[greeenie]

since theres no information out there that i can find, can you tell me a bit about it?

hows the lock up? the centering? specs? anything would be nice. I searched snap on and a google search and only found this thread

 

[greeenie]

Its aus8 steel, centering is perfect, lockup solid and just right. Its fast because of the ikbs, flips open just like the 561 i have, just quieter. Overall length is about 1 1/4" shorter.

The real question is HOW much. I know the truck like to charge full retail. luckily you can take your time.

127.50 + tax

That's pretty spendy, but I do like the profile of the blade, with it's nice belly, and it appears like it'd have pretty good ergonomics, IKBS really is grand, I think a lot of folders that sport bearings.

 

[viper89]

Looks really nice. I like that blade shape and the IKBS. I might have to pick one up, just need to find where...

 

[DShiflet]

I like the green one, not sure I'd wanna pay that much for an AUS-8 blade though.

 

[greeenie]

They claim rhc of 57-59 if that makes any difference

 

[simioh]

I really dig the blade shape. But it does seem like a lot of money for aus8 and for a CRKT.

These are one sale today for $30 on woot (orange only). Just ordered one.

By the way, sorry if that sounds kind of spammy. In general I don't recommend woot for much now that Amazon has ruined them, but this seemed like a good buy at $97 off of the Snap On price. We'll see how I like AUS8. All the knives I've made have been S90v or 3V, and most of the purchased knives I've owned have been S30v, 440C, or alphabet steels (8CR13MoV or similar).

Mostly I'm interested in seeing how the ball bearing pivot feels.
