Please refrain from conversation in this thread. First "I'll take it" followed promptly by a PM gets the knife. Prices are firm and includes Paypal G&S and USPS Priority Shipping.
1. Gorgeous full custom Larevo Laterus (by Jason Overall). It features a hand-rubbed blade, black timascus bolsters & clip, Tellurium copper pivot collars & backspacer, gorgeous marble carbon fiber scales and blue-anodized titanium liners. This is what a real custom is about--super tight tolerances, buttery action, hand finished look all around. I could go on but the pictures speak for themselves and it can really only be appreciated fully when in hand.
Anyway, I have never once carried/used/cut anything with this knife. I am not the first owner so I'm not completely sure of how it was treated before I took possession. However, regardless, this knife is recently back from a spa treatment and is in minty condition at this point. There was an issue with lockup/blade centering when I first got it but Jason took care of it completely when he had it in for spa work. The centering, lockup, action are all extremely good now. Aesthetically, I've looked it over carefully and the ONLY thing I can find is an EXTREMELY superficial scratch on the clip (can only be seen in just the right light at just the right angle). Other than that, it looks awesome. This is roughly a $1200 knife at this point but will let it go for $825 (FIRM).
2. ***SOLD***Holt V2 Specter #190 (born 5/25/2018).
This is a prestige-level knife with an incredible Draupner Damasteel blade and a two-toned titanium handle with the Moray milling pattern. The anodized lowers (and hardware and clip) are 79V and the upper flats are stonewashed grey. It's honestly one of the prettiest Specters I've ever seen.
I'm sure you know the Specters are never-to-be-made again so the longer you hold this, the more it is going to be worth--very little doubt of that. The original box and contents are included.
I'm not the original owner of this one and I've never once pocketed it or used it in any way--just flipped it. However, the handle does show some minor signs of it being handled/carried. I can't find any marks on the blade, whatsoever. The handle has a pretty aggressive stonewash so it's hard to tell exactly what might be factory SW and what might be light scratches. But, I'd say the handle does definitely have some superficial marks. It is nothing significant--just some snail trails, but I will not call the handle flawless. The clip shows some similar type of light scratching. I have little doubt that this knife was carried at some point in its history...but the lack of any marks on the blade make me think it never actually cut anything.
NOTE: when I looked at my pics, I noticed a few pieces of obvious hair or dust in a couple of them. Any obvious things you're seeing on the handle are not scratches or defects--the snail trails I refer to above are insignificant and will not show in the pics. I just didn't do a very good job blowing it off before the pics... If this doesn't sell fast, I'll probably redo my pictures so as to not make anyone think there are scratches that don't actually exist.
Anyway, regardless, the knife is in excellent condition and I have no doubt that a spa trip would turn this back into a brand-new-looking knife. I had considered doing that but never did because the knife looks pretty fantastic as it sits. But if you want it to be perfect, it would require a visit to the Holts' shop.
