This is a used Reate Wave knife that I bought as LNIB from this forum not too long ago and am the second owner of. I have only used it lightly but I did strip the gold and blue anodizing from the inlays using a wire drum attachment and I used the same attachment to remove the bronze anodizing from the pivots as well as the other exposed screws so they would have a uniform appearance. I also reprofiled the M390 blade using a Wicked Sharp at 18 degrees (17.2 per angle reader) from the 100 grit handles through 1600 followed by the balsa paddles using 5 and then 3.5 micron paste. The knife is in good condition though has light carry marks but no deep scratches. The blade is centered, lock-up is 25% with no stick, firm detent and smooth and very snappy action. Included are the Reate branded zipper pouch, still-packaged micro-fibre cloth, branded drawstring pouch and replacement screws and bearing washers. I am asking $250.00 with shipping included to CONUS. I'm not interested in trades at this time. Here is a brief video.

Whoops the knife was supposed to be in it. I'll again later.
 
Can you post a better pic of the tip? It almost looks like it is chipped or rounded. I could go 200, as I am not sure if the mods will void the warranty or not.
 
I just emailed Reate about the warranty, they were quick to respond last time I emailed them.
Here are two more photos that show a better angle of the tip:

I can take a better picture in a little while but I hope that's clear enough. Would you be willing to meet me halfway at $225?
