It's not rough,it's charactor! A clean and a proper sharpening,and it'll be a great user,with real history

Legality aside, I never could get on with butterfly knives, although I did master the CS Triple action which is an awesome feat given how dispraxic I am :D

Well the economy scales on my other matching spartan are in slightly better condition so could just swap them,the originals have some deep scratches so would need a serious polishing.
