This knife is MINT, from John W. Smith (member AKI). You will not see many like this one. 9 inches OAL.
Some of the extras he included are; the bolsters are polished Odin's Eye damasteel stainless Damascus, liners are hand rubbed finish with the interior of them jeweled, the spacer is polished brown canvas micarta and the blade steel is S30V at 58RC. And of course the stag that I gave to John for the knife at Blade 2003. Which for the record was hand picked for me by P. J. Tomes.
My original thought on receiving this knife.
I've known John for a couple of years, from Chat, Blade Show and ECCKS, but I have to admit I've only handled a couple of his knives. John sells out so quick at shows it's hard to get your hands on one. IMO John's work is about as good as it gets. I couldn't be prouder or happier to own this knife.
Price is $750, >>> $700 checks or money order only, sorry No Paypal amd trades wont help.
