Hi guys. I have a unique one up for sale today. This is a Strider PT CC in black G10 with a tritium tube inlaid in the blade spine. I understand this to have been a very limited edition. It has the newer PT 3-pin pivot on both sides. It is extremely sharp with what appears to be the original edge. There are some scratches on the blade, but otherwise the knife shows little wear. The action is extremely smooth and centering is perfect.
I do want to disclose a few issues with the knife. First, it has the slightest bit of up and down blade play if opened with a middle finger flick (due to no pressure on lockbar I think.) I have had this on another Strider I owned and it is minor, and may go away as the lock wears in more, as the lockup is currently fairly early for a Strider. Most of the others I have owned have eventually worn in to have pretty late lockup.
Additionally, there are 4 tiny black spots on the lock side of the blade. One is right above the grind, and the other 3 are down closer to the edge. I cannot feel them, and I do not believe they are rust or pitting. I did try to remove them with some Flitz to no avail. This, again, makes me believe it is not any kind of corrosion, but rather some imperfections in the steel or heat treat. They are very hard to see and obviously do not affect function, but they are there.
Considering all issues I am asking $300 shipped/all-in for this very rare piece. Lanyard and bead are included if you want them. I also have a little leather sheath I will throw in that fits the knife well, it was made by Haddon Leather from Instagram. No trades at this time other than ZT0392BLUBOWIE for which I'd add cash on my end. Please send PM or email to mbplitt@gmail.com. Thank you!
