Let me guess. A dude named Andrei from London?
Not this time! I did expect that when I saw the listing, but it's coming from Bath. I think it might be someone else on this very thread.
The Viscaria Myth is pretty interesting in itself. Obviously it's a popular blade, and original ST handles are super rare, and then we have the separate phenomenon of the Black Tag, so combined together we have Old Black Tag ST Viscarias carrying a massive premium (far more than, say, Schlager Carbon Black Tags).
But now Butterfly have changed their tags (and introduced the hologram insert), we suddenly have Old Silver Tag. Will we have this every time Butterfly change something? A new category, with a new invented premium price? Now we have an L-series with box for almost £500? It's just opportunistic nonsense.
And coming from the other direction, we have road who can guarantee, errr, something about the new version while adding a premium of his own. Good build quality? Protection against forgery? What? Just buy from your local BTY dealer for less.
There is an amazing bubble around the Viscaria. It seems to have a life of its own.
