I just recently picked up a little Victoria Secretary from this seller - a very honest dealer - charged me $9 to ship to Canada, then offered me a $5 refund because it didn't cost him as much as he thought. Has also contacted me to make sure it arrived (not yet - USPS to Canada eh?) If he says it's mint, it's likely in VERY good shape. I would be inclined to recommend him. I'm watching that one too - more knife than I think I'd ever want to carry, but a great price if it holds.
