I've had this knife for a couple of years, it's never been anywhere and I don't think I've cut anything more than a few pieces of string and some chicken breasts with it. It has the obligatory Kydex scratches on the coating but otherwise the knife and sheath are in perfect nick, complete with box, IWB snap and care instructions.

RRP on this is $200 but I'll bet it can be found for a good bit less. I'm not necessarily interested in cash if someone has a good trade in mind, but I'm not looking for other production stuff except an Emerson for customisation.... so who's got £100 burning a hole in their pocket?

Cute. Very similar in style to the Nimravus I just bought, unfortunately. But a much nicer sheath!

Speaking of which - with the teklok on that, are there any spacers between the sheath and the teklok screws? I've been concerned about having anything other than a flat back to fit tekloks to (but the washers might help with that).

Buy it and find out! :D

Yes, there are two 4mm thick washers between the sheath and the teklok so the whole teklok stands away from the sheath.

The Spyderco Moran also has a kydex sheath with teklok and that also uses washers. They are 3mm or 1/8" at a guess.

What, you'd come between a man and his intended (anvil)?

Aaargh!

Thanks for the enlightenment, Roger. These would be the same washers supplied with the TekLoks I had assumed were for the FRONT of the sheath to stop the screws scraping up the rivets...

Oh well.

BTW - still need a destination for these small tek loks...
