Ban Tang Mini Bowie --> one-off shortie variant
The one on the left. MrPink's standard size Mini-Bowie is on the right, and Ban's personal prototype is in the middle.
I just sent it to Ban for a good cleanup, so it'll come to you good as new.
Full disclosure: the knife got knocked out of its sheath once on a freak accident and bounced on asphalt a couple of times. The ONLY damage it sustained was a minor nick on the very tip. Ban fixed this minor nick for me when I sent it back to him, so the knife is back to new condition. The only sign of use should be the darkening of the micarta from my hands over normal use. I should have the knife back today or tomorrow, so I can take time-stamped pics later.
SOLD for $225 --> $250 shipped USPS to US only. Paypal gift, if you prefer paypal payment, add 3%. No trades, only looking for cash. I am also posting this for sale in the exchange, so the time stamp wins.
Other random shots over its life with me:
(I wear medium gloves)
Time-stamped pics to be added when I get the knife back.
Thanks for looking :thumbup:
