Knife is $OLD. Thanks.
Greetings all,
Offered for sale is a sweet self-lock folder by ABS Master Smith Bailey Bradshaw. If you're familiar with his work, you know the quality you're getting.
The specs on this piece are as follows:
Blade: 2 3/4" of CPM 154 with a hand-rubbed satin finish. Closed length, 3 1/2".
Frame: Heat treated 416 stainless steel.
Inlay: Gorgeous bark elephant ivory - rich in character.
And here it is:
For reference, here is Bailey's original post on the knife:

Three things to note:
One is that this was a knife briefly carried and lightly used by Bailey.
Two is that Bailey represented (and I can confirm) that the knife shows NO signs of use or wear.
Three is that Bailey's price for a similar knife back in 2007 was $850. Not sure what it is today, but I'd feel safe in guessing that the price - and the wait - are higher and longer.
Which brings us to why this is such a great deal. This knife is offered - in essentially as-new condition - for US$OLD! inclusive of Paypal (vastly preferred) and shipping to your door (Canada and US only - international shipping at cost, and it is pricey).
As always, I'm happy to answer any questions, but please understand that the first "I'll take it." by e-mail or PM will get this fine piece of custom cutlery at a bargain price.
