This just came in....BNIB GiantMouse Ace Biblio in Natural Canvas Micarta and M390 steel.
I'm asking $SOLD. **EDIT** Ah, hell, I'm the worst capitalist ever...price lowered so I can just barely go above breaking even.
First unequivocal "I'll take it", gets it.

I managed to snag one of these directly from GiantMouse in their limited run on Friday that sold out within minutes. It was somewhat of a consolation prize for missing a similar limited run of the red Manix 2 in 20CV from DLT Trading earlier that week (which I ended up buying anyway for a relatively reasonable price, but at a bit more profit margin than I'm looking for here). Anyway, this knife is a beauty, but not for me. Everything is perfect, fit-and-finish-wise, but I prefer a little snappier flipper detent. Nothing wrong with this one, and it flips smoothly (particularly with "light-switching"), but I think they softened it up juuust a bit to make it also deploy well with thumb or middle finger bladehole flicking.
