Giving this one last shot. Didn't get any interest las time, so I am not holding my breath this time. I suspect most people are not familiar, but if you like the look, I encourage you to do the homework. Tuya makes great knives and Dave Warren, their US representative, is very professional.

Tuya Kingsman from the original run. Serial #81 of 150, if I remember correctly. M390, marbled carbon fiber. Excellent condition, infrequent carry, very light use (envelope duty), touched up just a little on a ceramic rod. Comes with original hard clamshell case and lanyard. I read an article on the Kingsman that highlighted the fact that the owner of Tuya sent the original Kingsman blades back because they were not at HRC 62 as per the spec. They were at 60 - 61. That certainly says commitment to quality in my eyes.

V1 sold out almost immediately. V2 retails for $269 new, so $200 for this one seems fair to me.
Zelle or PP F&F includes USPS priority insured shipping in the US only.
Sorry no trades at this time. Thank you for your interest.

These knives are grossly under-rated.. Worth every bit of 300+.. If it said Reate, it's a 300+ knife all day long. Great milling, beautifully ground blade and phenomenal action. Sadly TuyaKnife doesn't get the attention/respect their knives deserve. To top it off, Dave Warren(US Distributor & the face of Tuya) is one of the best people in the knife world. I got to spend Blade West 2019 with him at the Tuya table and he is beyond a good guy.
