Up for sale is a never-been-used (didn't even bother with the customary paper cutting test!) S!K GSO 5.1 factory 2nd in 20CV steel. I ordered two of these last month, one in 3V and then this one in 20CV to inspect close and personally to decide which one would suit me better for my purposes.
After some research I settled on the 3V because I intend to use more for woodworking as opposed to 20CV which can be a better hunting knife (I am not a hunter), although I found one minor flaw on the 3V version which I am fine with. I have yet to notice any flaws on this one I am offering and it most definitely does not have the same minuscule blemish that my 3V ended up with. When I received both orders, I interchanged the handle scales and the kydex sheaths (the one I am keeping now has the camo canvas handle scales and a kydex sheath in dark Earth color). In the process of changing over handle scales, fasteners and sheaths; I over tightened the fasteners a bit too much and a bit of the black varnish has come off the middle fastener (please see photos). I did not strip any of the fasteners!
So to recap, what I am offering is exactly as photographed which is a Factory 2nd GSO 5.1 with the CPM 20CV steel ($5 add on from Survive!) with black&orange G10 handle scales ($10 add on from Survive!), black oxide fasteners and black kydex sheath. Everything will go to the buyer in the same factory box and all that is photographed.
Terms of sale:
1- Must be over 18 years of age and you are responsible to know your own State's and municipality's laws with regards to purchase, transportation and handling of knives.
2- Shipping to U.S. only (CONUS). Shipping via US Postal Services Priority Mail (USPS). No International shipping (very sorry!).
3- Purchase only (sorry, I will not consider trades).
4- Payment via PayPal only.
5- Price of $275 net to me and it includes shipping as stated above (please note that if you pay for goods on PP, you will have to add 4% to the quoted price)
6- First, "I will take it" followed by a PM through BladeForums will take this, pending cleared payment.
Thank you.
