Domino C172CFTIP - Blue-weave CF / CTS-XHP steel - I'm the second owner of this discontinued and rare gem, which is very hard to find at a non-ridiculous price. There's some red-weaves and black ones around, but the blue-weaves are next to impossible to get, and at the price I'm asking??? Fuggettabouttit! I've only able to find one online for the last several weeks (spoiler alert - on eBay for $499 + $17 shipping....sheesh!)
Anyway, this Domino is a real beauty and probably has the best detent and flipping action I've ever come across on a Spyderco flipper. Spydie-flick, thumb-flick, and flipping are all exquisitely dialed in and satisfying. I can't call this LNIB, but it's pretty darn close....just carried a few times with factory edge not used to cut anything but a few sheets of paper. Blade is flawless and perfectly centered, blue-weave cf ply is perfect, and if there is any wear on the titanium side (I don't think so), it would be hidden by stone washing, anyway. All in all, a great specimen of a terrific knife, but just one that I don't carry, and I'm pretty much going to a use and carry-only scenario for my collection.
Asking $210 - PayPal G&S, shipped USPS priority CONUS only.
