Sold.
Here's one I know I'll kick myself later for parting with, but here goes:
A large regular Sebenza which was customized by Tom Mayo. I bought this one awhile back from a well-respected fellow forumite. It has sat unused since then. It is in excellent condition. I don't have paperwork or box, but the prior owner told me it was born 1/2000 which would make it BG-42 blade steel.
Some of the Tom Mayo custom touches include sharpening, custom dual thumb studs, reversed pivot and frame screws, Mayo-nizing the action, milling the lockbar to make it suitable for left or right hand users and easier to disengage the lock, and of course, the true Mayo touch of drilling holes in the frame which really make this a light carry. It's buttery smooth, very sharp, perfect lockup, no blade play, dead centered blade. It has a couple of very light handling scratches about an inch forward of the thumbstud which I tried hard to photograph. They are barely visible in the closeup provided below. This is a rare and special large Sebenza.
I've provided a lot of pics so you can satisfy yourself as to the condition, and see the custom work on it.
Price is Sold. $425 for this knife which includes USPS insured priority shipping with delivery confirmation in ConUS only. Paypal (+3.5%) or USPS money order is ok. Mutual satisfaction is a priority in all my transactions.
Please email or post here if you want it. First person expressing intent to purchase will get it.

Thanks for looking.
Note the milling in the lockbar for left or right hand opening ease, and the custom thumbstuds.
The lockup.
The light scratches about an inch forward of the thumbstud on non-lock side of blade flat. Seen as light blue vertical lines just above and to the left of center in ultra close-up photo.
Blade centering.
In hand.
If this one does not sell, I will not be too disappointed.

Congrats to the new owner though, awesome knife!
