ConUS only please. Priority shipping and paypal g&s included in price. I can usually ship the next day but i can't promise it. I'll let you know if it didn't.

This is a Laguiole Ancestral by En Aubrac in Beech wood from the Aubrac region of France. I bought this one from Coltelleria Collini in Italy. To be perfectly honest i was really excited to get it, and very disappointed when i opened it. It has a handful of issues with it.
-Blade it off center or possibly ground unevenly. Im pretty sure its just off center but cant say for sure. Blade doesnt touch the liners because the tang(flat part at the pivot) already touch it because of the way its made. 12C27 Sandvich steel blade.
-The tip had something funky going on with it. It wasn't completely ground in and part was missing. I sharpened it a little so it resembles one now but still not pretty to be honest.
-The pins at the pivot and butt of the handle were so jacked up and sharp it could literally cut your hand open. I filesld them down with a ceramic stone from my Spyderco Sharpmaker to make them safe and feel decent. They still stick out from the handle and look kind of crappy but better.
-I also went over some of the edges of the liner and back spacer with some ultra fine sand paper to take off the sharp corners.
-The blade also has some marks here and there from light use. I carried and used it a couple of days. And the blade has like a hazey look near the spine.

Hopefully the pics do it justice. I try to be thorough as possible with pics and description. And although im ticked off about this knife, i think someone might enjoy it. I just got unpleasantly surprised and didnt want to deal with sending back to Italy or France so figured id take a loss on it.

They go for around $200ish, i got mine for about $120(wonder why), and im asking $60 for it shipped.
Im also going to throw in a Victorinox Classic SD and Opinel No. 02(INOX) for free. The Sak is a little dirty but still really good shape. And the opinel has a small chip on the handle near the landyard hole.
