TOPS Knives XcEST Delta PRE-OWNED LIKE-NEW - Black Coated Bohler N690 Blade & Black/Blue Layered G-10 Scales over Aluminum Frame - Liner Lock w/ 3.4" Blade - Black Nylon MOLLE Sheath

The TOPS XcEST Delta is beefy. With a 0.19" blade stock and 0.875" thick handle, this guy is just about as thick of a knife as you can get, especially considering it only sizes up to 7.5" overall while open. Functionality-wise, the XcEST opens with either of its dual thumb studs, pivoting extremely smooth for how big of a blade it sports. It is certainly possible to Spydie-flick or normal index-flick the knife open from the closed position. The liner lock works exceptionally well while the knife is open, ensuring the blade won't close up during use. However, this specific model does have a bit of a closed-lock-up issue, as you can fling the blade open without operating the thumb studs. This isn't really a function issue at all, but is something to keep in mind if you are looking for a BNIB knife (this is not). 

To the specifications, these guys are made with Bohler N690 steel, making this guy super corrosion resistant and easy to touch-up. It has also been coated black to add to the corrosion resistance, and is in a recurve style. The handle has a aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum frame that houses stainless steel liners and is covered by black & blue layered G-10 scales. Said scales have a divot on either side for a bow drill, as well as a reversible tip-up pocket clip. This guy comes with its original TOPS Knives black nylon ballistic sheath that can be used with MOLLE strapping. 

When it comes to condition, this guy is looking pretty great. The edge of the grind is a tad bit worn, leading me to believe that the previous owner may have used it sparingly. Other than this, there are little to no noticeable signs of wear at all. If it weren't for the less-than-perfect edge, this knife could be classified as brand new. It does not come with any kind of box or paperwork, only the knife and sheath. 

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions about this knife or anything else at all. Number: 603-986-1169. Email: thetwoloonsllc@gmail.com.
