Well, B-minus-12-days, and I'm short of the kind of money I need to participate memorably in the festivities in Atlanta. So:
For Sale: This is a Peter Rassenti Alpha Integral Framelock. One-piece titanium frame is sculpted on both sides, as is the clip. This is a beautifully made knife, and a fancy piece of machining work. With a nice-gripping spydiehole and a firm detente like this has, the thing just flies open. Definitely the most reassuring lockup sound I've ever heard, rather like the gate on my F150 whomping shut. Not sure what he uses for bearing, but it's smooth, smooth, smooth, like a slide covered in Crisco.
Not sure, but I think this is S90. Hand-rubbed finish.
Lockup - Perfect, centered, tighter than that bank vault.
Wiggle - Not so much as a hint.
Carried - Not for an instant.
Used - Nope!
Cut - Zero!
Condition - Completely and Utterly Mint.
Yeah, I'll miss it. I'm way more of a buyer than a seller, which is why I almost never post stuff for sale, but this is my first time making it to Blade since I started collecting again a couple of years ago, so I want to make it good. This is partial therapy for me: I can never seem to part with anything I buy for my collection, which makes it really hard for a working schlump to play in the custom knife world - it's simple, if I want to check out new stuff, some things have to go! Blast it! I think there was a pre-birth mix-up somewhere - I think I was supposed to be born rich, somebody screwed up. So here I am, parting with one of my precious knives in the Exchange. Ah, well...
Price: $975 [SOLD] paypalled and shipped to CONUS. Other destinations on a case-by-case basis.
PM or email me. First post or PM - this is listed nowhere else but here on bf.
