**Make reasonable offer***
I was looking for a nice slim knife for pocket carry and this one fit the criterion well. Great knife. But as luck would have it I found something else just that suited my tastes better just as my trail period ended on this Ryu custom. I've never carried the knife. I actually bought it from a purveyor for over $650 with california tax on top of that. Worked out be quite a lot... the tax and fees of some purveyors can hurt.
I was so pleased with the knife I contacted Ryuichi to get on his list for another. According to him it's well into 3 years wait and increasing by the week. A similar knife from Ryu would be a lot more than $650 as his prices have increased since he built this one.
I'm asking $650 to your door with insurance and tracking. I'll take MO or paypal ( add 3% for the paypal fee). You don’t pay the tax that I paid and have virtually no wait for one of Ryu’s popular patterns.
Help me find a good home for this. The knife has great, slightly subtle popcorn stag scales. It measures 3 1/2" closed but is nice and slim at 1/4". Great for carry, even in dress pants. The main blade measures 2 1/4" (of actual cutting surface) and the smaller blade has 1 1/2" of actual cutting surface. Main blade is ATS34 and smaller blade is 440C according to Ryu (I asked). Edge has a nice profile to it and would be very easy to maintain the razor-like edge on a stone.

I can take additional pictures upon request but would probably be best just for verification purpose as my camera sucks arse.
PM or email me at sierra11b (AT) gmail.com for details.
