I have the following for sale.
Tidioute 13 Split Back Whittler - Muslin Micarta (133317 - Store Model - "S" stamped on tang of pen blade). This was recently purchased from a GEC distributor. It has not been carried and was only used to test cut paper. The blades have the original, sharp factory edges. There is a very slight, very small rub mark on one side of the sheepsfoot main. The pull on the sheepsfoot main is about a 5 to 6 and the pulls on the pen blades are around a 5. All blades have good W&T with excellent snap and there is no discernable side blade play in any of the blades. The joints have been flushed with mineral oil.
GEC cut an opening notch in either side to access the nicks for the pen blades. They did a great job and this factory modification makes opening the blades a bit easier. I have seen no other GEC 13 Whittler with this feature. This is a factory modification that makes this 13 totally unique (as far as I know). This is the only thing I can see that would make this one a Store Model.
Each of the pen blades has a very slight indentation in the edge where it contacts the back spring on closing (these are so small that it was difficult to get a good pic of them). This is very minimal (and not uncommon on some GECs) and should go away after the first sharpening. This would make a great user/EDC knife. Comes with tube and paper. Please see pics below.
This is an awesome knife and the only reason I'm offering it for sale is that I prefer my 13 Speaker Jack.
Price - $old
The first "I'll take it" followed up by rapid payment (within 1 hour) will get the knife. Payment through PayPal, I'll cover the fees and shipping (USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Box) to CONUS addresses only. I will not ship to NYC addresses. Must be at least 18 years old and in compliance with all state and local laws to purchase this knife. I reserve the right to sell to whoever I would like.
Please PM me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
