Are you the original owner? Any shrinkage, chips. or cracks in the scales? Also, what steel please?

 

[Jason Richmond]

I am the original owner. Steel is 1084 with a hand rubbed finish. Waterbuck horn is good with no shrinkage or cracks. Very smooth fit and finish between the steel and horn.

Holy smokes, that's an early piece. I still stand by my warranty no matter that the knife is WAY old.... for me. Feel free to check my history, I'm good with 1084... and I still am. This piece right now would be at least $100..00 more.

Also, I just came across this doing a random search on my name... I'm not getting anything from this aside from hoping someone will grab this knife and use it!
