Hi Everyone,
I have up for grabs one of the very hard-to-get SK5 Tigersharks, if you know about these, then you know just how hard these are to obtain. ( check out the rarity rating on this knife by the SOG Collectors themselves )

Click on this link and read about this knife!
Since I bought this knife, I have never used it, and it has been safe queened, my mate hounded the hang out of me to buy this knife, and I gave in during hard times a while ago..he too has never used it , stored the knife out of the sheath, oiled the blade and that was that.
He has changed direction in his collecting ( he collects purely Antiques now ) and I just cant afford to buy back this lovely knife...so I am selling on behalf for him.
Condition is extremely tidy, the sheath has a lot of very small indentations, but none that have broken the surface of the leather, in fact I doubt if the knife has been actually worn much if in fact at all? but looks to have been stored in its sheath before I bought it.
The knife has very fine "sheathing" scratches, I would put money on it that it obtains its original factory edge, there are to the absolute critic a couple of marks on the blade which are very minor, one of these marks is a singular rust creep hair line that is 7mm long - and thats it! the blade retains its factory Satin Brushed finish, all in all a very good find.
The owner wants $265.00 for the knife, I will share down the middle Pay Pal fees, and also Shipping costs tyd.
Please...no offers of trade, he wants to sell.
Thank you for looking.
