For one reason or another, and sometimes no reason at all, these just aren't getting the attention they deserve, so off they go.
To avoid confusion and possible hard feelings, the first to post an unconditional "I'll take ____" in this thread gets the item.
Since one mans "modifications" are sometimes another mans "what the hell did you do to it?" there may be a little wiggle room in some of these prices, but I have tried to price them fairly. Don't bother sending outrageously low-ball offers though, I will not reply and they will likely land you on my ignore list.
Paypal preferred, all fees included in price. CONUS shipping only, unless arrangements are made by email prior to final sale.
I will try my best to ship quickly, but due to my work hours and location there's a possibility I will not be able to ship anything for up to a week (on or before Sept. 11)
By purchasing any item, the buyer agrees that they are of legal age to own and purchase knives, and are in full compliance with applicable laws regarding shipment of knives to their location.
I reserve the right to refuse sale at my discretion, without explanation.

If I can save money on shipping multiple items to the same location I will pass the savings on to you.
Possible trades: rodent solution, guardian 3, 3v fixed blades, large 21 Insingo, spyderco Roc, good quality small folders (3-3.5")
I'm sure there's others I had in mind, I'll add them when I remember

Apologies for crappy pics
The knives:
Calavera Cutlery 3.25" 3V El Patron - 2nd owner, carried and used, but never abused. 3v shaving sharp. Possibly sharpened at some point but there are no significant marks besides those from normal use, a few snail trails and scuffing of the blade finish, moreso on the presentation side than reverse. This is one of the original versions, hand ground and hand shaped handle, a true custom. It has the old Robertson USA stamp, but it's hard to see in the pics with the dark wash. Pardon some minor dust prints on handle. I also just this moment noticed a rust speckle or 3, so I hit it with another light coat of mineral oil. I live in the desert so this has never really been a problem, but it hasn't been pulled out in quite some time. They're not obvious, but do exist. This is no museum piece, but it is a solid, full custom folder in one of the best knife steels ever developed. Come with just knife (there were no tubes or other packaging with it).
$500 or best offer - SOLDF
Koster Nessmuk - 1095 scandi grind, lightly carried and used, still shaving sharp. 9 1/2" OAL, 5" blade, 1/8" thick. shows regular wear from a trip or 3. Only minor note is that one night, after a few (too many) frosty beverages I decided I didn't like how high the sheath sat, so I cut the stitching on the top fixed-point of the belt loop, flattened out the loop, and sewed it back on higher up with string in a semi-random inebriated pattern. Also glued the belt loop down in that position, it's not going anywhere. Sadly, it had a minor glue lump or two that poked me, so I glued some white tape down on top of that. Yeah, I know, not my best work, but it's completely functional, solid, and more comfortable now. Cool knife, I just again have too many others that usually end up filling this role instead. Pardon some dust prints on the back of the sheath, they're impossible to avoid here sometimes.
$old
Graham ringed tanto, with fighter ring. 154cm, used and carried, some wear marks. Comes with Graham leather sheath with pocket clip on back, mosaic pins and liners. Filework on spine
SOLD
Small LaconicoUtility knife- 3 1/2" 01 blade, 3/16" thick, OAL- 7". Black paper micarta handles, near mint, couple of very light spots on blade. Comes with Rays black leather sheath.
$old
D. W. Childress knife - with very nicely fitted Childress sheath. 440C, 3-1/8" edge (not blade), 7-1/2" overall. 1/8" thick right in front of bolsters (the thickest part). One of his older knives, never used or carried, but could use a good sharpening in my opinion. Cherry burl handles, brown micarta bolsters, tapered tang, red liners with black pinstripes, and nifty red-orange pins that kind of light up in the sunlight. If I had to nit-pick I'd point out that the liners on one side have a very slight mismatch right at the bolsters where they were cut (I'm not sure why a single solid piece wasn't used, it appears the bolsters and burl handle parts both have their own separate liners), and the edge bevel gets a little bit higher near the tip, but a good sharpening would fix that too. You probably wouldn't notice either issue unless someone pointed them out. This was one of his very first offered here, and for the features offered at his prices they're impressive knives and a real steal. The sheath is perfectly wet-fitted, one of the best I've seen or felt, and I really love those "skylight" (my word) handle pins he uses. I'll probably pick up another one from him someday, but I could use the funds instead at the moment.

"Doc" Shiffer punch knife. Unknown steel and coating. Coating does have noticable scuffing from the sheath
