FS: Sal Manaro Major
3.5" Boye Dendritic Cobalt (BDC) Blade (stamped on blade tang.) Google this stuff. It is a single billet when received by the maker. Sal says "it is virtually identical to Stellite except it is a cast billet that I start out with. It has properties that normal blade steels don't have. Non magnetic, non rusting, and a toothy edge that will out cut anything I know of with regards to rope, cardboard etc."
This knife is literally brand new never used perfect. I am the second owner but bought it from a friend who has had it since it was built and sold thru KnifeCenter after they bought it off the table at NYCKS. Been in the safe the whole time. I have the original receipt in hand as well and it will ship with the knife. (I note KnifeCenter labeled it as a Bullseye, but Sal says the Major and Bullseye share the same frame but the Bullseye blade has his "Manarohead grind" which makes this a Major.) This particular knife is well documented on Sal's IG page and was made back in 2017 for the New York Custom Knife Show. He has a bunch of videos and pictures showing how he made all of this by hand. It is pure art and he is a master. All of the file work is by lathe or hand filing. NO CNC. It is not even broken in yet.
I cannot keep everything I am buying and this needs to go. This knife is one of the best made knives you will ever own. Period.
