Rare David Dempsey Japanese influenced damascus blade

[sloth357]

Well, I keep going back and forth with this knife. So here it is again.

David Dempsey "kwaiken" in .155 damascus.
blade length of 3 5/8in long, and OAL length of 7 3/4in.
cord wrapped over rayskin with a carbon-look kydex sheath.

Full disclosure: the kydex sheath is slightly loose, a little up/down jiggle. The knife has not been used or sharpened by me. Sharpness rating is fair. Not screaming sharp. The Turkish knot has very slight rub from being in/out of sheath. None of this is/was a deal breaker.

Would be a great EDC/user, and still makes for a great collection piece. Apparently David didn't make many Japanese styled knives, and he might be done making knives from what I understand.

Buyer to pay with paypal only, shipped to CONUS only. Buyer responsible for knowing local knife laws. First I'll take it in this thread followed by a PM or email gets it. Thanks for looking, questions are welcome.

Price: $180

$165 on this knife is too cheap.

I want it gone. GONE!

$5 bux PRICE DROP to $160. Lowest I can go. Too many knives, not enough hands.. Last bump at this insanely low price for a Dempsey custom.

Thanks for looking.
