I have had these two knives for a couple of years - they are prototype trainer models for the 710 and 910 models, and were never released to production. Consequently the only available pieces were produced during the short proto run and are all 12 years old.
Both of these trainers are technically new in box, but the boxes are a bit scuffed up and the clips on the knives have some scuffs as well from general handling. Neither have been carried or used in any training scenario, and both function exactly like their sharp counterparts. The 910T locks up smooth at about 40% (see pic) and exhibits no blade play in the open position. The 710T has some blade play, but as I have not adjusted the pivot I'm somewhat sure that this is just the standard play that is par for the course with any axis lock knife (particularly one with a loose pivot). I'd adjust the screw but am attempting to keep these as pristine as possible for the purpose of this sale.
The price for either knife is $100 including CONUS shipping and paypal. I don't know their actual value but think this is fair since the current production Griptilian trainers are around $75 new. In any case I like these a lot and would rather keep them than cut the price. However, if you have any data to suggest that my prices are not fair, PM me and we can discuss further.
Thank you!
