Hey BF letting this one go, it doesn't see a lot of pocket time. Please read carefully, there are a couple things I want buyers to know, and I am happy to provide any additional pics or videos.
I bought this here on the forums, from someone claiming the blade had not been sharpened. I'm not super fussy about the edge on knives that look clean and cut, it looked fine to me, and I eventually sold it under that same description but took the knife back after the buyer inspected the edge up close and was not happy. I agree with him, on close inspection the edge had what looked like sharpening marks, and the bevel was a bit -- and I do mean a bit -- uneven. I've read Hinderers often show tool marks etc., not sure if that was it or not. Anyway - I cleaned the edge up with an Edge Pro as best I could so as to keep it mostly as it was (I am not yet a master sharpener), and stropped it up.
In summary, if you are an edge fanatic this isn't the knife for you. I think I'm risking making a bigger deal out of this than it really is but just want to be super clear, it bothers me when buyers are not happy.
The detent hole on this one has been relieved a little, giving it a snappy detent that doesn't need any wrist and doesn't shake open without trying really hard. I'm not much of a Hinderer guy, hence the sale, but the stuff I read about wimpy detents is definitely not happening on this one. There's a slight amount of blade movement in the open-and-shut direction when the knife is closed, I imagine because of that detent relief.
Box and inspection card included.
