Looks like some of you guys already found this gem, and have purchased it. Olympus do you still sell them? Are they still the great quality they were when I got mine? as I believe its a Gen 3.
I'd like to install slim grips on mine, but need the bushings, and the grips heheh
If anyone wants me to do a product review on this with some pictures, let me know, I actually carry mine almost daily, and really do love it!

, I sent you a PM. But no, I do not sell the M1911 knife any longer. The original company, Ultimate Equipment, got bought out by another company, Gunner Products maybe???. But either way, the new company sent an email to all the dealers explaining the change in leadership and also made other changes. Two of the changes that were the deciding factor for me was that they raised the dealer price on the knives and they also raised the dealer minimum order number to what I considered was a ridiculously high number. These are not knives that sell quickly. So I decided to cut my ties with them.
As far as slim grips and bushings, I do not think that will be possible. Unless the new ownership has changed the design of the knife, the Ultimate Equipment version had staked bushings that you could not remove. There'd be no way of removing the normal bushings for slim bushings without damaging the knife.
