April Fool's Day sale!
Never used Laredo in C5, previous owner applied his idea of "stonewashed" finish to the blade. I hand=sanded the other side to 600 grit before realizing I did not spend enough time at lower grit and had factory grind marks still visible. The knife has been in storage and kept well-polished. The edge is factory but I believe the polishing may have dulled it, the clip is fairly dull and has visible scratches from stropping. All in all a nearly new blade that would look great with a patina or mirror polished by a professional who can get into the plunge (I was not able to do so.) Will ship to CONUS only at this time, don't believe double edge is legal for you Canucks- please correct me if I'm wrong! Will ship Priority and insured for amount of sale, and well-oiled. $200 via PP. Please contact via PM with any questions or for payment info. For the record, Grinder was correct in stating the C5 and SK5 Laredos handle differently, I have held both and this one is noticeably faster in hand, due to the more pronounced distal taper. Beautiful blade and sorry to see it go.
Got a new SK3 up for grabs, $30 via Paypal, will ship to CONUS ONLY. Edge has been lightly stropped to an aggressive armhair popping edge. Please PM with questions/concerns, thanks for looking!
Bark River Bravo-1, rampless with Desert Ironwood scales. Beautiful blade but needs to go due to unforeseen expenses. Never used, but has been sharpened and stropped to a hair-popping edge. Retaining strap on sheath has two nicks in it, works just fine. $190 via PP, same shipping as the Cold Steels. Smudge on blade due to stropping.
These will be posted on other forums as well so I'll be going by first-come, first-serve as always. Enjoy!
