Not used or carried. Cleaned and running on ultralight nano oil; no loctite used in re-assembly. Secondary detent has been tuned to allow for smooth action similar to my sage 6\'s (it doesn\'t drop shut, but hydrallically glides shut). Listed as used because I\'m selling from my personal collection; I\'m not a dealer (nor are the vast majority of sellers on ebay claiming to have \'new\' knives. If they\'re not an authorized distributor, it isn\'t NEW). As such this is a pre-owned item and is not guaranteed to be pristine. Please zoom in on photos to fully assess condition for yourself. To my eye, most notable signs of handling are the microscratches on the button, shown in the magnified photos.
Hailed as a \"gem\" by famous knife reviewer Nick Shabazz, I have to agree. While my collection of these has tapered some, at one time I owned 20 or so various models of these mini slim pickins. They\'re stunning knifes with a timeless aesthetic that are somehow beefy yet elegant at the same time. This micarta and bronze variant is especially classic in its appearance. Snag this rare find before someone else does!
The Mini Slim Pickins is the second in-house design to come from Alliance Designs. When they first set out to create the original Slim Pickins in 2018, their goal was to build a beautiful, well-made and functional folding knife that was also satisfying to fidget with.
This latest reiteration still checks all those boxes, with an added dash of innovation. This bolstered version of the Mini is paired with 2 handsomely contoured scales of OG Green Micarta, solid Bronze Pivot Collars and a brand new auxiliary detent which holds the blade in the closed position even while the buttonlock is depressed. This not only improves the action, but also reduces the chance of accidental deployment.
The blade features a deep hollow grind in ELMAX, for its impressive durability, high compressive strength, and superior corrosion resistance.
