I purchased both knives direct from James Terrio < 2 months ago , I tested the D2 knife and reported that on this forum. The A. knife was never used. The D2 knife EXCEEDED all expectations. I dropped original paid price by $25 on each one. Please direct any question or comment to either my PM or email rodney.black@att.net. First to post " I will take it" followed by PM or email gets the knife of their choice. I only accept paypal goods and services, and I pay ALL fees and shipping to your location, CONUSA ONLY !!! Prior to this sale, I discussed my intentions with Mr. Terrio. My plans are to fund another knife James makes. These knives are truly amazing, and imo should bring far more.
A. Ultranaut Prototype...
Inspired by the famous Randall "Astro" design, this full-tang, FFG stonewashed knife is made of 3/16" Elmax at 58Rc. Non-tapered 5.75" blade, 10.5" overall. The permanently-attached guard is 303SS, with two holes for tying it to a pole for use as a spear. The black G10 scales are removable, and a handmade, heat-treated THKey that fits the bolts is included. The spine is crisp and square all the way to the tip. I'm offering this prototype at a discount, because it shows scratches and wear from my testing... full warranty coverage regarding materials/durabilty is still in place.
The sturdy tan nylon ambidextrous sheath is branded Remington... if memory serves, it was made in Italy. It has a hard plastic insert for safety, a big front pocket and several ways to carry/tie it down. $225.00

Just a bit smaller, slimmer and lighter than a Growl, this GP knife is easy to carry and fun to use. 5/32" thick D2 tool steel @ 58Rc with a FFG gives it very good wear-resistance with an aggressive cutting edge. The spine is crisp for the first 2", gently crowned thereafter. Tapered 5" blade, 9.5" overall. Machine satin finish, full-thickness tang, textured black G10 scales with ruby red G10 liners. Handmade ambidextrous leather sheath. Amazing hard working knife. Starts sharp and finishes just as sharp, you will be very happy with this work of art. Great function and class all over... $ 175.00
