Sweet Harsey Folder on eBay

Looks like an AF Fighting Knife when open, I think . . .

Mr. H., is this the pre-production version of the design you did for Gerber?

That's a true custom Harsey-Vallotton A/f folder. total production run was about 150 pieces.
The base price on that folder was 475 dollars, 10 years ago.

Edited to add: Crap, I should be in on the bidding.

ok, the pic looks like we have an unused highly collectable and rare knife.

If anyone here should choose to bid on this and get it, I will verify in writing it's authenticity and also be responsible for any touch up to bring it back up to new condition if needed. I can do this, I have the shop it was built in right here...
