I was at Blade in 2005. Angelo Solino (RIP) had a Low S Model 5 with a Brown Micarta handle. He gave me his price, I walked the knife to Perry, to get his opinion and he offered me $700.00 more than Angelo was asking. I said no thanks to Perry’s offer and went back and gave Angelo the cash. Of course I still have the knife.
The last year Perry attended Blade, we roomed together. We talked about that knife and what a good deal I got!
