indeed you where right! new is new, like new is taken out of the box and opened a few times, carried is carried, used is used. Better luck next time Johns Fishy pictures always scream "warning" for me, as you can clearly see, the seller is capable of taking very detailed pictures. :confuse...

Spyderco Forumites Friends !
