This knife was made by Joe Knipstein in Arlington, Texas. The knife, a coke bottle shape, is 5 3/4 inches long when closed and 9 ½ inches long when the main blade is fully opened. The blade is a slip joint and it has a very nice walk and talk. The bolsters are nickel silver and the blade is 154CM, the serial number is 002. The name Knipstein is engraved on the main blade. There are no cracks around any of the pins and no shrinkage from the bolsters. The blade sits deep and well centered, no peeking. The knife will be shipped in a zippered pouch for added protection. The reflections on the blades and bolsters are from my camera, they are not on the knife. Due to the grading system of some recent buyers, I am no longer listing knives as "Mint". This knife comes pretty close though, never used, carried or sharpened.
