I have for trade a very lightly carried Guardian Tactical Helix with carbon fiber scales and a factory stonewashed blade. This knife started out with the factory DLC blade, but I thought it would look better with a stonewashed blade, so I contacted Guardian Tactical and they said send it in and we'll take care of it for you. So 2 weeks and $30 later, they returned the knife with a fairly deep stonewashed finish (see pics). Anyway, after receiving it, I carried it a few times, but decided that I'm still in love with my Southard, so in the safe it went.
Lockup is early (30%) and solid, there is absolutely no play in any direction. The knife is perfectly centered as the pictures will attest, and the flipping action is smooth as silk. If you have seen any of the videos, you will know that the blade will close under it's own weight after the lockbar is disengaged and the knife is tilted accordingly. It is really quite impressive! Lastly, the carbon fiber that G.T. uses is amongst the most attractive that I have ever seen. I cannot capture the depth of the weave in the pictures, it really only shows up outdoors in natural light. Here are the specs for the knife;
Overall Length: 9″
Blade Length: 4″
Cutting Edge: 3.42″
Blade Thickness: 0.16″
Blade Material: CPM-154
Handle Material: Carbon Fiber
Handle Length: 5.0″
Handle Thickness: 0.68″
Weight: 5.2 oz.
MADE IN THE USA
My primary trade interest is a CRK Sebenza with birth date of 6/20 or 12/20.
Other Trade Options;
BM 710 M390
Andre Thorburn Front Flipper
Andre Van Heerden Front Flipper
ZT 392 Ti w/Blue Hardware
Southard Tolk or AVO
Any Hinderer
Swamp Rat Ratmandu
BM Ritter Grip w/M390 (full size)
Also open to other options, just no tantos or serrated blades.
This list is both high and low on the value chart so $$$ can go either way obviously.
You can contact me with any questions you may have via p.m. or email me at chris(AT)vpgunwerks.com.
Now for some pictures......
Thanks for looking!
