I'm absolutely smitten with this knife.
Everything about it.
Ergos are perfect, M390 steel is great, detent is stronger than a typical Hinderer so it flips perfectly, it opens and closes smooth as glass, and... NO HINDERER CHOIL!
I love it so much I just bought a second just like it.
Listed this one for sale in the exchange here yesterday.
Have been trying to sell it locally also, with no luck.
Everybody I know is broke :D
Anybody have any leads for me on someone who may be interested?
I appreciate you guys taking it easy on me.
The first quote I got for replacing the barrel was very expensive. I was quite disheartened.
The second quote I got was about 1/3 the first one.
Still stings, but much, much less.
Well, I started this thread by conceding that I am an idiot.
Now my feelings toward myself are a lot more harsh.
Took it to Duffy's and they said I'll need a new barrel.
I'm very disappointed in myself.
I'm going to go sit in the corner for a while... :(
