Price shown in this post include PayPal fees and shipping via USPS to a US address. I will ship outside of US or accept non-PayPal payment only in special circumstances (e.g. I have done business with you before). I will favor the first person who posts an unconditional "I'll take it" but reserve the right to sell to whomever I choose. Please DM me with any questions.

This is one of the only knives I've ever bought that I found too precious to use and I feel that dishonors the spirit of its legendary maker, the late, great Tony Bose. I purchased this example on BF several years ago and assume I am at least the third or fourth owner. The knife shows no signs of use and I used it for nothing more than opening a few envelopes. However, the blade is somewhat dull near the tip, presumably from being taken in and out of the Parsons sheath many times. There are no other flaws that I can detect. Of course the grind is superb and the lines are perfect. Tony ground the blade by hand as part of a small batch for the National Knife Collectors Association and the African Blackwood handle was added by a third party. I believe our very own Vince (VCM3) here on BF.
Specs:
Steel: Stainless, 154CM I believe
Handle: Blackwood
Blade Thickness: 3/32"
Blade Length: 2 7/8"
Handle Length: 3 1/2"
OAL: 6 3/8"
Price: $599 OBRO
