- Baeocystin 10y agoI'm not much of a collector, but I have always wanted one of those. Beautiful design.
- prezjordan 10y agoFWIW if you're not collector you can find some with a repaired handle for cheap! They'll pop up on eBay every once in a while.
- Baeocystin 10y agoThanks for the heads up! I had not realized that the handle was a common point of failure, and such a thing (if properly repaired ) wouldn't bother me in the least. Any recommendations on what particular sub-model to keep an eye out for?
