Bought this off a fella a while back that did not disclose some issues to me...
It appears the kick has been filed back a bit on the main and the tip of the blade is rapping on the backliner (you can also see where it sits a bit low). Not by much, but you can kind of see it in one of the photos. One good reprofile or several light sharpenings would eventually correct the issue. There is also some very slight markings on the inner brass liners, supposedly where a rectification may have been attempted (putting something in the channel to correct for the overtravel present after the kick was overground).
The secondaries and scales are gorgeous, and the bolsters very fair with some light scuffing. Comes w/ tube and wax paper.
Either way, it's still a very nice knife, but I bought this one more as a collectable than a carry piece, so I would like to pass it along at what I believe to be a very fair price of $pf shipped ConUS.
