Pictures below. And first of I appoligize for the huge images, I am unable to make them smaller right now.

I love this knife but need money. That also means no trades.

This knife can chop down a small tree. The blade is pretty thick and stout and just all around tough. Even the solid micarta seems very hard to dent. The handle is in immaculate condition but the black micarta is a hair lighter from use. No dents anywhere. The knife is near mint in terms of function and form, but just the blade shows heavy scratching. The scratches can glare when light hits them, as you see in pics but they are only on the surface finish of the knife. They don't dig into the blade. Purely cosmetic. I shipped the knife to Mastersmith Don Hanson III to resharpen the blade and re-profile the edge. Its even sharper now then when I got it new. I have not used it since its mini edge refurb.

The sheath is not in great shape and you will want a new one. Its a black pouch style but it loosened a bit too much on me and the blade can fall out. Also some stiching that holds the belt loop on is cut. A sheath should not cost to much and I would recommend one.

This knife has a damascus integral blade forged by the maker. The steels are 115w8 and 75ni8. The handle is contoured solid black micarta with a nickel silver pin through the center.

Use this knife and have fun. Great quality and you will feel it right away.
