Mike Draper JMD Custom Folder
This was made for me by Mike Draper. I am the first and original owner.
Carried a few days. Very few marks.
Tip is very slightly damaged from opening a tea tin for my girlfriend (Will probably come out with first sharpening. If you drew a dot on a piece of paper with a sharp pencil, that's how small the area is.)
4" blade of S30V - It's the thicker blade upgrade from Mike (.135 thick rather than .125)
I also had him add ambi thumb studs instead of the usual left side only.
"Camo" finish
Action is super smooth. Mike uses graphite bearings in his knives.
Blade is slightly off-center in the handle with the pivot tight. Blade becomes centered if you loosen the pivot until there's a little play. (your choice)
Lock-up is awesome and never fails the spine wack test with a hunk of wood. Has plenty room for wear.
This is a beefy, heavy bad-ass knife.
$500 shipped insured Make it $450 ! Make it $425 shipped insured !
Might consider trade for Extrema Ratio folder or some other really strong-but-cheaper knife plus cash.
Need a Part-serrated large Manix.
Also looking for a Benchmade 806 D2 AFCK & Emerson Raven
Might trade multiple cheaper knives.
