Hello all, I've got an S&M #71 in Black Linen Micarta for $65, Paypal G+S. The price includes shipping priority USPS in the CONUS.
It was used on a few camping trips, although carried in a slip, and has the start of a nice, organic patina. There is a slight scratch on one side of the blade, which has only been stropped after performing some light kindling-shaving duty and slicing up some apples I picked. I'd say the F+F is solid, and the pull is average on both blades. Even though it's got a big primary, the long, matchstriker pull keeps it from being anywhere near a nailbreaker. I also think this has the most satisfying walk and talk of any knife I've held yet. My only issue with it is just how large it is; knife laws around DC are pretty touchy, so it will just never see my pocket outside of hikes or camping. It will include the original box too. If you need any other pictures besides the ones I uploaded, please don't hesitate to let me know.
As seems to be standard, the first "I'll take it," gets it; afterwards, shoot me a PM and I'll provide my PayPal information. If payments are made before 1430 EST on a weekday, I should be able to ship that day; I ask for quick payment and try to reciprocate with quick turnaround for shipping, tracking number provided immediately upon mailing. Thank you folks for your time, and I hope that if this isn't what you're looking for, you find something on the forums that is.
