I was seeking one, and ended up with two. This one and a 12 BF version. I decided to keep the BF version.

This one came to me as NIT. I believe it. No patina, tube, paper included. I did sharpen it (its edge was not quite what I expect from my experience with GEC) to 20 deg. It now touches up perfectly on the sharp maker and has no lazy or uneven edge spots. The wharncliffe blade sat proud when I got it and would bite if finger caught that end just right. I filed the kick just a smidge and now the blade sits near perfect (slightly prouder than my stock 12 BF). It is #20 or 25 in coffee house acrylic, and a very pretty material (even though Im not crazy about acrylics). I have carried a day or two and used to cut some tape or a box, but shows no visible signs that I see.

A member here sold it to me as a favor, basically. I am only looking to get my money back and pass on to someone who may be seeking one. I don't really need to sell it, even debating not hitting submit on this thread, but I am certain I won't carry it, and it BEGS to be used. Its pull is perfect, about 5-6 (I'm no pull expert), and VERY smooth. I felt no blade play, but I also don't gorilla wrench on it to check for any. Both blades close centered. Overall, this is a great knife.

As I said, I just want to get my money back and let someone get it that will use it. 105$ and I cover fees and priority shipping to US. I will ship out of the US, but contact me to discuss costs and options first please. I am not interested in any trades in this value range at this time (and don't have the money to add to trade for what I will be looking for in the future).

I can be contacted through here via PM or email, or post your contact info here and I will contact you (if you can't PM).
