Back in May, I made a commitment to Ariel Salaverria to buy this knife after it was completed. Unfortunately, because of my injury in August and the subsequent bills due to my surgery, I cannot afford to keep this beautiful blade...I have only had this knife in my possesion for about three weeks. This knife is a hand forged cable damascus push dagger with a Sanbar stag handle. The blade and end caps of the handle have been "coppered" to give this knife a truely unique look. There is, however, one imperfection to this knife: The Sanbar stag handle has a stain on it from the sheath's leather retaining strap. This can be clearly seen in the pictures below...purely cosmetic...***UPDATE*** I was able to remove the stain! Woo-Hoo! I purchased this knife for $250...I am asking $200 plus shipping....Christmas special: $150 plus shipping
CJ, try a Mr Clean Magic Eraser... You can find one in your grocery store. I would bet that it cleans it right up. Looks real good BTW. I saw the pics of him making that one. I like the copperization. Nice. Sorry you have to sell it.
Seems as though CJ was able to clean the stain off. Lower price too! $150 for a Custom Ariel? Someone buy this thing!
