Brown Knives Servo #170. Purchased direct from Craig Brown on 12/31/2018. M390 steel. Milling style #2. Dark Purple anodized. Very smooth action, centered blade. Craig lists it as a strong detent- I actually found the detent to be perfect- however if you're putting tension on the lock bar you will have difficulty flipping it open. I carried this knife for about a week when I first got it. I opened a few pieces of mail with it, and that's about it. Black case, certificate of authenticity, and allen key all included.

This was the last M390 Servo Craig Brown made and he is currently not making this model anymore.

This is the description from the Brown Knives Website:
***Strong Detent***
- Milling Style #2
- Titanium backspacer
- Titanium overtravel stop
- Titanium pocket clip
- Stonewash/Bead Blast M390
- Brown Knives DRB

After a conversation with Kaeter0328, I was asked to check if the knife lock will fail when you spine whack it. I discovered than when I spine whack it on my knee I can get the lock to fail. I will post the link to a video I made.

Because of that issue I am drastically lowering the price to SOLD shipped, with full disclosure of this issue. I thought at that price, the issue might not bother someone or maybe someone is interested in buying it and sending it back to Craig Brown for service.

This video documents how you can get the lock to fail when you spine whack it on your knee (also described above). I significantly lowered my price based on full disclosure of this issue.
