Read the condition note below before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an Alan Blade Knives PUC, a small fixed blade with roughly a 2.75 inch high carbon blade. It sold for $155 new.

High carbon steel corrodes when it is stored without oil, and this one has been. It is not pitted through and it is not structurally compromised, but it will never look new again and you should not expect it to. No drop damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigh carbon steel is a tradeoff people make on purpose. It takes a keener edge than stainless and it comes back on a stone with almost no effort. What it asks in return is that you keep it dry and oiled, which is the part that did not happen here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a small maker piece that does not turn up often, and the price reflects the condition rather than the rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Used, visible corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: PUC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: Approximately 2.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Steel: High carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: No sheath, no box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop Damage: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Retail: $155\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Back Door\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Back Door is where returns, blems, one-offs, and trade ins go.
