The postman delivered a new EDC today .. SWEET !!!
However .. must be modded first. Going to lose those finger guards real quick.
Need to loosen up the lever also. Slightly too hard to lift up from the closed position. I intend to remove the lever & radius the appropriate surface.
Will make a nice addition to the EDC club.
