Apologies for the poor lighting. Additional pics can be taken in the daylight tomorrow if desired.
Blade is made from an American made high carbon tool steel file tempered down to around 58rc
Nickel silver pins
Black micarta (paper I believe) handles
"Bobtail" style handle
2 3/4" cutting edge
Measures 4 5/8" in the closed including the exposed tang (handle alone measures 3 1/2")
Tang doubles as a bottle opener!
Completion date etched on blade 07/01/13
Just arrived from Michael today, new and unused (other than the obligatory newsprint and arm hair cut tests). Has some extremely faint handling scuffs to the pins and handles, other than that flawless. Centered blade, perfect smooth action, zero play. Blade stays retained in the closed no matter how hard you shake it and the friction in the open feels super secure as well. Opens one-handed with ease. Mirror polished hair exploding edge. Top notch.
Comes with info paper/warranty, business card, and a leather Morris key fob. Knowing his reputation, I'm almost positive Michael would honor the warranty regardless of change of ownership.
When I ordered this back in January I was given an estimate for a 120 day wait. It ended up being a 150+ day wait (no knock to Michael he kept me completely updated about the delay). Just a testament to the increasing amount of work the guy gets. I would not be letting this one go immediately after waiting 7 months if I weren't in between jobs right now and in need of the funds.
First "I'll take it" followed by PM or e-mail gets it. Paypal only please, no gift payment. Paypal fees and USPS First Class shipping with tracking included with asking price CONUS. International please contact me to figure out additional shipping costs. I reserve the right to sell to whomever I please.
I'm asking what I paid: **SOLD** $120 shipped
Thanks for looking all,
Jon
