I have up for sale today six Browning knives, all Japanese made, and one Boker Evergreen.
First up, the Brownings. I had previously owned one of the little Japan made Brownings, a Model 306, and knew how nice they are. When I lucked into a chance to buy a small lot of six of these small (3 1/8" closed) Japan made Brownings, I jumped at it. They were all used, in good condition (except for the blade scratching on #4) below), and none came with a box. Each one got a mini-spa treatment: clean and oil, polish, and sharpen. The one exception is the Model 530 stag trapper (slipjoint), which was in excellent condition and I left it as is.
1) Model 530 Mini-Trapper in stag (slipjoint). Very nice stag. Clip and spey blades with satin finish. Moderately easy pull, what I would call about a 3-4. These are no longer shown on the Browning website, but the nice folks at Browning told me they were last made around 2005.
No box. SOLD
2) Model 307 Lockback in stag. Mirror finish AUS-8A blade. Locks up tight. Info. on the Browning website: http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/knives/detail-historic.asp?cid=322&tid=307&fid=008G&cattype=322307
No box. WITHDRAWN
3) Model 306 Lockback in (lighter/yellow-ish) quince wood. Mirror finish AUS-8A blade. Locks up tight. Info. on the Browning website: http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/knives/detail-historic.asp?cid=322&tid=306&fid=008G&cattype=322306
No box. WITHDRAWN
4) Model 306 Lockback in (darker) quince wood. Mirror finish AUS-8A blade. Locks up tight. Info. on the Browning website: http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/knives/detail-historic.asp?cid=322&tid=306&fid=008G&cattype=322306
This one's blade was pretty scratched up, and I had to work on it a good bit. The mirror finish is now more of a "homemade" satin. I also sharpened it extensively, and the blade is a tad narrower as a result (but sharp).
No box. WITHDRAWN
5) Model 305 Lockback in (darker) cocobolo wood. Mirror finish AUS-8A blade. Locks up tight. Info. on the Browning website: http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/knives/detail-historic.asp?cid=322&tid=305&fid=008G&cattype=322305
No box. WITHDRAWN
6) Model 305 Lockback in (lighter/red-ish) cocobolo wood. Mirror finish AUS-8A blade. Locks up tight. Info. on the Browning website: http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/knives/detail-historic.asp?cid=322&tid=305&fid=008G&cattype=322305

And the Boker:
7) Boker Evergreen Copperhead in olive wood. Very pretty wood. Solingen, Germany. #141 of 500. 3 3/4" closed. Mirror finish 440C blade. Moderately easy pull, about a 3-4. Sharpened and lightly used. I bought it new but it came with a rounded point, so I have made it pointy.
Includes nice presentation box, paperwork, and red nylon pouch. SOLD
