Update 2: really a great knife. It has some heft / authority but doesn’t feel large. The integral bolster feels very nice to hold. A full polish and nice FF. If you like Jonas, ApexUltra, and / or full tang integral, this is not to be missed. Dropping price to $775 shipped CONUS (first $20 outside of CONUS)
——————————————————
Update: used it for a couple of meal preps at home. Removed the patina (see new pictures below). This one actually started to grow on me. I’m sure it will make someone happy, especially if you like full tang integral.

Received this beautiful knife from @DF18 today. It is awesome. Made some test cuts. The steel feels really nice. Great FF overall.
This was purchased brand new by DF18 as a custom. I bought it from him last week and received it today (see his post in the link below).

Between the time I bought this knife and today, I was able to secure a couple of custom spots that I need to fund. While this is a great knife, it is just a bit longer and heavier than what I personally prefer.
Going to relist this at the same price I paid ($800), but I will cover shipping and insurance for CONUS plus PayPal fee. For outside of CONUS, I will cover the first $20.
Kindly note that the knife shows some minor wrought inclusions due to the full polish which you can see in DF18's video.
