Price drop to $165. SOLD!
For sale is my Butch Vallotton-designed full-sized Sub-Hilt. I'm the second owner, having bought this here a couple months back from a seller who described it as unused, which I have no reason to doubt. I pocketed this one day and think I cut only paper to test. The knife is in excellent condition with solid lock-up, centering as good as you could want, super-smooth action, and has the outstanding F&F you'd expect from a Taichung, Taiwan Spydie. The blade is superbly ground overall and still has its sharp factory edge.
I would probably keep this if I didn't already have so many damn knives and hadn't spent so much recently on new acquisitions. It's a really interesting piece with myriad well-executed design details. Looking just to recoup my investment in this one, I'm asking$175 $165 all in. SOLD! Sorry, this one came to me with no box.
Please note that payment must be by Paypal Goods and Services, with shipping to the buyer's US PP-listed address only. You must be at least 18 years of age and know your local knife laws in order to purchase. If you want the knife please post "I'll take it" in the thread followed by a PM or Profile Message to obtain my PP address. Prompt payment is expected to secure any deal and I reserve the right to sell to whom I choose. Sorry, no trades considered. Feel free to message me with questions or offers. Thanks for looking.
The previous owner described some light marks on the bolsters from handling, but you have to look for them in the right light. There is an almost imperceptible scuff on the clip which you can see in the bottom pic below.
