I bought this back in 99 when I started my career. I carried it for about a year before putting it into a drawer where it has lived since. The tip of the blade isn't in the best shape as you can see from the pics. I don't know how Spyderco's customer service is but I know a couple of other knife makers would repair (resharpen) for next to nothing. It is also missing one of the clip screws. $50 FTF on the NE side of Indy or $55 shipped.
