For Sale is one Fireblue Dalton Mantis. $425 - $410
If you are interested please email me at ryan28801 (at) yahoo (dot) com
I don't check my PM's very often lately.
US Postal oney Orders Only
$5 shipping gets you USPS priority and delivery confirmation.
I need cash, so I prefer no trades at this time unless it is for a S&W M638 or similar.
This knife will be on multiple forums so the timestamp rule will apply.
Lum and Trailwalker not included
There are no official numbers as to how many Mantis' were made, but the standard model is uncommon these days and this custom is a one of a kind.
It has ivory micarta inlays with FTW engraved on the side opposite the pocketclip. The raindrop damascus( I believe that is the correct name, someone correct me if I am wrong please!) blade is not completely sharpened and that is as it came from Rob Dalton.
There is hand done filework on the back of the blade also, if you are interested I'll be happy to provide photos
You could sharpen it or send it to Rob for a sharpening, he has good customer service, I decided to leave it as it came. The pocket clip is also fireblue titanium with a satin release button. This is part of a custom series Rob did. These are pretty rare. There are two very small nicks in the titanium handle, I mention them in the interest of full disclosure, again if you are interested I'll get some close ups for you.
