Specs:

Blade
O1
3/16" thick
4 3/4" long
1 1/4" tall

Handle (eye-balling with ruler)
Black linen micarta
Brass pins and lanyard tube.
5" long
7/8" thick handle at butt flare
5/8" thick handle at center pins
3/4" thick at index finger ridge
5/8" thick again at pins closest to blade

The sheath is absolutely superb. Incredible work by mbhanzo (Mike of Grindstone Cutlery); I have never experienced better kydex. I am selling the knife and kydex sheath as set but will include the leather sheath that came with the knife (dangler). More on the kydex sheath here. I actually planned on only sending one of my knives to mbhanzo for a sheath, but I sent this JK along as well because the stitching on the dangler portion of the provided leather sheath is loose.

I haven't used the knife, though I've taken it on two hikes. I didn't want to start in on wood and food until I was certain I would keep it. Aside from a light stropping, the edge is intact as received from John.

As seen in the pic above, there was a tiny honeycomb blemish of some sort (light surface rust or stain) on the left side of the blade near the tip (shown below). If I recall correctly, that was there when I received it from John. I just took some Flitz to it, and it's barely visible now. I didn't want to do more than Flitz since I'm selling it, but I'm sure it can be completely eliminated with a few minutes more work with something other than a polishing agent.

I am asking $190->$185->$175->$165->$160->$155->$150 shipped->SOLD (USPS w/ Delivery Confirmation) for both the knife and mbhanzo kydex sheath. The original JK leather sheath is included as well. Paypal, I'll eat fees (if you don't use "Personal Payment" option), US only. Not looking to trade at this time.

Price Drop, and original sale thread added to OP.

Unused JK Handmade knife (picked up for $120) AND incredible kydex sheath ($85) with zero wait time....
 
That's a great looking knife and I am surprised nobody has snatched it up yet.

I'd love to have it but I've been going a little too crazy with $ on knives lately.
