Selling all 3 as a package deal - not selling individually. SOLD - SOLD - SOLD !!!
1) Case American Workman Blue Synthetic SodBuster. This is the full-sized 'Buster - 4 5/8" closed. 4138SS. This knife doesn't have any blade play when open, but isn't centered in the liners when closed. Not rubbing on the liners, though. It came to me new last month with some blade play - I gently hammered the pivot pin with a small bolt to tighten it up, and that worked, but there are small marks on the pivot pin on both sides where the bolt struck. If this is a problem, don't buy this package of knives.
2) Queen Country Cousin. Sodbuster Jr. sized - 3 5/8" closed. 70B. Black composite handles. D2 steel. This knife has some blade play in the open position, and isn't centered in the liners when closed. Not rubbing on the liners, though. I have NOT attempted to fix the blade play on this knife.
3) Kissing Crane Brown Mule. This is the Medium sized one - I believe they call it 4" closed; my measurement has it at 4 1/8" closed. Hardwood handles. Carbon steel blade. Brass pins and liners. This one has very, very slight blade play when open, and is very slightly off-center when closed. No fix attempted. The "Brown Mule" logo on the blade is barely visible - I personally don't like designs or words on my blades, so I scrubbed the heck out of it with BarKeepers Friend and got most of it removed.
Sorry for being long-winded :yawn:, but I'm trying to be honest in my descriptions by pointing out the imperfections. These imperfections came that way from the factory, so even if you buy them new, it's a crap shoot if you get a knife that's tight and centered.
Having said that, these are all nice knives - very, very lightly used/sharpened. They are NOT pieces of crap that are all scratched up and beat to heck. They all 3 look like new, except for the marks on the pivot pin on the Case, and removal of etching on the Brown Mule blade.
$49.00 for all three, shipped in the USA; paypal please! Knives are SOLD!
Thanks for looking!
