In the spine shot, the tip looks like it skews to the right. Please confirm.

Wow. Some people have nothing better to do than jerk their brains around. The "old" price was $400. Now $350. And this was NOT sold, Getiscid. So the "sold" price was not deleted. If it were sold, I would not still have it here for sale. Duhh.
Wow. SMH

Here’s a closer shot. The blade tapers, as designed. No skew.

Typically I would not comment but since many members have skewed this post with comments questioning the integrity of the post I wanted to share for anyone interested: Cliff is a reputable seller with many past sales here including one to myself that came in perfect condition and matched the specifications of the post. It was sent quickly and the exchange of PM’s was easy to set up the shipment. This knife if one I’ve owned and some sites list it as 170, others at 180. Per handmade knives the length falls somewhere close to that range and updating the post I would see as a positive to ensure accuracy. If you’re not interested keep moving along. -Kevin
