Good luck finding one of these anywhere else. They were a limited run that sold out quick and are rarely spotted on the secondhand market. This was an impulse buy because it reminded me of the prop knife in the stupid Chevy Chase film "Spies Like Us," but the Bowie style blade has never really been my thing.

Knife is like new and comes with box and papers. Fires and retracts flawlessly with minimal effort and is a great entry-level Microtech OTF. Pocket clip has been switched to other side for left hand carry, but was rarely carried and never used aside from the usual test cut on a roll of paper towels. Bead blast S35-VN blade has original sharp factory edge. Born date of 03/2012. Pocket wear is negligible, very tiny imperfections in the black finish hear and there, most notably from where the pocket clip had contacted prior to moving. You will not even notice unless examining under a bright light. Excellent overall condition, very close to "like new."

Paid 450 for this last year, and it has held its value, but I am pricing it to move at $375, shipped (CONUS only). PayPal preferred, I reserve the right not to deal with anyone who has no feedback or a poor attitude. Only trades I'd have an interest in would be a Superhawk or a Combat Troodon with black hardware and satin or mirror polished DE blade. Thanks.

Looks like bead-blast instead of stonewashed. What's the model number on the box?

You are correct! Thanks for catching that so quickly. Model number on box is: 143-7. I believe this is the original box, I am the 2nd owner. Google search of 143-7 pulls up both the standard utility blade as well as the Bowie: http://thehollowgrind.com/store/ind...combat-troodon-se-bowie-bead-blast-plain.html Either the prior owner or the dealer wrote Bowie over the label in ballpoint.

Still available at the moment. Several people have shown interest and made offers. Still waiting to hear back from a couple.
