Part 4 is here:

And Part 5 is here:

Everything is the same as in Parts 1-5, including that 100% of the proceeds will go to the pups, but the sale is now winding down so there are no new knives, but instead all the remaining knives from the previous Parts are consolidated here—with reduced prices. Plus I’ve added some nifty Bonuses as well, so you’ll see some screaming bargains here! Time to move these last nice knives and wrap up the sale so we can get to the best part of all—making the donations!

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

8/10/19 Final Update: It's a wrap! Please see Part 7 (Donations Made!) here: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads...-the-dogs-sale-part-7-donations-made.1678168/

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

For convenience sake, let me repeat the ground rules:

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

Details:

Prices include shipping, USPS 1st Class, w/ Delivery Confirmation. PayPal only. I'll cover the PayPal fees, so go ahead and list it as a sale of goods, not a gift.

1st unconditional "I'll take it", followed up with prompt payment. My PM/Conversations box fills up pretty quickly, so for payment info. or questions please e-mail me at: aforsythe4 (at) austin (dot) rr (dot) com

Once we have a deal, please post an "I’ll take it" in this sales thread, since that’s required for us both to leave feedback.

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:

I like the international character of BF and so I’m usually willing to jump through the extra hoops to do international sales. Unfortunately, I’m a little more pressed for time this year due to some medical issues at my house, so I’m going to have to make it U.S.A. only for this sale.

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

Now without further ado, let’s get on to the sixth batch of knives (and the Bonuses)!

Thanks for helping the pups!

Andrew

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

Let me begin with the Bonuses.

For each $30 in purchases, you get one bonus item. For example, if you buy one knife at $35, you get one bonus item. If you buy one knife at $35 plus one knife at $25, for a total of $60, you get 2 bonus items (as long as you buy them at the same time so I can ship them together). When you post your “I’ll take it”, please include which bonus item(s) you want.

Bonus #1: Black smooth leather pocket slip from CK (Collector Knives) (the one on the left) GONE

Bonus #2: Buffalo leather pocket slip from KSF (Knives Ship Free) (the one on the right) GONE

Bonus #3: Case leather pocket slips. You get two (2) of these with this bonus.
GONE

Bonus #4: Case leather pocket slips. You get two (2) of these with this bonus. GONE

Bonus #5: China made folder. Wood covers. Stout and solid little number—not many sub-3" (closed) knives tip the scales at 3.3 oz.! (includes box) GONE

Bonus #6: Japan made nail clippers. These are jumbo size nail clippers! WITHDRAWN

Bonus #7: Machined aluminum utility capsules from Lee Valley. Tops have o-rings and screw on tight to keep contents dry. Your choice of any two (2) of the ones pictured. GONE (the med. orange on top and the small silver at the bottom)

Bonus #8: The remaining two (2) aluminum utility capsules after Bonus #7 above is gone! (the med. blue and the large gold) GONE

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

And now on to the knives!

This first knife is part of a very generous donation from a good friend, BF member, and long time supporter of this sale. He is a first class “knife man” and a first class “dog man” who resides in the great state of Arizona and has asked to remain anonymous.

1) GEC #152118B&C Boys Knife in Gabon Ebony with Bail & Chain. Credit for the donation of this beauty goes not only to my unnamed friend but also to another great knife man with a kind heart, Gary Norton, who some of you in the knife world may’ve had the pleasure of dealing with. Thanks to them both.

Appears unused and unsharpened. Perfect medium pull with half stops. Beautiful Gabon ebony. A great example of this pattern.

Includes tube & wax paper. $88.00 $83.00 $79.00 $75.00 SOLD

2) Case Trapper #6254 CV in Chestnut Jigged Bone. CV (carbon) blades. This is the full size (4 1/8" closed) version. Unused and unsharpened with a couple of minor rub marks as is typical. Gorgeous chestnut covers. A beautiful example of this classic pattern.

Includes box & paperwork. $43.00 $38.00 SOLD

The next two are part of a donation from my generous friend and fellow member from North Carolina, who is a long time supporter of this sale, and owns a handsome rescue dog himself. All I can say is Thanks Again!

3) Schrade Uncle Henry Trapper (U.S.A.) #285UH in Stagalon (jigged synthetic). Schrade+ stainless blades. 3 7/8" closed. Sharpened and lightly used, with a little scratching on the tip of the spey and pepper spots on the inside of the springs. My friend remembers he bought this knife in 1997.

No box. $30.00 $25.00 SOLD

4) Victorinox Pocket Pal (Red). Appears unused and unsharpened with minor rub marks and handling marks. Thin and light with 2 excellent blades and feels great in hand. These are getting harder to find.

Includes box. WITHDRAWN

5) Case Mini Moose #62032 in Red Sawcut Bone. Stainless blades. 3 5/8" closed. Originally had a small spot on the edge of the clip blade from blade rap (where the blade hits the back spring when closed with enthusiasm), so I inserted a tiny piece of cork in the well under the tang to remedy that.
Sharpened to nice edges (which may’ve taken care of the blade rap, but I’ll leave the cork in place to be on the safe side). Minor blade rubs and very lightly used.

When I first got this knife in, I did a little review: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/a-small-moose-is-loose-case-mini-moose-mini-review.1466171/

Includes box & paperwork. WITHDRAWN

6) Case Single Blade Peanut #6120 in Orange Jigged Bone. Stainless blades. Not too many single blade Peanuts around (that I’ve seen at least). Originally had a small spot on the edge from blade rap (where the blade hits the back spring when closed with enthusiasm), so I inserted a tiny piece of cork in the well under the tang to remedy that. Sharpened down to a little straighter profile (which probably took care of the blade rap), with a needle point and a nice edge.

No box. $40.00 $37.00 $35.00 SOLD

7) Browning Canoe with Hardwood Covers. Stainless blades with very minor rubs. Handsome hardwood covers. Great tear shaped main. Sharpened to nice edges and used almost none. Beautiful vintage knife. Made in Germany.

No box. $42.00 $38.00 SOLD

8) Edge Mark Explorer Canoe with Hardwood Covers. Stainless blades with some blade rubs. Blades are generously sized for a Canoe. Hardwood covers are attractive. Sharpened to nice edges and used almost none. Good looking vintage knife. Made in Japan.

No box. WITHDRAWN

9) Case Trapper #6254 in Kentucky Bluegrass Jigged Bone. Stainless blades. Unused and unsharpened. Beautiful covers. An extremely nice example of this classic pattern. I assume this was some kind of limited edition because “193" is engraved on the clip blade.

Includes box & paperwork. $50.00 $45.00 $42.00 $38.00 $36.00 SOLD
