Withdrawn Raquin + Birgersson + Bidinger

[Scott]

Putting these out there to see what I can get in return.



That said not really looking to sell.

As for what I'm looking for, I think I'd like something lasery/light midweight that is stainless by a western smith (Kippington, Bidinger, Potentially Open to Others)

- Maybe something like the Birgersson but stainless
- Feel free to make an offer
- Not looking for a specialty grind at the moment
