Bought this new from Tom. It has been used, it has been sharpened, there are some fine scratches in the blade finish near the tip on both sides that you can see when the light is right (see picture 5 for the gory details).

BG-42 blade with a cutting edge very close to 3" in length. Ti liners, pocket clip and liner lock. Standoffs are stainless. PB washers. G10 scales.

Very smooth action, very strong lock-up, no blade play in any direction at any time ever. This is an incredibly solid knife. I'm only selling it because when I stripped the shingles off my roof I ran into unexpected (unbudgeted) repairs.

**SOLD, Thank you!** I'll ship internationally for $5 more plus insurance if you want it. Paypal preferred, USPS money order OK too. 3 day inspection period, if you're not happy with it just send it back and I'll refund your money, you'll just have to cover the cost of shipping it back.

Feel free to post or e-mail me with questions. Thanks for looking.
 
Someone e-mailed a question about whether this was more a gent's knife or a heavy-duty user. In that regard: The blade at the spine is 1/8" thick, and the Ti liners are also 1/8". The handle fills the hand really well, because the G10 scales round it out enough that it fills the palm well. Thumb rest grooves on the spine are excellent. So, this knife locks into your hand really well. In terms of materials, fit and finish and "toughness", my honest opinion is that this knife is AT LEAST as well put together as a Sebenza. Two notable exceptions to this comparison are that: 1. I don't think it will come apart as easily for cleaning/maintenance, and 2. The shape of the handle makes it a much better fit for the hand.

Somebody buy this knife, lumber prices are going up every friggin' day! :grumpy:
 
Tom makes great knives, his fit and finish and attention to detail is easly up there with the best. This is a steal and if I were not left handed, it would be mine.
