If interested, PM me and I'll send ya pics of the knife. I'll tell you now that the slight recurve in the blade has been taken out and that the edge has been convexed by myself. The Thumb stud has been switched out to a longer one but it matches the knife well and the clip is in good shape. As the title indicates, this is an earlier model as the blade is solid VG-10 instead of the san-mai sandwich (VG-10 core sandwiched between sheets of 420J)
