I bought this knife used from the original owner in February. It's still in excellent shape. I only carried it a few times and never used the blade. Only reason I'm letting it go is it's a little small for me. This knife was custom made for me by Mr Shiffer and hand delivered at Blade Show in Atlanta. It's a beautiful knife with gold anodized accents and bead blasted blade & clip. The only wear is on the clip, and it's not a lot.
