The only flaw with this knife is that the plunge line is a little coarser than normal and the plunge is cut into the lower portion of the guard due to a new batch of belts. The plunge was going to be corrected but the knife ended being sent out for laser marking with the rest of the batch and instead of regrinding and re-marking, the cost of doing so is being passed along, this knife could nearly pass as being unblemished. This is the only one I have with orange liners, I do have two others (unfortunately for me) with green liners with the same issue that I will be posting soon as well. The price reduction for this slightly blemished "B-stock" is approximately 10% below the last lowest selling prices of similar knives on bladeforums.
Please take a close look at the pictures and see for yourself and see how superficial the blemishes are, I just didn't feel right about posting the knife at full price, knowing there were some slight flaws.
