I'm pretty stoked!!!
Got an AWESOME deal (less than $200 including shipping) and it's in awesome shape.
I JUST sent the funds away but it should make it here by mid next week.
Here is a couple pics from the seller,

I will post some pics of my own as well as initial impressions when it arrives!!

under 200$? That freaking amazing. Even the second generations are going for like 300$ if you can find them. saw one on ebay the other day for 400$ I think.

Congrats, SJ, Ratweilers are AWESOME knives

If it's going to get there by next week the seller must be Canadian too.

Congrats on a great deal. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
