This was an impulse buy at the Tulsa gun show yesterday. I bought it from a store from Arkansas that had a booth there. Not an authorized dealer. As far as I know the only authorized dealer in the US is African Sporting Creations.

The seller was calling it “virtually new”. The seller said he had had it for “a while”. I’m calling it used in 90%+ condition. The clip has a tiny bit of wear to it that you can see in the picture. There’s a small chip in the warthog ivory on the show-side inlay (pretty certain it didn’t come that way). There are a couple little dings in the blade that will sharpen right out. I’ve tried to highlight these in the photos. As far as I can tell it has it’s factory edge.

Other than what I’ve mentioned it’s a great little knife that is most likely legal in any jurisdiction due to it’s being a slip-joint and the <3” blade. Reason for selling: I’ve decided I want the iMamba from Arno Bernard instead.

$380 reduced to $350 shipped (what I’ve got in it and enough to cover shipping). PayPal F&F preferred. I know they’re commies but what can I say, it’s easy, no mention of knives/blades on there. Can provide more pictures. Any questions, ask away.

I know I’m new here and new to the knife game. I’m on another forum under the same username and I can provide references from past transactions on there. I can FaceTime or WhatsApp video call with anyone who’s interested.

Pics to follow..

I don’t know if it will make a difference but I’ll clarify something: I said that the seller was calling it “virtually new”, he was actually saying it was new but it was basically a display or demo knife and had been fondled a lot which is why I’m calling it used. I still think he bought it off someone.

The lanyard is a slightly different variation than what can be seen on either AB’s website or ASC’s website. I don’t know if that means anything..

The seller said he had had it “a while”. I don’t know when it was made but an email to AB can settle that I’m sure.

Lanyard follow up.. The knife is a Rinkhals. The box is for a Rinkhals. Warthog ivory inlays on the knife and the box is for a Rinkhals with Warthog ivory inlay. I can’t get the knife to fit perfectly in the box due to the lanyard.. Makes me think someone redid the lanyard.

I hope I’m not breaking the rules but THIS KNIFE IS LISTED ELSEWHERE AND I’LL HONOR TIME STAMPS. FIRST “I’LL TAKE IT” GETS IT.
