By cheap, I mean REALLY cheap. This knife sold for close to $700 on ArizonaCustomKnives a month or so ago(pic is still up there, I believe). The original buy/owner used the knife to cut up some meat and quickly wiped it off and stuck it in the leather sheath. You guessed it; permanent staining/shallow pitting to the forged 52100 blade. So, instead of it having a flawless handrubbed finish, you are left with a knife that cleaned up pretty well with Flitz, that can now be used with no regrets. Somebody skilled at handrubbing blades(the maker, perhaps) could refinish this blade pretty quickly, as the staining/pitting is really not that deep. But, for now, I'll just reduce the price ridiculously low, and let somebody else decide. HowzaboutSOLD (U.S. addresses; outside U.S., actual shipping applies) for an awesome forged 52100 integral camp knife with a 10" blade and gorgeous curly maple handle?
