"Porto Spans"

Hello folks,
I've had several requests to do a run of my Porto Spans, so here they are.
The Porto Span is a tool for adjusting the pivot tension on a Strider knife. It is made from 316 series Stainless Steel and features both the spanner for the large Strider knives (NOT FOR THE PT MODEL) as well as an 1/8 hex wrench. The two halves screw together using a 1/4-28 thread with an "O" ring at the bottom of the thread to keep debris out. Dimensions are 3/8 thick x 5/8 wide x 1 & 3/8 long.

 ATTENTION PLEASE:
If  you have not adjusted the pivot on your Strider knife before, I suggest that you hold the end of the knife with the pivot pin in very hot if not boiling water for a minute to loosen any thread lock (Loctite) that the good folks at Strider may have applied.
USA price is $80.00.
Other worldly destinations, your price is $97.00.
Pay Pal fees, & Shipping are inclusive.
A USPS Money Order is acceptable as well.
Please send an Email to jordanmetalart@gmail.com if you'd care to make a purchase.
Thanks for dropping by,
Kenn

Hello,
Well being New England we're having some Winter weather here.

There will be 8 possibly 9 available (one keeps calling my name).
2 are "Lefy" models.
My apologies for the let down.
Now it's time for me to climb on my Wheeler & plow the driveway.

Hey there all,
I managed to finish up all the remaining blades for the Nebuli SE's this week.
I'm headed to the shop in the AM to assemble like a mad man;)
So, be on the lookout late Saturday, and again on Sunday for some offerings.

I'm quite pleased with the results.
Once it's installed under the dash, you'll only see the lower section.
