The scratches are hard to detect without the flash and close up. I did not know the scratches were there until I noticed in the flash photo.
So I wanted to make sure to point it out. I see no other imperfections on the knife. The 390 SOCP was the first folding knife in the SOCP Family. Designed by Greg Thompson as a first-option, battle-blade that complimented the other fixed blade options of the SOCP family.This large, yet thin, knife incorporates many features making it ideal for on or off-duty carry. The rapid deployment ring and tip-down carry enhance the speed at which this knife can be deployed from concealment and the smooth handle dimples allow for fast transition in your hand.
