MachineWise Sonora #731, stonewashed 20CV blade, 'pearl'-anodized diamond-checkered titanium frame, brass bolster. NIB. SOLD $625 SOLD (Retail: $750).
The 'pearl' anodizing is kind of a pinkish gold, looks like a sunrise or sunset. Very nice, but also a matter of taste.
Why, Sam, are you letting this one go, given your recent glowing review of the Sonora? Well, because I got carried away and bought three. I have one for carry, and I wanted a backup. This one came up in a second restock, even though it was not perhaps my first aesthetic choice, so I snagged it. But then they restocked again, and I got a backup that was more aesthetically to my taste.

Under no circumstances will I e-mail you requesting payment without a conversation on the forum. I do not request payment by Zelle, PayPal F&F, CashApp, or Venmo (I do accept payment by these methods but will never ask for it).
Terms and Conditions
PayPal G&S preferred. Most other payment options acceptable.
I ship promptly, either same or next day depending on time of payment, by USPS Priority Mail, fully insured, and with signature confirmation required on delivery upon buyer request or if the insured value is >$500 per USPS policy. I will promptly notify buyer of any delay in shipping. Contact me prior to payment for other shipping options.
I request buyer reply promptly after receipt to confirm delivery and satisfaction. If I have not heard from you within three days of delivery confirmation, I will consider the sale final. No returns for buyer's remorse. I make careful effort to accurately describe and photograph knives I sell or trade, but if you feel that the knife was not accurately described, please contact me within three days of receipt to arrange return and refund and send me a picture of the defect.
I'll leave positive feedback for any buyer who posts in the sale thread, pays reasonably promptly and promptly notifies me when they receive the knife.
International Buyers
Contact me prior to sending payment to verify payment and shipping plans. Any international buyer assumes full responsibility for the knife once shipped - I will accurately describe it on a customs declaration in terms of description and sale value (not label it a 'camping or gardening tool' or mark the value to be minimal or 'gift') and international buyers assume all risk of customs confiscation or shipping loss. For international buyers using mail forwarding services from the U.S., my responsibility ends once the knife has been received by your mail forwarding service.
