Hey there guys!
It doesn't happen that often these days but we've got a blem blade that slipped through QC and is looking for an owner in Europe- the blade is currently located in southern germany.

As you can see int he photos it's overall a beautiful blade, but unfortunately has some grind asymmetry up near the tip. One side is much leaner and one side much thicker, with the thicker side not convexed properly.

As you can see the blade is satin finished, has a rosewood handle, no jimping, no back edge and a black western leather sheath. It is performance ground.
Price will be a 30% discount on retail with the buyer paying for shipping within Europe.

If you're interested get in touch and let's get this into your hands!
Hope everyone is having a great week :)
 
Thanks a bunch! Yes it's a really nice knife. After the DBK review the guys have been making so many of these plain jane's and the handles in particular I think are improving from all the practice :)
 
Hi Everyone,

I got it. The Blem Jane is mine and I am happy to have it :)

The issue with the slightly wonky grind is not a problem for me.

I intent to use it as it is and over the coming years the grind will even out.

The only real problem I face now is: Which one shall I use?

The one I already got or the new one?

They are both paper whittling sharp and I already know from my old one that it is just a phenomenal woods knife


I think I will just use both as much as I have time:)


Thanks Kailash Blades Kailash Blades for the easy way to a new great Knife from you guys :)

Cheers!
