***Note that this is a fully customized piece, all work done by TS Custom (the site owner). All work is very well done on this fully functional, one-of-a kind piece, and will definitely get attention!
Customizations are as follow.....
- Handle was lightly bead-blasted and coated in "Federal Standard Camo Green" PPG powdercoat.
- The glass-breaker and screws were done in a satin powdercoat, and trigger and clip were done in matte powdercoat
- The factory carbon fiber inlays (included) were replaced by laser-cut solid copper inlays, which were then deeply engraved, satin-brushed and hand-inlayed with powdercoat
- Copper inlays were added into the blade cutouts
- The blade was given a deep acid-etched 'Beskar' pattern with hidden Imperial cog, and then a high hand-polish.
**Please note that the intention was that the copper will naturally patina, but I recommend a yellow Sunshine cloth if you wish the retain the copper shine.**

Highlights
Guardian Tactical's X-Drive mechanism provides an exceptionally smooth and light thumb-slide action. Many owners consider it one of the smoothest OTF actions currently available.
The CPM MagnaMax blade offers excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
The blade uses a high hollow grind, making it a notably efficient cutter compared to many thicker-ground OTF knives.
