    Congrats VolGrad. Unlike others, I was sure I would not win. It is comforting to know some things that never change. :cool:

    Ha! Glad you like it. Aside from being incomplete, the guy that had it first did an inexpert job trying to sharpen it. If you look toward the choil, you'll see some evidence of erratic grinder use. You can also see some oxidation around the printing areas. These are minor issues for someone with even the most basic tool maintenance ability, but the original buyer was utterly overwhelmed by them.

    I just felt like this knife was the great opportunity for a giveaway.

    Send that thing to me, I'll make that choil a useful size. That thing looks like it was made for a child's finger.

    I might send it your way someday to touch up and you can do whatever you want to the choil. Might send my latest Umnumzaan as well. No rush on either.
