A few weeks ago, I purchased a used Martin Wasabi...wrapping fairly soiled, a few chips on the blade, etc., but happy to get it.
Emailed R.J. Martin to see if I could return the knife for refurbishing. He was happy to help and did so at a very reasonable cost.
Just got the knife back yesterday. It looks brand new! It looked so "new" that I thought he had replaced the rayskin and re-wrapped the handle. However, he had just taken care of the blade and cleaned the handle very well. Way beyond good, closer to superb.
Hopefully without sounding silly or insincere, I am completely thrilled with his work. I'll definitely be adding more of his workmanship to my collection as opportunity/$$$ come along.
Thanks Randy!
