Small Apogees (scans)

[James Mattis]

I haven't put these up on my web page as a regular item (yet), but I have a couple of small Darrel Ralph Apogees that I picked up from him at the SHOT Show. One has been in my shirt pocket a bit, but hasn't done any heavy work and hasn't needed sharpening yet.

Anodized Titanium, 420V steel, very thin cross-section. Smooth actions. One locks up on the very edge of the tang, but both pass the spine-whack test. Either Apogee is $395, including a $50 check from me to AKTI or the non-profit of the customer's choice.

The "woodie" small Sebenza is also for sale.

James, don't worry about the slight tang connection as you open and close the knife it will slowly wear and drift over. So every open and close will make the lock up even better! I've got one of the large ones and that was the case on mine, but it's centered now!
