This Meaner Street started it's life as a muddy meaner, then Ban got his hands on it and full distal tapered the blade, polished the blade, butt and spine, and put a wicked flat grind edge on it.
The finger-side of the handle still has coating, so I am guessing Ban also left the coating under the scales, which is good because you'll never have to wonder if it's growing rust.
I bought it from Ban, beat it, then sent it to Simon Frez-Albrecht who ground off the butt and convexed the edge.
Now here it is. The blade has scratches and was a little dirty when I took the pics (sorry). The edge is in perfect shape, however - no dings or dents or whatnot. It's just a little dirty and scratched.
Comes with a kydex sheath that fits it perfectly - tight hold on the scales but with a quick and quiet draw that doesn't rub on the blade. It's a perfect fit - I think it was made for the knife after Ban's initial modifications but I don't know who made it.
Naturally this knife is an excellent utility blade and would work well as a self-defense tool as you can hide it pretty much anywhere yet it has enough blade to do some real damage.
Not sure what this should go for, so I'll say SPF including CONUS shipping and paypal fee. I will also take a postal MO.
Only trades I will consider at this time is for a leather AK sheath (you pay the difference) or for a 3B2 (I pay the difference).
Thank you!
