This is Michael Zieba's MS3, Manhattan Special, a classy gentleman's flipper. It features a razor sharp, flat ground, drop point, mirror polished and acid etched Damasteel blade. The blade runs on ceramic bearings, has a firm detent, and flips strong and fast. The contoured frame-lock handle is full titanium, with a blasted finish. Some of the inside of the frame has been hollowed out, to make it more lightweight than earlier versions, and easy to carry. The frame-lock incorporates a replaceable lockbar insert, that prevents overtravel. The backspacer is carbon fiber, and the tip-up mounted pocket clip is blasted titanium. The pivot screws and hardware are anodized blue titanium. The knife has a solid lock-up, no lock-stick, and the blade sits dead centered in the frame. Michael's fit and finish is second to none. This knife is previously owned, and all I can find is a faint rub on the frame, just below the tip of the pocket clip, that you might catch a glimpse of, on the lock side photo. The knife will come in a generic case.
Condition: Previously owned. Excellent. Never used, carried, or sharpened.
