This one is still available, little price drop for anyone who is interested.
Listing up a rare one for your consideration! First "I'll take it" followed by a PM will get it. Don't hesitate to reach out with questions.
Hiking Buddy, guardless 3/32 A2, commando natural canvas micarta - $185 shipped with tracking and insurance
From my research I am the third owner of this one. The first owner used it a little bit and was the initial one to *mostly* remove the guard. The second did not use it, nor did I.
*I asked the guys at the Forge to finish removing the guard as there was still a small 'hump' left where the guard was. I would consider this knife in like new condition. It's super light, thin, and a rarity!
Thank you!
