Man, what a good looking 'real' knife, meaning made to work. The secondary blade looks tough enough to tackle any job. A very stout or strong profile.
And for the same price as a GEC on ebay. I have had a few of Ken's knives, every one was 'right on' in all aspects.
Your description says: "I would rate the knife's overall condition at about 93%"
How do you get such a figure. I think it is more like 98.5% of new condition at least.
Good knife for a working hombre.

Thanks, Roland. It probably is closer to your estimate but I would rather underestimate a little and have a pleasantly surprised buyer.

This is completely off topic but I used to be into astronomy. If the skies were clear on Halloween I would set up a telescope in my front yard and use it to track the planet Saturn. When kids would walk by I would let them take a look if they wanted to. I always made it a point to tell them that they might or might not be able to see anything.

Saturn and its rings can be seen very easily on a clear night with even a cheap telescope. In fact, it looks like a star to the naked eye. All it needs is a little magnification.

When those kids expected to see nothing and then saw Saturn in all its glory, they were delighted, to say the least.

My listing isn't as drastic as that but since you mentioned it, I do hope for a pleasantly surprised buyer.

Thanks, Mike. I've enjoyed it for several years but haven't carried it for maybe two years or more. I'm attempting to downsize a little and it's time for someone else to enjoy it.

I am hoping that it sells but I won't be heart broken if it doesn't. It's the only Coats knife that I own and it wasn't an easy decision to make.
