It pains me to do it but I need to let this one go. The knife is complete and has not been used. For additional info you might want to check out this thread. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1212481-Chris-Reeve-MK-IV-from-1987-in-D2
The below quoted info is from BF member Steven65 who was able to fill in a lot of blanks for me about this knife.
This is an early Southern African knife. The knife "does not have "Made in South Africa" on it. This means it was one of the first batches to enter the US. The later ones were all marked "Made in South Africa" as required by US Customs."
"Blackjack marketed Chris's knives from early '87 to the middle of '88. "
"Chris used D2 exclusively in the early years. It was really only after Bohler were having supply problems with D2 in round bar in South Africa that Chris switched to A2. The switch happened over a period of time as he used up his D2 blanks in various sizes."
Price $1150 OBO
