Edit: it's the holiday weekend... $100 shipped!!
For sale today is my "Carried but not used" P'kal. I bought this knife as a SD knife about 5 years ago and carried it >80% of this time but probably only cut ~half a dozen things with it, always rope (around the farm).
It's got the factory edge still on it, never touched a stone (but was stropped on leather >4 times). Blade is in excellent condition with one single minor scratch I can't catch in a photo. You'll notice it's price reflects a user, this is because of the lanyard hole (the P'Kal doesn't come with one) I made a stupid mistake when drilling it and at first put it in the wrong side. Flat out dumb on my part and I'm not making any excuses, I was an idiot. Remember "measure twice cut / drill once", yea i didn't...
I filled the hole in by making a jade G10 plug (round, tapered like a cone so the top was larger and wedged in) and affixed it in place with fiberglass resin. I've NEVER had a single issue with it since. I then drilled the hole in the correct place.
All work was performed with knife fully assembled and the only fastener ever removed was the clip bolt. Note the lanyard hole is extreme close to the clips milled areas and as such I reinforced them with two small steel rods, these will just fall out if you remove the clip, they're not permanent modifications to the knife / clip.
The only wear marks are the tool mark from tightning down the Emerson wave rod and a small marred area on the clip side G10 (just in front of clip) and a SLIGHT scratch ~1CM long on the blade near the tip on the clip side.
I'm asking $100 and that's G&S and you receive the knife 3 days later (I ship USPS flat rate with full value insurance and ship the same or next day after pmnt received)
This is the closest you can come to seeing the VERY FINE scratch, follow the spine up to the second black dot (the dot that's in the concrete pillar topper), it starts about right there and heads back for 1cm. Again I can't stress how light this is, I didn't try to take the pic to hide it, actually the opposite, but it's just so light I can't capture it. Just tryjng to be #FullDisclosure here.
Note tool marks in wave rod
In this one you can see the steel reinforcing rods in the clip pockets, again these arnt permanent modifications and will simply fall out if you don't think you need them or you have a better way to go about it.
