A catch and release for me of this very solid small folder by a South African maker by the name of Tinus Stone.

Blade is N690 and 2 1/2" long, overall length is just at 5 7/8"

Handle is a neat combination of blue maple bolsters and black micarta scales with a blue liner.

Now the blade has quite a strong pull to the half stop, it's pinchable (since there isn't any nail nick) and to go full open it is a little lighter pull but still stout. With a name like Stone, you'd expect a solid folder!

I have sharpened this to it's betterment, mirror polished edge bevels.

It includes a small leather slip sheath by the maker.

Price shipped in the USA is $old which is what I just paid for it, so recouping that cost and adding the sharpening in for free.
Payment by US Postal money order or check if I know you, I do not have paypal.

Thanks and yes, it is quite the pretty folder too, the curve of the handle helps keep it under control during use.

I would offer the person that buys this a little nicer leather slip sheath of my making, you can choose the embossing, colour of the leather and the thread for stitching.

it would be made of very soft supple milled veggie tan leather, same as what I made this slip sheath with;
