I know that a lot of the BladeForums community knows of Mike Maniord and his reputation, but I happen to have one of his WSK's that were actually made and delivered. I recently purchased this off of someone else and It was used and used hard. I believe what used to be the parkerized finish was almost completely worn off. The edge was destroyed. Also I believe this was a product of his earlier work as the grinds where pretty uneven and a bit rough.
I bought it in hopes of restoring it a bit because I liked the looks of it, but found that it was a bit out of the reach of my skill set. So I sent it to Bryan Breeden at Breeden Knives and had him redo the grinds and put a usable edge on it. It's back and hair-popping sharp.
While Bryan did a great job and it's more than usable I bought another knife off of another forum member and overspent, then bought a Startac Umnumzaan on top of that
. Now I'm trying to recoup some of my losses and add some funds back to the ol' Paypal account.
This will make a great user for someone.
Looking to get $250 plus $12 for shipping for this. Paypal is preferred method of payment
Specs are as follows:
The steel is 01 tool steel and is 3/16" (0.1875") thick
Scales are Brown Canvas Micarta
Blade length is 6 3/4"
Cutting edge is 6 1/2"
Saw back teeth are 2 1/2"
Overall length is 11 1/4"
Comes with custom kydex and leather sheath with spyderco G clip.
I'll be on standby to answer any questions to the best of my ability
This is a link to the pictures of when I received it:

This is what it looks like now:
Sorry for the bad photography but more pics are available upon request. What appears to be black on the edge is actually reflection. I also have the before and after videos that Bryan sent me that I can pm to anyone interested. I apologize if I'm missing something as this is my first exchange post.
Thanks for looking.
