Protech Malibu – Blue 5201 Reverse Tanto

Trying to stay with my "one in / one out" rule, so I'm offering this Protech Malibu for sale. The "one in - one out" is getting VERY tough to enforce in my 12 knife collection, as every one I have is a gem (to me at least). This Protech Malibu is a certified gem, as well, and the only reason it's not making the cut as a keeper is that it bugs me that I got impatient and overpaid a good bit for it when the hype cycle for this knife was its highest and supply was probably at its lowest. So, that's always in the back of my mind.
Anyway, I'm the second owner and bought it as LNIB a few months ago. Throughout all this time, I've been homebound with a broken leg, so I haven't carried it outside or used it, except to fidget with (probably the best fidget knife ever) and open a few letters. It has its original, sharp factory edge.
The only cosmetic imperfections that I can see are a few shallow scuffs on the clip. Blade is perfectly centered, and the action is to die for. I have noticed a miniscule bit of vertical blade play in locked position, which I read (somewhere....can't remember) can occur with these button lock knives. Not a big deal to me, but wanted to make sure it was noted.
I'm asking SOLD, PayPal G&S with USPS Priority shipping to CONUS only. As I mentioned, I overpaid a good bit for this, but I'll take the bath on this now, and hopefully somebody else can grab this very cool knife at a semi-reasonable price with no buyer's remorse. If Protech drops more of these, maybe I'll get lucky and grab one at retail price when I get a notification and before they sell out within a minute or two.
