[redsquid2]

Steel: A2
Heat Treat: Paul Bos, for 60 R.C.
Handle: Natural Ebony, Stainless Steel Pins, G-Flex Epoxy
Finish: Mixture of five parts beeswax, one part paraffin wax, and one part 3-in-1 Oil, which I melt into the wood, and hand burnish.

Tip to Handle: 3 1/2"
Cutting Edge: 3 1/8"

This one has a few imperfections, so don't expect it to be spectacularly perfect. I have done my best to capture everything in the pictures: Small scratches here and there, and some of the dark left from heat treat, at the plunge lines.

I prefer paypal, and my address is seniorof81@yahoo.com
First unconditional "I'll take it" gets it.

In this next picture, it may look like scuffs right near the spine. That is just Sno-seal smudged on there. I wiped it off. Those other areas are sanding mistakes.

Nice knife... there's so much more going for it then the minor imperfections you point out. :thumb up: Sweet EDC for someone at a great price. Are you 81 as your email address alludes to? If so this could be one of the best knives ever made by an 81 year old....

I'm only 51. When I was in high school, kids used to spray paint water towers with things like "SR 81" or "Seniors of 81" as a way of "representing" their graduating class. That's where I got the email address "seniorof81@yahoo.com"

Our unofficial class cheer was: "We have sex! We have fun! We are the seniors of eighty- one!"

When I first read the title, thought you were talking to me. J/k. Serious
, the knife looks like a great edc & those little imperfections don't take away from using it so no big deal. Wish I had funds, but wife & I had an opportunity to go out this past weekend & me "extra" money is gone.....as if extra money is too common. Nice, keep it up

Looks like a fine knife, I would be proud to own . Great size. Wish I had more knife money. I would be all over it.
