She's now SOLD folks, thanks for looking.


also includes the zippered pouch shown above as well.

Some history on this knife, the blade side without the logo use
to have the etching that stated MK 2 "Classic"

But that side had gotten scratched from the closeness of the
handle scale, so I had tried to sand out the scratches lightly but
the etching was also on there very lightly so off she came, it
was a bit large for the blade anyways, so sanded and then
polished the blade as well as buffed up the bolsters a little
to the nice mirror finish you see in the above pictures.

The knife when fully open has very slight side to side blade play
and next to no vertical play, the way the lock works on these
is a bit unique, there is a curve machined out in the scales and
a steel pin in the end of the tang of the blade that travels around
in that trench, it's not visible no matter how you hold it, Mike Irie
explained it to me once a long time ago.

So a little blade play is expected, this one is nice.

Thanks for looking,
