This is a special one - an absolutely gorgeous Fontenille-Pataud Sperone in some of the nicest ram's horn I've ever seen. and the guillochage is lovely too. The steel is RWL34 (which is the upgraded steel they offer as a custom option).
The Sperone is the lockback version of the classic Corsican Vendetta. The squiggly think on the mouche is an outline of Corsica, and the guy on the sheath is the symbol of Corsica.
The knife's never been cut or carried, except the tang stamp looks like it was somewhat rubbed away. I received it like this from the factory, so I can only assume this happened during assembly/testing.
I do not have the box any more, but I do have the basic included black leather sheath.
Anyway, I would like to see you want to offer for this. I am into interesting traditionals, or larger (> 3.5") modern folders.
I look forward to trading with you! But please understand that if you have little/no feedback or problematic feedback, I will ask that you send yours first.
