Skiff Accomplice. Per email from Steve, this is an early build, so its definitely a rare one, because it runs on a bushing and washers. Internals are engine turned, look fantastic when you peek inside. Typical perfect fit and finish from Skiff blades. I spent a ton of time getting this thing dialed in to .001" tolerance, so it is SMOOTH. Recent spa, carried only once since then. Notice the rub marks/scratches on the lockside on the flat of the blade from when i was constantly disassembling and reassembling for the tuning process. Asking a ridiculous undermarket price of 900!!!

Well it has a bushing and washer pivot, like a sebenza, which allows the pivot to be cranked as tight as you can get it, and be perfectly smooth but absolutely no play. It is an absolute nightmare to set up properly as it takes a bunch of disassembly and reassembly while take off a few thousandths of an inch each time until the pivot stack clearance, bushing and standoff thickness is all within a certain tolerance

Are you saying that you modified the pivot mechanism or just took it apart and reassembled it a bunch?
 
In short, with Steve's guidance, i lapped the bushing that sits in the pivot, which required a bunch if taking it apart and putting it back together to get it perfect
