BUCK 270 ALPHA DORADO FOLDING KNIFE W/CUSTOM HANDMADE DESERT IRONWOOD HANDLES

Description: THIS IS A NOS (01/08/2015 MFG) BUCK 270, WHICH HAD THOSE UGLY (IM0) PLASTIC HANDLES. THIS IS A FANTASTIC-LOOKING KNIFE, IN ITS SHAPE AND SIZE, BUT THOSE UGLY-A$$ PLASTIC CAMO HANDLES RUINED IT, IMO. I REPLACED THOSE WITH BEAUTIFUL DESERT IRONWOOD SCALES, HAND-MADE (my hands) SPECIFICALLY TO SATISFY MY OWN SENSE OF JUSTICE. I THINK THE NEW HANDLES DO THIS KNIFE JUSTICE. THE PLASTIC DID NOT! YOU WILL NOTICE THAT MY HANDLES ARE FATTER THAN THE ORIGINALS. THAT'S BECAUSE I PREFER MORE 'MEAT' ON THE HANDLES OF MY KNIVES. LENGTH CLOSED 4"LENGTH OPEN 6 1/2"BLADE LENGTH 2 1/2" I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE BUCK PURISTS WILL NOT APPRECIATE MY DESECRATION OF THIS KNIFE. THAT'S OK WITH ME. THIS KNIFE IS FOR THAT GUY WHO, LIKE ME, WANTS SOMETHING THAT'S UNIQUE, THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS! I ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I POSSIBLY HAVE VOIDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS KNIFE. WELL ........ I'M PRICING THIS PIECE AT $165, INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL BOX, WARRANTY PAPER, NYLON SHEATH, AND THOSE UGLY PLASTIC HANDLES, JUST IN CASE YOU WANT TO PUT THEM BACK ON. YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A TORX T-6 BIT. I WILL ALSO INCLUDE A PIECE OF SCRAP IRONWOOD. I LOVE DESERT IRONWOOD. IT'S THE HARDEST WOOD ON THE PLANET, FROM THE SLOWEST-GROWING TREE ON THE PLANET, WHICH MAKES SENSE, BECAUSE IT'S ONLY FOUND IN THE SONORA DESERT OF NORTHERN MEXICO AND SOUTHERN ARIZONA. IT HAS A SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF 1.2 WHICH MEANS IT DOESN'T FLOAT. THAT'S WHY I'M INCLUDING THE SCRAP, SO YOU CAN VERIFY THAT FOR YOURSELF. SHIPPING IS FREE, AND I ONLY SHIP TO U.S.A. ADDRESSES. YOU MUST BE OF LEGAL AGE IN YOUR STATE TO PURCHASE THIS ITEM. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND INTEREST. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS FOR SALE, AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.
