Pics of this knife have been posted before, but since I just got it I thought I would share the fun with everyone. I just traded for this ATR, which has a Blue/Black G-10 scale and STR titanium low rider clip installed. The work was done by Trimcut123. This thing is really nice, with great workmanship. The G-10 scale makes the knife much lighter, and between that and the STR clip this thing disappears in your pocket. Being a sharpening nut I had to make the edge my own, so I slightly thinned the angle to 12-13 degrees per side, with a microbevel of 14-15 degrees per side. The backbevel is polished out to 8000 grit, the microbevel is polished out to .05 microns, so it is pretty sharp. Lock up is perfect, about 1/3 over and not a bit of wiggle in it. There is also the orignal clip and scale for it if I want to return it to stock, but the knife carries and feels so good like this I doubt I will ever change it back. I really like this knife and have been looking for a PE ATR for a long time, and I feel lucky to have stumbled into this one.

Thanks. Now I just need to find a way to change my screwed up thread title to "ATR" instead os AR so they don't think I'm trying to show off a Strider of a rifle.

I know, my stupid wireless keyboard misses letters when you type too fast, and I didn't double check the thread title. That is a nice looking plinker there, by the way.
