WTS or WTT: Scrawny Lumberjack Vulture – Zapp Z-12 Ultra – Used sv $old tv: $275

[JearBeatus48]

Up for sale is a Scrawny Lumberjack Vulture in Zapp Z-12 Ultra (very similar to CPM-10V). I am the second owner. Knife is used but in good condition overall.

Specs:

• Blade steel: Zapp Z-12 Ultra (10V-like)
• Blade length: ~3”
• Overall length: ~7”
• Grind: Thin behind the edge, very good slicer

Condition & Notes:

• Blade has some staining from a previous owner’s hunt
• Has not been sharpened, only stropped
• Plunge lines are clean and well done
• Fit and finish is good enough
• Pins are slightly proud
• There is minor separation between tang and scales in one small spot (purely cosmetic from what I can tell)

Sheath:

• Kydex sheath has good retention
• However, the sheath itself is not great
  • Slight rattle
  • Very difficult to unsheath and resheath, especially one-handed
  • Unsure about long-term durability of the kydex due to how it indexes on the blade

Ergonomics:

• Handle is best suited for small to medium hands
• I wear medium–large gloves, and the ergonomics are pretty bad for my hands, which is the main reason for selling

Summary:

Great steel, thin grind, and a capable cutter, but the handle size and sheath issues make it a miss for me. Open to trades pm me with offers! Lishen, primitive bear knives, niche, very good knife co, AA forge, volunteer knife and tool, Carothers, and others!
