A-rating, BNIB. I purchased this from USA Made Blades last week but I snagged a Battle Black Wharnie and would rather keep that one. I've opened and closed it a handful of times and put it right back in the box. Smooth action, nice detent, excellent edge. Comes with all original packing & COA.
Zieba S5 Mini "Sex Pig" (C)

C-rating for sharpening on my wicked edge and light use. This was my first raffle win and the start of a love/hate relationship with the emotional roller-coaster that KnifeRaffle is. It has been sharpened on a wicked edge because the factory edge was terribly uneven and really not very sharp. When setting the angle on the sharpener, I found that the factory edge was over 35 dps. I managed to get it down to like 25 dps and straightened out the seconday bevel significantly. It's very sharp, even after light use over a few years. This blade steal is HARD. I completely wore down a 400/600 grit stone set before I finished it. Has been sharpened up to 800 grit, and lightly stropped a few times. Was part of my regular rotation and has seen some light use.
This knife has an unusual theme but is extremely well made. The "blue denim" finish shows some snails on the scales and clip. This finish is great - it's like a blue/purple but any areas that show wear are a golden color. Will only look better over time IMO. This one has a jeweled ‘sex pig’ spacer with “GOT BACON?” engraved on the inside of the spacer. The ceramic detent on these S5 mini models is perfectly dialed in and the blade flips out like a rocket. I've never been able to get it to fail to deply, feels like a really beefy Skaha. Rock-solid lockup, centering a hair towards the show side, and smooth closing action on the caged ceramic bearings. The knife will come in the Zieba hard case with the red Zieba cloth and signed COA.
Trade interests: QC Thumbstud Drift Knurled/Stonewash, Protech Strider PT Knurled, Non-nude Haptic, NCC Knives Milled BBM, Combat Troodon Tanto or Tanto Full Serrations with Apocalyptic finish, Troodon Tanto Full Serrations with Apocalyptic finish, high-end customs or midtechs. I'm picky but will consider anything. Not interested in Spyderco/Benchmade/ZT/TRM, etc. and will add or take cash if needed.
