Fist off, let me say that this knife has a few problems - The previous owner obviously didn't take care of it for some reason.:grumpy:
It has side-to-side and vertical bladeplay
The detent is not really functional (the tip comes a quarter inch out of the handle before it works)
There are some small gaps/fit issues.
It was missing two screws, so I sized some for it (the shiny ones near the rear of the handle)
The current sharpening job is pretty bad
However, if you look past its faults, it is a cool piece of knifemaking history. Mr Carson tells me this was made in the late 80's - early 90's.
The scales are black paper micarta, bolsters are titanium, and the blade is most likely ATS34.
The overall length is 9", blade length is 3.75".
I have no idea what this is worth in its current condition, so I'm starting my price at $300 > $260 > $220 > $200 *SPF Elsewhere* Paypal OBO. I only ship to the US, and shipping/insurance and PP fees are included.
I have more pictures, or I can take more, if you're interested.
Thanks for looking!
