Numbered from a series of 18. Collaboration between myself, Jeffrey Modell (noted for Integral and full tang Butterfly Swords) and forgemaster K. Ali.

$225 US plus actual shipping, and if you are in Michigan I have to charge 6% sales tax. This is my first attempt to use the forums to sell so I apologize in advance if this fails to conform to any rules. We made 18 of them, I still have number one and will sell to first person who buys if they want it, other than that the number is what it is.

These are working knives, designed based on input form Michigan law enforcement officers, a lot of whom deal with foreclosures and need more than just a folder.

Handmade so all measurements and weights approximate.

The knife comes with a normal black leather sheath and a black closed carry sheath, an idea that didn't work out so well for most users. Unless you are wearing a duty belt, or if you are short, the closed carry sheath may be uncomfortable and ride up when you are seated. I thought about just moving the belt loop lower so it would ride easier but our police reviewers said it was just plain too big for them to want. The closed-carry case is an unwarranted extra while supplies last.

Warranty: If it fails to meet my description, send it back within three days at my expense. Heck, if you don't like it and you buy it through this forum, if you cover the postage both ways I will take it back and refund the price and any tax. In both of these cases, make sure you don't use it or mess it up first. Otherwise, there is a 30 day limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, subject to the knife being a handmade working knife rather than a showpiece, in lieu of all other warranties, including fitness for an intended use.

It's a weapon, you use it at your own risk. Don't use the glassbreaker unless you know what you are doing, are wearing safety goggles and a long jacket and gloves; even if you know what you are doing a glass breaker can injure you or anyone near you; absolutely at your own risk on the glassbreaker. It works fine, a bunch of crazy police officers tested it on all kinds of things from auto glass to house windows, so you don't need to test it. It is for life saving emergencies only.
