SOLD to shkbly

Great Eastern Cutlery Tidioute #73 Scout, used but in great condition, $50.

I just acquired this one, and while it's a great knife, it won't get any carry time. I hate to let it go, but I have a few others on my list, and since Scouting, camping and hiking seasons are coming, I figured I'd offer it up and see if someone else might like to check out a user in almost new condition.

Made in 2007; the bolster is numbered on the mark side, #072. Chocolate bone scales - on the pile side, there is a small section chipped off just above the main rivet; it shows up in the bottom pic. Blades are carbon steel, and the etches are still clear. There is a small dark rust spot near the etch on the main blade, I did my best get it in the pic. There are also some dark spots on the edges; not many, and they'll be gone with the first sharpening (since I won't use it, I'll let the next owner decide how he/she would like to remove them). Both blades have half stops, and really strong pulls, in the range of 8.5-9. No need for a lock on this one, that's for sure.

I have the tube, but no paperwork.

The GEC #73 is still available, for now.

martineden - I got your email, and I'd rather keep this to shipping in the U.S. (I've changed the OP to reflect this.) Also, I'm not set up to take PayPal, hence the money-order-only stipulation.

Thanks -

I'm in the middle of a big project right now.

I have another member who PM'd first, then Shkbly, then gun man. I'll have an answer in the next hour or two.
