Doug, there is over 1200 views and no replies. Is there something wrong with this knife? It looks well worth the asking price of $90 including shipping and paypal fee.
 
Hi Bruce I know what you mean. I am really surprised it is still here. The only thing I can think of is people just might not like the Marble. The knife is clean and sharp I can t understand it. Doug
 
Bruce the Fantasy marble is very light weight and before it is attached it is very brittle. Once it is attached it is very strong and durable. It is a resin material.
 
It sounds good and lightweight. Maybe you should ask these buyers for a critique.
I am interested in their answers and its in your best interest as well.
 
Critique wanted on this knife I am wondering what is it about this knife that it is still here Doug
 
Looks like a good little knife to me, fit and finnish looks good, and the price is right.
 
I can only imagine its the fantasy marble. this group seems to like the natural woods and particularly burls. As for the price, that is very fair!
 
Thanks JD and beemermark I have used that combo of materials on 2 different knives and have had no problems, I also used it as a complete handle on one of my Wilderness model also no problems. The Wilderness did take a while to sell as well.
 
I was worried about the durability of the marble, but I bought the his Wilderness model with the fantasy marble. It's held up well and the handle is really pretty. A sidenote is even my non knife friends comment on how beautiful the handle is. I should also mention that it came razor sharp.
Here's a photo of the handle of mine.

I may be thinking of another knife, but I thought that the original pics may have been less clear? This handle design is a bold statement in taste, ie. like or hate it. Otherwise if I were paying a lot more money than the asking price maybe a bit more polish on the handle? :confused:
 
I think it looks great and well worth the asking price !!!

Unfortunately my wallet is totally void of any cash at present, maybe everyone else is in the same boat !!!!
 
I think the main problem right now is that I don't have the money to buy it ;)

Other than that, it's a very good looking knife. It would make an awesome EDC. Not sure if everybody's pockets are empty like mine right now or what. I might like it a bit better if the handle were made solely of one material or the other. The buffalo horn is fantastic stuff, and the marble isn't bad either.
