John Lisack Custom #9 Neck Knife/Belt Knife

I'm surprised maker John Lisack would send such a seriously flawed knife to Redbeard, not inform of problem, & expect him to sell it at full $139.99 price. Expand to max 1st photo & look at ricasso. That bright mark just above brass guard is an increasingly deep trench in blade from midline to spine. Not noticeable in pics, but the entire blade is actually tilted somewhat forward. Too bad, as the otherwise pristine blade is an authentic Finnish Lauri 84-mm high carbon carving one, & ergonomic handle of 2 woods having diffent colors & patterns features emerald green fiber spacers between them, making for a great-looking medium-size puukko. Soft, pliable, med-dark-brown sideseam sheath is easy to convert from neck- to waist-carry, as extra-long leather lanyard is threaded thru 2 holes at top, making pouch lay flat against body either way. I returned rig to Redbeard, who of course apologized for missing flaw & readily refunded the $139.99. That would have been a really good price were the puukko perfect.
