Hard to top this one:  Chris Reeve Jereboam MK1 in mint condition with original sheath, box, birth card and paperwork.  One piece A2 Tool steel with hollow handle and aluminum butt cap.  8 7/8" blade with sawback.  Knife is as near mint as I can imagine.  I do not see any scratches, scuffs, wear marks, signs of use or sharpening.  The knife looks like it just came for Chris Reeve.  Original leather sheath in excellent condition.  Original box, birth certificate and paperwork.  I have had many CRK's from South Africa and this one is as pristine as any I have ever seen.  Box has had a couple stickers that covered up the US importer name (BlackJack).. The inside of the box has some coloration from the black leather sheath being stored in it, as well as the paperwork.  BUT - still in excellent condition.

Some fellow has a used and scuffed Jereboam on the "Bay" asking $12,000.00 without box or paperwork.  Others floating around have replacement paperwork and have been "refurbished".  This is as new.  Serial number 51X  born on August 2X, 1989.

Real deal here!
