I'd like to know where you bought your microscope.

ESEE is for using, not for collecting.

First time you sharpen it that will be gone.

This. You have a great knife there. You are fine.

Thanks, that's true. But here in China, as an post graduate, my monthly income is only $250, and the retail price of ESEE-5 (which has to be smuggled into the country) is equal to that, and ESEE knives are not that easy to find here. They'd rather sell either higher end knives like Chris Reeve, Microtech, etc. for more profit, or lower end ones which are made in China to reduce the risk getting caught by cops. Thus this knife isn't easy to get for me, and i decide to keep it in my BoB as a prybar backup, and my main knife is CS Bushman ( this also charges more than 3 times of that in US, about $60，unfair!! )

I didn't notice it too until one week later
