I have a custom modded Emerson mini-A100 I need to let go. It was modded by Kevin Smock a well known knife designer, builder and modder. You can see this knife in his gallery here: https://www.smockknives.com/gallery/

The knife is a great, practical EDC knife. Emerson uses 154CM steel and and the blade has an unusual conventional V grind with a chisel edge. Weird, but it works. The mini-A100 is very difficult to come by as production seems infrequent/non-existent. In my opinion it is the best EDC knife that Emerson has made.

The mods to the knife include brown canvas micarta scales and a heavy acid wash on the blade and hardware as well as the addition of phosphorous bronze pivot washers. Comes with an uninstalled Pete's thumb disc (larger disc). No box or papers included.

I am the second owner of the knife. When I got it the action was very stiff. I disassembled the knife, polished the washers, applied Reeve fluorinated grease and darkened the scales with mineral oil. The knife shows minimal signs of use, but it was carried and there are some very subtle marks on the blade and clip which were difficult to photograph and are nearly inapparent in real life. The slotted pivot screw has very subtle tool mark from my disassembly. $250 includes PP fees and shipping in the USA. Located in Portland Oregon

As requested, here's a photo of the GrayPrecision thumb disc compared to the OEM (mounted) disc. The GrayPrecision disc has never been mounted.

Price drop to $230 shipped in USA.
