Hi folks,
I have this very nice piece sitting disused in a drawer. I think it is time to pass it along to someone who will put it to good use. The knife has never been carried, only admired a couple of times. It includes the original velvet box and papers.
There is one flaw that I should point out and that is a crack in the ivory on one side. The knife arrived to me new from a an authorized dealer in this condition. The crack was glued and it looks to be very stable, but it is somewhat of a cosmetic flaw. I have spoken to Case and they have agreed to fix it, but mailing an expensive knife such as this across a border and back can be problematic. I have tried to capture the crack in my photos. Please let me know if you would like to see high resolution originals.
I don't have anything particular in mind, but I would prefer to trade this piece for one of equivalent value and not for a handful of less expensive knives. Let me know what you've got!
Thanks,
Mike
