This is Part 6 of my 6th Annual "Going to the Dogs" Sale. This will be the last "Part" to this sale—time to wrap it up (and I’m pooped!).

Part 1, which gives all the background on this benefit sale, is here:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/afaustin’s-6th-annual-going-to-the-dogs-sale-part-1-further-reductions.1591177/ (I’ve now closed Part 1 and relisted the remaining knives in Part 5.)


Part 2 is here:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/afaustin’s-6th-annual-going-to-the-dogs-sale-part-2-reductions.1592685/#post-18191575 (I’ve now closed Part 2 and relisted the remaining knives in Part 5.)

Part 3 is here:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/afaustin’s-6th-annual-going-to-the-dogs-sale-part-3.1594265/#post-18208915 (I’ve now closed Part 3 and relisted the remaining knives---with further reduced prices---here in Part 6.)

Part 4 is here:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/afaustin’s-6th-annual-going-to-the-dogs-sale-part-4-reduced.1595849/ (I’ve now closed Part 4 and relisted the remaining knives---with further reduced prices---here in Part 6.)

Part 5 is here:

7/23/18 Update: The remaining knives are WITHDRAWN.

Time to wrap this up. I'm totaling up the sales and communicating with the organizations about the donations (and possible matches). Thanks to all who have helped and stay tuned for the final tally and donation report!


7/28/18 Final Update: It's a wrap! Please see Part 7 (Donations Made!) here: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/afaustin’s-6th-annual-going-to-the-dogs-sale-part-7-donations-made.1600339/#post-18276454


Everything’s the same as stated in Part 1, including that 100% of the proceeds will go to the pups, but I’m offering up one new knife here in Part 6, along with relisting the remaining knives from Parts 3 & 4, with prices reduced even further. And I have a few Bonuses from Part 5 left to offer! (scroll to the end)

There are so many "Parts" to this sale, I know it gets complicated. But to simplify: all remaining knives are now listed only in Part 5 and here in Part 6.

For convenience sake, let me repeat the ground rules:

Details:

Prices include shipping, USPS 1st Class, w/ Delivery Confirmation. PayPal or m.o. only. I'll cover the PayPal fees, so go ahead and list it as a sale of goods, not a gift. (If you want insurance, let me know and I will figure your cost. Otherwise, I will not be responsible for items lost or damaged in the mail.)

Please understand that I have the right to sell or not sell to whomever I choose.

1st unconditional "I'll take it", followed up with prompt payment. For PayPal info. or questions, please e-mail me at: aforsythe4 (at) austin (dot) rr (dot) com

Once we have a deal, please post "I’ll take it" in this sales thread (if you haven’t already). The new BF software requires that in order for us to exchange feedback, which I think is important.

By buying these knives you are stating that you are at least 18 years of age, and otherwise in compliance with all applicable laws regarding them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

International Sales Policies:

1) I fill out the Customs forms accurately, and so I will list this as a sale/commercial transaction, not as a gift.

2) You assume responsibility for any mishaps with Customs or shipping.

3) We will agree on the manner and additional cost of shipping before finalizing the deal. Also, PayPal charges a higher fee on international sales, so I will approximate that and add it to your total.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now without further ado, let’s get on to the sixth and final batch of knives! Also, don't forget to check out the further reduced prices on the Part 5 knives, linked above. And scroll to the end to see the Bonus items!

Thanks for helping the pups!

Andrew

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1) Case #7215 Small Gunstock in Curly Maple. Not many of these around. 3" closed. Stainless blades with minor rubs. Long pull on main. Beautiful curly maple covers. Sharpened to nice edges and lightly used.

No box. $45.00 SOLD

2) GEC #13 Speaker Jack in Gabon Ebony. Like new with factory edges. Very nice Gabon ebony covers. Elegant lines on this knife with beautiful threaded bolsters. Medium pulls with half-stops. Weighs in at only 2.2 oz.

This is just a very appealing knife and, with its useful blade combination, would be a great EDC. (In the 1st pic, that is a reflection at the tip of the pen.)

Includes tube & wax paper. $95.00 $89.00 $82.00 SOLD

3) Khyber 2715 lockback in appaloosa bone. Made in Japan. New old stock with factory edge. Stainless blade. A stout little knife at 3 5/8" closed and 3.5 oz. Locks up solid with no play. Beautiful bone. Small gap in bone behind left bolster and a hairline crack by upper rear pin on mark side (see pics). Open/close is not as smooth as I'd like---needs to be broken in.

I have a special fondness for made in Japan knives of the 1980s and 90s, and this knife is a good example.

Includes cloth pouch. WITHDRAWN

4) A.G. Russell Rancher in Yellow Delrin. Appears almost new or very lightly used. Made in China (and A.G.’s China made knives are very nice indeed). 8CR13MoV blade steel.

No box. $25.00 $23.00 $22.00 (and if you price check on A.G.’s website, please know that he charges $8.95 for shipping) SOLD

5) 3-Pack of Frost (made in Japan) knives.
All are new old stock (new & unused):

(a) Scorpion with Frostwood scales. Nice 3 ½" closed jack, with original box. This one doesn’t say "Japan" on it but the ebay seller from whom I bought it (and who sells a lot of the old Japan made knives) assured me it is from Japan and it looks the part.

(b) Mini Trapper with Frostwood scales. 3" closed. Nice thin blades. No box.

(c) Mini Copperhead in appaloosa bone. 3 1/8" closed. No box. Very pretty bone on this one. Blades stick some on opening and closing but I haven’t cleaned, oiled, or worked them.

WITHDRAWN

Bonus Items

I’ve got a few fun Bonus Items left from Part 5 to offer up, and they are courtesy of my friend Ron (rdave here on BF). As I mentioned earlier, Ron has been a great supporter of this sale and has contributed generously in many different ways. Thanks again, Ron!

For every $40 in knife purchases, pick one bonus item (so, pick two for $80 spent, etc.) (And keep in mind that there are still a few available knives in Part 5, referenced at the beginning of this thread.) When you post your "I’ll take it", indicate which Bonus Item you want. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

Bonus #1: FoxHanx handkerchief (gold).
FoxHanx are not your common everyday handkerchief—they are something special. To learn more about these handmade beauties (and what they sell for!), Google "FoxHanx". (Please note: the blue/green one in the pic was taken in the Part 5 thread). Both FoxHanx are now GONE.

Bonus #2: Toy Multi-Tool. Perfect for a knife guy or gal’s child or grandchild! WITHDRAWN

Bonus #3: KnivesShipFree leather pocket slip. This is similar in length to the Case slips below, but will accomodate a slightly bigger knife as it’s wider. GONE

Darren, I'm sorry, only the gold FoxHanx was still available in this thread, and it was taken with the previous purchase. Apologies for the confusion---I should've made this more clear. I edited the post to clarify. PM sent.
