Here is my Model 2.2. The blade is S35Vn heat treated to 60rc by Peters' Heat Treat. It has been hand polished to 800 grit and is razor sharp.
The handle is carbon fiber weave. It is polished to show the details.
The liner is titanium as well as the pocket clip. All other hardware is stainless steel. It runs on bearings and is nice and smooth. It has early lockup and falls dead center.
Dimensions
Blade - 3" tip to handle
OAL - 7"
Closed - 4"
When grinding the lockface, I ground slightly into the bearing pocket. You can see it on the tang, there is a little divot where the bearing pocket is exposed. The liner lockup occurs at the other end of the tang, so it is just cosmetic, but (at least to me) annoying. I have since ordered a smaller bit for the bearing pocket, but this blade was done prior to that. For this reason, I am dropping the price a bit, although the cool carbon fiber brings it back up some.
Price - $295 shipped to US. I will ship internationally for an additional fee.
I will have this posted elsewhere, so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it!" gets it.
