If you have never heard of Al Foster, at least look at these images of his work - he has been making knives full time for over 25 years, doesn't go to shows, just sells ALL his knives to customers who keep coming back for more. As I understand it, most of his customers use his knives, but they are so superbly made, it's always been hard for me to imagine them as user knives. He puts a mirror finish on a blade that is second to none. This knife is the "Marra's Choice" model, named after his wife. This one was put into a safe the day after purchase, only to see the light of day 4 weeks ago. Jim Frey (Wild Woods) supplied the stabilized rhododendron burlwood (Wild Woods) for this knife.


PRICE: $300 plus $10 shipping in CONUS. Paypal or money order. Paypal add $9.

This is such a great knife - it is easily worth the money. I will gladly refund all money but shipping if someone is dissatisfied, for any reason, if returned within 3 days.

First to reply in the thread "I'll take it" or email me at rbetznerr@sbcglobal.net gets it.
 
Here is an image of the sheath. Pretty much just a user sheath, but it protects the knife well if you are of the mind of carrying. Anything that looks like a mark on the blade actually isn't, just a poor image.
 
You can definitely see the Clyde Fischer influence in there. Beautiful knife. Wish I could take it but this payday goes to rent. :grumpy:

I had REALLY not planned on dropping the price at all, but it goes to Ebay next shot, that'll probably cost $30 if it sells, so make the price $345 shipped in the CONUS, payable my money order or Paypal (Paypal add 1/2 fees - $5).
