I found it available in several places and connected with the identical twin of yours on an Ebay listing for a cutlery supply company and snagged one at the magic price. Most of the folks, retail and wholesale and auction had the model but with a different darker scale. I like yours because it will show me instantly when it bites me. :D and it is handsome in form and function the spirit of nice tools. Thanks for the great tip. Dennis

Dennis, I got mine from ebay as well. I usually look for the cheapest price with free shipping.
I think you will like it. It's lightweight but, solid. The blade comes razor sharp and the spear point is sharp as well. The blade will be a bit stiff to deploy at first. I usually loosen the pivot screw and then tighten it up till the blade has no side to side movement when deployed. At the same time, the deployment is smoother. I will deploy the blade a thousand times during the day with new folders just to break it in. Once the blade breaks in, I will slightly tighten the pivot screw a bit to remove any side to side movement after breakin.
If you are in need of a really light great blade, let me know.......I can send you one of my top three favorites of all time. It is also a Kershaw.
