.

Just got this in yesterday and it is very smooth out of the box with basically no lock stick. I got it direct and it came with a mark on the blade as seen in the pictures it's not a scratch, more of a scuff on the finish. Otherwise it's perfect.
