California Custom Knives Companion Paring Utility - Prototype (1 of 2)
Direct from Don
The blade is 1095 carbon tool steel with differential heat treatment (RC 59-60) and etched and polished surfaces -3.75 cutting edge. The handle is contoured vintage (side-cut) turquoise and black canvas Micarta with Mosaic pin. The style resonates the Full Tang Tribal Utility design aesthetic, in a compressed package, 8 OAL. It comes with Dons trademark slipsheath and paperwork, as seen in the photos.
Just as I received it - mint. I had good intentions getting this, but there is too much going on and too much money going out, so need to let it go before I get attached to it.
This was $350.00 plus shipping new. Asking $275.00 shipped (includes PP fees). Shipping only to USA (please see note below). NO TRADES.
PLEASE NOTE:
I'm a US citizen with a US address, but currently and temporarily residing in Kyoto, Japan. The item is in Kyoto and will be shipped from Kyoto...EMS with tracking (usually 4-5 days) with tracking to your door. Shipping to/from Japan is extremely efficient. I have lived on and off here for a combined total of over 7 years. And I've received and sent many items to and from the US during this time with no problems. Almost all of my feedback on the Bay has been from Japan.
