Most You've Paid For A Folder.

Come on tell us we won't tell your wife Lol.

Ah well, here's some pics. Spent $350 on it last week. It's a stunning piece...and contrary to populair belief....it DOES cut better than a production slipjoint:

More than a few thousand and it sold for a good bit more after I kept it for about 12 years.

Now I am not a rich man. I drive a 97 Buick and live a simple life (other than modding this at times crazy forum, a full time job and a business with 10 employees and two locations), but I like knives and most of the folks who make them. I also enjoy my older and cheap knives too.
 
Nearly $200 for this little blue baby

I'm income-challenged and I'm long out of the habit of buying expensive knives but I do have interest in a ZT 0560 and M390 Benchmades. Because of my financial problems I will have to do some trading to get there.
 
Is that a fleam for bleeding horses and if it is, wasn't that practice discredited?
Yes. It was a common blade found of the sportsman or horsemans knife of the 1800's. This knife is based on a Geo. Wostenholm and Son, pattern 210.

Are you a horseman or just liked the knife? It is beautiful.
 
Any day not William Zermeno will finish my order, and i'll have paid 335 for an Azrael. Until then, $85 for my JYDII cp is the most i've paid
 
Peter R Rapture $500
Jake Hoback War Horse also $500/$525 I can't really remember
