Here is an item I picked up at the SOS. Originally form e-ban, but the seller wouldn't sell to anyone outside the US of A, so my good friend Stingray got this one for me and brought it to the show.
What do you think of it?

Thanks, Terry, it was good to see you at the show.
Andy, I do not think that the issue I had was because I was Canadian, I think the issue is that sometimes when you ship items across borders, things can get confusing and even ugly with the whole mailing, customs, valuation issues. A lot of people have been burned or are worried that things can go wrong. I am disappointed, but I do not fault those who wish to be super careful. Just keep in mind, that problems and sleazebags come within all borders and all nationalities.

Johnny, Great looking fighting knife in fine condition. We don't often see them with such nice blonde grips. Definitely a keeper! Our buddy Ivan has a true collector's heart.  Will this one go into your new case or is that reserved for bayos only?  Best! W~
