Hey guys,

I'm putting my Oeser Mantis Slipjoint up for sale. It’s an amazing little knife! But it’s a little too small, to make it into my EDC rotation, so need to let it go

I’m looking to get gone shipped (Canada or CONUS).

Not really looking for trades
at the moment, there are probably a few exceptions though for specific knives I'm actively looking for (see the bottom of the post for a list of those).

Info:
  • This model was just released by Jared a month or so ago. It's one of six, he has made so far
  • It’s based off of his previous Mantis model, however the size and locking mechanism is different
    • The original was a little bit larger and was a button lock
    • This smaller updated version, is a double detent slipjoint. Essentially, it locks up the same way as a normal slip joint, but it’s also a flipper. I believe Richard Rogers also uses this type of mechanism (on the symmetry, I think)

Specs:
- it’s around 3 3/4” closed and the blade is a little over 2.5” long (feel free to let me know, if you need more precise measurements)
- It’s got a beautiful hand satin finished blade
- The scales are blue richlite over grey and black G-10
- The backspacer is also black & grey
- It’s got a nice snappy flipping action

Condition:
It's in new condition, the same as when I received it from Jared (via lotto). I haven’t used, or carried it, just flipped it a little bit. It includes everything it originally came with: box, COA, hank, leather knife slip.
