Just met by chance at the store. He came there for a meetup separate to myself going to the store. Didn't mean to keep in contact, but I mentioned it casually to kip, and he was curious, but didn't ask/need me to. I posted this casually, and uh, the rest has just happened.
Damage -- uh, honestly not bad at all. Just a small chip from shipping to him and a small tip damage, which in the grand scheme of things, is tame. Normal kind of oops. Otherwise, everything about the knife looked minty, even no patina. My reason posting this was just to kinda nudge the guy a little to connect with Kip because he was worried about the damage. The damage is not that bad! Though its the sort of stuff the guy wanted to work though on his own, too, to learn how knives are made, so I can see where he's coming from. It's not like it's a bend or a crack. . . In the future though, I dont think I'll post something like this again.
Have tried a couple used ones in the meantime. Once you go feather, you'll never find better.
