Below are photos of some of the knives, i have this is the last batch. Bill Buchman was master tool maker of leather tools. Saddle makers now him well, he also made knives for a group of active navy seals, was featured in fighting magazine and more.

I do not own these, it is my job too move them and give the funds too his widow. The knives have an estiblished value on the internet. From minimum of $125 too $300 plus. The small knives are in the 120-150 range.

I did not price them since I am offering discounts, if consigned they would be discounted nearly in half, buy any knife and i reduce the price by 10%, buy more then 2 and i discount the price 25%. I will post all the prices tomorrow. There is twin set for $250. The large knives are $300. I take offers too.


Trading for zero ZT knives used and new plus cash - since i have too make up the cash. I am doing this for charity all proceeds go too Bill's widow.

All proceeds go too Bill Buchmans widow, all stamped with his BB off set mark.
any combo email me, my job is too move these. The money goes too Bill Buchmans widow.

Most knives are dead mint, only showing slight handling and age - these are Bills demos. This is the last of his knives the farm is gone.

Wood is cocabola, mesquite or ironwood. The filet is black micarta. the filet sheath did poke through and it was repaired too some degree. Sold as is. These knives are razor sharp, most shave hair easily these are tools not toys. They were made too be used, most have thin profile for cutting.

"Sorry to hear that Bill has passed. I have one of his knives purchased in the 1970s and it is my favorite. I am interested in the two knives on the top left and the knife on the bottom row, far left. Would it be possible to take a closeup photo of just these 3 knives positioned horizontally?

ok only 3 knives sold, the group that sonny wanted is very sweet! it is open as are the rest. i can wholesale them for the same price as i have before. again this is for bill's family.

i only get a cut above wholesale, after shipping ect. and i will consign for free. so yes, i might make a few dollars.
thx!`
 
i am keeping the large fixed on the bottom

taking dealer offers - these knives have an established retail. whole sale goes right too the family
 
First off, i am telling what i was told, second if i post stuff late at night i am very tired, third i have serious issue with seeing from too much time on computers - building and repairing.
Sorry for typos all you english majors!

Captain colornel or cornel what ever, I am doing this free for Bill Buchmans widow through his good freind. I bought the knives in Seal thread, the seal knives and fighters, and i have no idea other then the seal knives where gifts for a seal team. Bill was written up in the now closed fighting knife magazine, i think small ones in the seal post are examples. No one knows, when he died he left no info. His wife lost the farm, for real, and i said i help out. you want too help buy a knife, or 2 or all

For all know, the army guy gave the navy guys some knives - end of story - ask yourself the people who know.

The knives are razor sharp or close too it as you can shave with them - i know.

Above thread is just too lump all Bills knives into a single thread for reference for those who might want it - no, the knives on top are not for sale.
They are mine and boxed in a shadow box. The other knives are just show for future reference for someone who may have, want or know Bill.



I did not join this site for any other reason then too purchase knives, folders. I have many fixed blades for trade: Voorhis, Ruffin Johnson, Steve Powers, J Greco, Bill Cheatham, Jesse Davis, others. And too thank the people who have posted great info, and some really great details on their knife making skills and tricks.



All money's ( minus, paypal, shipping etc is going too Bill's Widow) I listed them on this site too give people here a discount the same as consignment or direct sales. I am not a dealer (only trade knives i bought i did not like as much as others similar - i only have 1 of the same knife in 2 colors slightly different size voorhis subhilt - so i do not buy extras for resale nor do resell knives), I did this as charity work. I will discount a large sale and i do have more that not yet listed. If your interested PM me. These will go too auction, then consignment and they are out my hands at that point. The sooner the better, you want 5 you get the same price as the established retail at wholesale.

PM me for the next batch, i post it when i have time. thx!

sold row1 knives: 1 2 3 paid and shipped
sold row 2 knife 4 waiting payment.
