A surprise in the mail - Large Regular with Jimping on handle

[lisantica]

I purchased a used large regular, knowing it wouldn't be mint, but didn't know it was altered. I kept wondering why does the spine feel different?
Then I realized none of my other Sebbies have the jimping....must have been a pimp job by someone.
I'll keep it a while then possibly sell it, but here it is:

not the worst pimp job but thats why i always ask for pics. Still looks cool though.

Would be a surprise!

As mentioned doesnt look too bad though, congrats on the new acquisition!

 

[So-Lo]

Looks like the work is clean, I know a forum member here did one like it, if not that very one.

 

[Haze]

Yea, I'm pretty sure I have seen that knife before too. It's not something I would do but it doesn't look too bad.

 

[Tarponfly49]

Looks like nice work, but I have to admit, I'd be a little peeved. You'd think that would be something that would be mentioned....

 

[frontline29]

Still a nice knife. But it was definitely owned by a nuttin fancy fan.

I've seen that one forsale before.

If that detail wasn't mentioned in the description of the item then that's technically a breach of forum rules (assuming it was purchased either here or on the USN). I'd be more than a little peeved purely due to the fact such work voids the warranty. It may not look bad, but you're out of luck when it comes servicing that thing now.

I didn't do it.

If I would have, there'd be a whole lot more grooving goin on

 

[lisantica]

I put it up in the sale area, it's going to bug me, just not my cup of tea.

 

[Matthewd]

catch and release

 

[JNewell]

Was that not disclosed by the seller???

I didn't know about the jimping.

 

[Matthewd]

lol - I don't know what that is, but it is not jimping
Why would someone ruin such a beautiful knife

 

[Mike V]

I don't like it.
