    THIS KNIFE WAS PREVIOUSLY SOLD ON WINDY CITY KNIVES (EASILY LOOKED UP VIA GOOGLE, BUT EMAIL ME IF YOU WISH TO SEE THE SPECIFIC LINK
    ). I ACQUIRED IT DIRECT FROM REESE WEILAND WHOM HAD RECEIVED IT BACK INTO HIS POSSESSION FROM THE KNIFE'S PREVIOUS OWNER VIA A TRADE FOR ANOTHER OF HIS (REESE'S) KNIVES. WHILE IN HIS POSSESSION, MR. WEILAND GAVE THE KNIFE A SPA TREATMENT WHICH INCLUDED REFLAMING THE TITANIUM HANDLE AND UPDATING THE PIVOT SCREW. AFTER WHICH, I PURCHASED THE KNIFE FROM REESE.
    I HAD MIKE BRICKMAN,  WHOM IS A LOCAL KNIFEMAKER AND FRIEND, MAKE THE HEAVY-DUTY LEATHER BELT SHEATH FOR IT - WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE SALE OF THIS KNIFE.
    TAKEN FROM WINDY CITY KNIVES:
    "In late 2012, Reese Weiland and John Fitzen collaborated on a folding Crossada knife.  The Crossada Fighting Knife was designed by Master At Arms, James Albert Keating, a world renowned expert in the use of defensive edged weapons.  The Crossada was essentially a Bowie knife, with "hooks" for the guard, and designed to catch your "opponents" blade in a knife fight.  The Crossada folder collaboration knives were designed by John, and handmade and hand ground by Reese.  There were a limited number of these made - we believe only 20 were handmade.  They were massive folders, that functioned like a fixed blade when opened.
    Some of these knives made by John had top-and-bottom crossadas, and some had a bottom crossada only.  This particular knife is a...modification of their folding Crossada, having no crossadas.  Reese made this beast a bit more manageable to handle, by not having the width of the crossadas at the top of the handle..."
