This is a mint unused satin ASHBM with a semi NM treatment. I say semi because even though all the flats are rounded, they are not severely rounded and still have a sharp shoulder, which I like a lot more than the full NM treatment. I of course sharpened it freehand and it has a RAZOR edge that will likely outslice 99% of knives on the forum. No joke. This is not an edge that you want to press to hard to your skin.

Then there is the handles. These are custom made for me and were very expensive add on to what was already a very expensive knife. These handles are made from what the aerospace industry calls Lightning Strike protected Carbon Fiber(LSCF). There are two types of LSCF, one that used a copper wire grid integrated into the CF layers and a more modern one that used an aluminum wire grid integrated into the CF layers. This one uses the aluminum wire grid. The handles are stunning and complement the knife well.

I love this knife and don't care if it sells. The price I am listing it for is literally my cost. Which is low considering this is a factory satin. $1075 shipped paypal.

If nothing else enjoy the expose' as I won't be updating this thread.

I thought all of these had convex grinds? Yours looks like it has a edge bevel...maybe it's the shadow. Nice handle!

I put the edge on this one. That is not factory. So yes, you are correct, it is a bevel and considerably sharper than any factory bevel.
 
This one will officially be off the market tomorrow and any message counter offers by me only apply through 6pm mountain time today.
