Grimsmo Norseman #3031
The pics in the Grimsmo link are a helluva lot better than mine - https://grimsmoknives.com/products/norseman-3031-9015871811
I just HAD to check out a Grimsmo Norseman....had to. So when I got a Nick Shabazz Patreon link for this a little over a week ago, and with my checking account a little flush from a recent ESOP disbursement, I went for it. Now I've got this beauty with purple anodized double-honeycomb pattern and bronze anodized accents, and well, it's everything I thought it was going to be. Freakin' amazing, BUT....I just can't keep it. The purchase price of (deep breath) $925 is more than triple what I paid for the most expensive knife that remains in my collection, the Slysz Bowie. I've more than met my match and my limit, and I just can't do the safe queen thing.
So, this knife is about as brand-new-in-box as it gets. When I got it, I put on nitrile exam gloves, took out of its case, flipped it open and let it drop shut three times, snapped some photos, put it back in its case, and then wept a little (just kidding on the weeping, but everything else is correct). And yes, I'm sad to let this go, but I'm glad I got to experience the iconic Grimsmo Norseman, however briefly.
I emailed the Grimsmos a little while ago to see about a refund, and I guess(?) that they'd do it, but by the time I ship it back to Ontario and wait for a refund, I'm thinking it would be about three weeks before any funds hit my checking account. In the meantime, I could use the $$ for holiday expenses, so I'd be willing to take a bit of a bath and see if I can get a relatively quick sale.
Asking $OLD - thanks, ridgeline and BF!
