This is a David Sharp custom JAK in AEB-L steel. The handle and clip are darkened titanium. The backspacer is really, really old Westinghouse micarta. I bought this directly from David at the California Custom Knife Show several years back.
The knife has been sharpened by Josh of Razor Edge Knives (REK). As you can see in the photos, there is a little bit of a bump at the very base of the edge, because the steel behind the edge there is thicker than further up on the edge. I think it will become more even with use and sharpening.
There are snail trails on various portions of the handle and clip. The blade is in good condition and is quite sharp. Lockup is solid. The centering is a little off to the right.
Note well: although this knife is putatively a “flipper,” the flipping action is extremely slow and stiff. If you are handy, you might be able to take it apart, polish the washers and other internals, and get it to flip well. You could perhaps even replace the detent, although it seems pretty solid to me. In its current state, the knife is better treated as a non-flipper than a flipper, to be honest. I usually open it with two hands, or with one hand by pinching my thumb and middle finger on the blade.
I want to make sure you understand the lack of flipperyness of this knife! It should go to either someone who doesn’t mind that fact, or who is able and willing to tinker with the knife to get it to flip properly.
Comes in Spyderco zipper pouch.
Also note that I've posted this for sale on reddit's knife_swap. It will go to the first person who claims it on either post. So if you don't see an "I'll take it here" but I regretfully inform you that someone else claimed it before you, don't be mad! Thanks.
Price: $250 via PayPal friends and family. Shipping via USPS priority mail. U.S. only. This is a ridiculously low price for a custom by David Sharp. In fact, I don't think a knife of his has ever sold, or will ever sell, at such a low price.
