Just received my third knife from Ivan, a PARDAL. We have done several trades before and I can only say this guy is great to deal with. The knife is beautiful perfect fit and balance. This is definately in the top 5 of knives I own and have owned. If you don't have one of his blades your missing out. Ivan is #1 and no one should hesitiate to deal with him. Thanks pal.:thumbup:
