Tuffknives Tanic - TRADED No trades at this time unless we're talking Hoback with inlays
This is one of the tanic's that Geoff made for bladehq. The knife features sculpted scales with a cratered pattern. The pocket clip, pivot, and back-spacer also feature the crater pattern. The blade also extends the pattern out by the thumb rest. The blade still has the makers edge and hasn't been used to cut anything more than a few boxes, envelopes, and papers. The knife has been carried a good amount and there is some pocket wear up by the pivot, specifically on the lock side, (this is pictured). The action is pretty darn snappy. In reference to the lockup, it does appear to be a tad later than most, but Geoff explains in his video on the knife that the actual contact point is not quite as late and is still at about 50% (which you can see if you look down inside the knife from the top). Here is a link to his vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG2KVGz3HUs

Full Disclosure: Other than the wear around the pivot from being in the pocket, the knife does have a small small amount of vertical flex when locked open. It's hard to notice but if you look for it (aka grab the blade and yank up and down), you will feel it. It is not enough to visibly show on video but I want to make sure you know 100% about the knife.
