Custom Scale Division (Cuscadi) Rex 45 PM2

I spent months working on this custom build in early 2019. The vision for this knife was to be a user that fully embraced work and made it look good.
It started by working with Custom Scale Division in Germany to make a set of scales that were micarta, would slowly patina over time, and paid homage to the original burnt orange G10 scales. I added a gold anodized titanium lanyard tube (Flytanium, if I recall correctly), tumbled the face of the screw heads with abrasive to create a weathered look, and completed it with an MXG Gear Deep Carry clip.
It has been sharpened numerous times and has a very stable, very deep, pseudo-forced patina. I used it for small kitchen duty here and there for a month or so which slowly built the patina over time. It is currently hair splitting sharp with a semi-mirrored finish.
Does NOT have original scales nor lanyard tube but DOES have the original box. All in, I’ve got nearly $500 tied up in this knife. $240 OBO shipped.
