Ok, little story to this one, for full disclosure.
I picked this up, and the blade grind was lopsided, like 15 one side 40+ the other.
So, instead of returning it, I sharpened the edge down to a convex, and balanced it out. Then I put a beveled edge back on it. \
All done by hand, no belt sander or anything touched it.
It looked weird with a polished convex grind and the bead blast/stonewash, so I scotchbrited the blade to a satin finish, and opened up the sharpening choil slightly.
There were some slight marks on the blade under the bead blast, that if you wanted to sand it you could get out, I didn't want to grind on it that much.
These seem to going for 220-250, now that they are sold out, so due to the fact its been sharpened and 'modded' slightly, lets say:
180.00 shipped CONUS. Paypal no fees.
If it doesn't sell, I won't mind.
