Up for sale is a Northwood Fremont Jack in Smoke Burlap Micarta.
The previous owner forced a patina but didn't really appear used. When I received it, I also noticed the micarta's (and frankly the overall knife) F&F wasn't the best I've seen around. My intent was to make this into the user I wanted to have. The blade was flitz to decent polish. I wanted to leave the bark as much as possible, so there's still some darkness there. I refinished the handles and brought it to a nice shine that adds depth to the burlap. Not much i was able to do with the bubbles within the micarta. Smoothed out the remaining roughness in the handle. The only thing left is to put a razor edge on it (that's up to the next owner). The walk is decent and the talk is just ok, which seems common for this release.
TL;DR = I gave this knife extensive TLC to make it better.
$sold all-in, paypal G&S, shipped usps to USA.
No trades wanted at this time. First to claim "I'll take it" has dibs.
Thanks for looking.
