WTT Old school Will Zermeno Saigo + CASH for Strider folder

Windex_ · Sep 17, 2012

Like the title says, here are some pictures of it.

Let me know what you got, I am NOT interested AT ALL in any production knife other than a Strider folder. I'm fine with midtechs, but I prefer customs.

Willing to add cash towards a strider.

Users are fine by me, so long as they arent abused.

Any more info on her?

I believe the blade is made of ATS34, I have a Jade G10 scale for the knife as well. If you want size specs, I can get those for you.

I would appreciate it.

OAL just a hair shy of 8.5
sharpened edge 3.5
handle 4.75

Looks nothing like the new version. How old would you bet it being?

The lock up is early as hell, the knife is as smooth as butter, it barely needs a wrist flick to get open. There are some minor rust spots on the blade. The blade is centered.

Im not entirely sure, I got it from the original owner. He said he got it from Will when he was first starting up.

Here it is with the jade scale.

I am relatively sure that that is not an azrael. I have an azrael, and that's not one.

I believe that is an early Saigo with natural colored g10 scales

here's an example of a newer one

Well hey! I've been wrong before! It came with a titanium scale, the G10 was made for the knife. Thank you for this information, I was just under the impression that he tweeked the design over the years.

No worries sir. Also, i can't find any indication that he's ever used ATS34. All of his old blades (as far as i know) were made with s30v, and i know he's only using CPM154 now.
