This was another impulse buy. I carried one of these back in the late 80s and lost it in a parking lot in New York... was my favorite knife and couldn't afford another.
Anyway, this popped up on the forum a few months back and I immediately spent money I shouldn't have on it. Was told it sat in the back of a safe unused for over 30 years, looks brand new, but no box. Tested both edges on a roll of paper towels and they are sharp. Fits snugly in the leather sheath with no rattle. Practically invisible at the beltline except for the bright chrome finish on the clip (can be sanded and cold blued if you choose to do so).
This is the BEST push dagger Cold Steel ever made. These were made in Japan between 1985-1988, IIRC. Maker mark is on the Kraton, not the blade. Perfect unused condition.
I have seen used and abused Terminators with chips, pitting, and peeling Kraton selling for over 300 on eBay. This is a very collectable and valuable knife in this condition.
Priced to sell this weekend at only $185 shipped (CONUS only, Customs does not like these).
Gonna miss this one, but I'll never carry it, I'm too old and broken to get in brawls anymore. I can accept Paypal F&F, Zelle, or Cash app.
