Up for sale today I have several nice ones. These are all used but in very good shape. They have some amount of minor blade scratching, rub marks, etc. I have sharpened twothe Parker and the S&Wbut not the others. The only one with a box is the A.G. Russell, as shown.
First a group shot:
　
1) A.G. Russell lockback (#A330WSB is on the box). Made in Japan. Smooth bone (one side has more coloration than the othersee pics). Its not stamped on the knife, but I believe it is ATS-34 steel, both because the previous owner had been told that and also because I have its twin (in quince wood) and it does have ATS-34 on the tang. Solid lock-up. 4" closed and very hefty at 3.8 oz.
I PMd A.G. about my quince version when I bought it last fall, and asked for any additional info. he could give me. He kindly replied and said they last sold this knife about 7 years ago for $85-$90 and it would be over $100 today, even if made in Taiwan. He thinks it mayve been made by Shataba, now long gone.
Unsharpened by me but appears to have the factory edge, which is actually quite sharp, as is often the case with A.G.s Japanese knives. Includes box. $75.00 SOLD
2) Case trapper #6254W. This is the full-size version in dark red jigged bone. 4 1/8" closed. Another hefty one at 3.8 oz. SS blades. Instead of the usual spey, this one has a wharncliffe secondary and is a little hard to come by.
Unsharpened. No box. $45.00 SOLD
3) Parker small trapper. Vintage knife, made in Japan. Black micarta with abalone eagle. 3 ½" closed. 3.2 oz. There is a small chip just below the eagles right claw (see pic). The pull is fairly stout but not a nail breakermaybe 7 or so on the clip and 6 on the spey.
This is a stone beauty. I have sharpened it and both blades have taken a very fine edge. No box. $45.00 $39.00 SOLD
4) Smith & Wesson small trapper. Vintage knife, made in Japan (Seki). Black jigged bone. 3 ½" closed. 3.1 oz. AUS-6 steel. Pull is moderate but it has great snap on closing. Has half-stops.
I have sharpened this one and the blades have nice edges. No box. $28.00 SOLD
　
5) Puma #231255 small lockback. Vintage knife (1996 per person I bought it from), made in Germany. Zytel scales. Stainless blade. Lockup is good but there is a tiny amount of vertical movement if you look for it. 3" closed. Very lightweight at 0.8 oz. Looks virtually new.
Unsharpened and appears to have factory edge (which is dull). No box. WITHDRAWN
