I hate to resurrect a dead thread, but thought I'd put in my $0.02 on the subject, after being reminded of it in a thread not too far from here, and to see if anyone else ended up with one of these.
I picked one up on clearance at Knifecenter a couple years ago, and got it for $145 shipped, which seemed like a steal to me. Mine came in just a little loose in the construction, but a few seconds with the right hex bits (not Torx), and it was tight as can be, with easy flipping, good lock-up, and perfect alignment. The blade on mine was shaving sharp, with nice even grinds.
It's now my canoeing/camping knife, and sees occasional play time, while I'm sitting around the house on a weekend.
Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my purchase, and was hoping to hear that not all of these were bad as many have had experiences showing. Being a USA-Made version, I thought it was very well put together, with a lot of attention to fit and finish, plus the materials take it to another level, vs. the current and even past versions, with the possible exception being the first edition. (which didn't come with a clip, IIRC.) or whichever had the ATS-34/154CM steel.
Am I the only one who has one, and likes it? Did this end up being a sleeper? Without stating prices, has anyone made a significant profit off of these?
Anyway, I'm curious to see what other think. There's gotta be at least a few of you out there that got one.
