I acquired this knife in a trade recently, but I'm wanting to score a different custom, so this one needs to go. It looks like it is very lightly used. I have only used it to open boxes, cut some cardboard, and other such light tasks.

It comes with a COA that gives you the details, so I'll just share what the COA doesn't say. This knife has really nice action--easy to flip with thumbhole, front flipper tab, or a finger flick. The lock bar is solid and the detent is strong--this one isn't going to open in your pocket. Not quite a free dropper, but pretty close, and it does have a nice, smooth closing action. It is a really sweet knife--sort of like a chunkier, slightly lighter sebenza. The grind is very thin and slicey. The handle feels nice in hand and has no hot spots. A really nice knife for a very good price for the build quality, in my opinion.

Asking $300 shipped PPFF or $315 PPGS.

Could you post more pictures. I'd like to see it closed from the from the side so I can see what the flipper tab looks like. I'd like to see photos from the top of the spine and backspacer. And, I mean no offense by this, but I'm not getting any Small Sebenza vibes from this whatsoever, maybe the thumb cutout on the show-side scale for easier access to the lock bar, but other than that this doesn't remind me of a small Sebenza whatsoever.
Regardless, I think it looks pretty darn good and I'm very interested in buying it. I like the lines, curves, dimensions, etc. I love front flippers, especially a custom liner lock front flippers with a cpm20cv blade for $300! That sounds excellent! I'd rather have bearings than PB washers, but that's just me being selfish and greedy 😆😂🤣

No offense taken. Maybe the Sebenza comparison is off—I am mainly considering the action and size, but it isn’t really a point worth debating. The knife is what it is and I think it will hold up to its price point in value. Let me know if need other pictures.

Wow! Thank you for the photos! I love it. It looks great. I love the backspacer with the copper line/spacer down the middle. I especially love the flipper tab. I was worried it might be too tall and pointy, but I think it's the perfect size & shape. I'd love to buy that and give it a try. I have a string feeling that I'm going to love it. Sending you a DM
