Moving some out of the collection. I will do my best to describe each of these knives. All prices are PayPal FF/Zelle shipped in US with priority shipping. If you would like to pay via PayPal GS, please add 3.5%. Feel free to ask any questions. Thank you for looking!
1) GEC 73 Hoof Pick Bocote - SOLD $230 - I believe GEC only made 24 of these back in 2011 from parts leftover from 2009. So while this one is stamped 09, it appears on the 2011 production list. Very strong snap, beautiful Bocote covers. Unique knife that probably won’t ever be made again. Looks like it has been carried, and in and out of the tube a lot over the years (paper is thrashed, I will try to find a new sheet to include). Has some blade rap as well from previous use, I always let mine down easy for this reason. Overall though, great example of a harder to find one. This one has a replacement tube and cap. No COA. More photos here: 2) GEC 83 Tascosa Bocote - SOLD $130 - New in tube, never carried or used. Nice grain on the Bocote. Minimal up and down play which was very common on this run. More photos here: 3) GEC 38 Bloodwood - SOLD $150 - New in tube, never carried or used. Great knife, just like the jigged bone more. More photos here: 4) Case/Bose Arkansas Hunter Chestnut Jigged Bone - SOLD $325 - light carry/use, great snap, big knife. Only reason I am rating this a light carry/use is because there are some faint lines on the bolsters in full sun/light. Otherwise it looks near new. I got this one secondhand. More photos here: 5) Case/Bose Norfolk Antique Bone - SOLD $260 - Selling this one cheap as I just can’t bring myself to charge retail for this odd/bad/mismatched looking bone. I overpaid for this one, it was my first Norfolk and had to have it, this is back when these never popped up. Got it from a dealer that is known for overcharging. Couldn’t view it before purchase, live and learn. I have two others now that are keepers. This one would be a great re-cover or dye project, or for a tear-down to get the specs on an awesome Bose pattern, or maybe you just want a nice user. I just don’t want to invest the time into it, so I’m hoping someone can breathe some life into this otherwise snappy and great pattern. Note: the secondary blades on the Norfolk pattern are nail breakers. More photos here:
