I now have pictures of the Siegles and the Schneider and a few others that I can email.
-I have a Bill Siegle 6" recurve blade camp knife that I got in a trade, 1/4" full flat grind of 5160 (that you can see the temper line on),black micarta(I think,maybe G10) handles,it is very similar to his Hoodlum but with a little more recurve,not as much guard to the handle,the handle has more gentle flowing curves and is black,kydex sheath with techlock, never carried,used, or sharpened etc.,pic.s available that I can email
-An early Bill Siegle 8" bladed(with circular saw blade Siegle logo) Bowie,walnut handle,kydex sheath,was told it was not used but had been sharpened,has a few small gray areas on the blade and some light sheath scratches,pic.s available that I can email
-a discontinued NIB ATS34 George Lainhart Special Forces Jungle Machete he had produced by United Cutlery.This is a very nice production version of his custom machete, and one of the few machetes anywhere made of 3/16" ATS34.
-another discontinued ATS34 George Lainhart Special Forces Jungle Machete he had produced by United Cutlery.This one is a little used,has some finish wear,but definately not hurt.
-an older version of the Cold Steel Trailmaster with the heavier convex edge grind,unused,unsharpened,etc.in box,it has a couple of small gray areas on the blade and the brass guard needs shined up a little but its a great looking big knife.
-an unused discontinued Cold Steel Special Projects Warhead
-2) unused Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel
-a new in box(but the box is not in good shape) carbon steel Sharpfinger
-a very slightly used Livesay Woo,may have been sharpened and has sheath wear
