Title: FS: Alsdorf Custom Teardrop Jack Slipjoint
Post by: Sazabi on March 28, 2012, 09:49:25 PM
Because Zack's pictures are better than anything I could take, and because the knife has not been used and is in the same condition as when I got it, I'm borrowing the pictures he took of it over a year ago. 

As per what Zack said in his FS thread on the knife:  "I have sharpened it on a Sharpmaker using the ultra fine rods, and it is scary sharp, it can lift the newsprint right off a newspaper. Its never been carried or used for anything other than cutting paper and shaving my arm clean.  It will include a leather slip case and zippered padded case."  Like I said, I haven't used it once, only handled it once a month or so, then placed back carefully in it's slip case.

I paid about $195 for it, and that's what I'd like to get back; Mike Alsdorf's pieces currently have a three-month waiting period, and this knife sells for quite a bit more, so it's a bargain at this price for a wonderful, custom pocketknife.
