TRADED
Hi all.
Received this directly from Joe. Great knife but it just isn't singing to me. Was hoping to sell it but not many bites so I'm up for a trade. Big knife but a great slim pocket friendly profile (about the same as a Sebby). I've never carried or used it. Looking for newer Spyderco models (Bowie, Chubby, Rubicon, K2, etc.), Mid techs, newer ZT'z or whatever. Multiples are fine (no budget blades please) and cash can go either way. Thanks.
Here's a link to my sales thread for pics:

Steel- CPM154 x .125
Closed- 5 inches
Open- 9 inches
Blade- 4 inches
Grind- flat ground with drawn swedges, small fullers, and jimping on spine. Convex polished scary sharp edge
HT- in house with dry ice cryo to a tested 59-60 rc
Finish- hand sanded, bead blasted and stone washed
Frame- .150 titanium with mill work
Finish- hand sanded, bead blasted and stone washed
Pivot- 3/16 anodized titanium
Clip- Anodized titanium machined clip set up for tip up right hand carry
stop pin- 1/8 heat treated stainless
Hardware- stainless
I sent the knife back to Joe to round out the pocket clip a bit and for some minor adjustments. Joe's a great guy - Just got it back and it's very nice. Full disclosure: You can muscle a tiny bit of vertical up and down but it locks up safely and no side to side.
