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 strong 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.

and Custom Knives for sale - http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...hiffer-punch-Laconico-Graham-ringed-tanto-mor
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:
TOPS baghdad bullet - used, sharpened, awesome. I carved out a small portion of the blade base to allow a full 4 finger grip on the handle and reformed the sheath. Nice little setup and I love these little bullet-proof TOPS knives (no pun intended) but I have more than will fit in my thingy and this is one that gets little use. Lets try. . .
$ gone
Newt Livesay Woo tanto- chisel ground, used, sharpened, significant coating wear near the edge. This one has been around longer than some of our members I'll wager. Light convex on presentation side, small, not-quite-micro bevel on reverse. OD green paracord katana wrap over black flat-wrap, glued at various places to make it super solid. Long discontinued and a real piece of knife history. Hand ground by Newt. Newt was the first to bend kydex as a sheath material, among other things. Deep "LIVESAY" stamp on ricasso, jimping on spine. I have another, with micarta handles by the man himself, so off this backup goes. It's hard to find prices on these anymore, so lets try. .
Sold
Spyderco Streat Beat - never used, carried, or sharpened. I tried to take a little of the rattle out of this sheath (these were really quite loose) by heating it, but. . . you apparently can't heat and reshape Boltaron like you can kydex. Sheath is a bit tighter but not great, retention is good, but there's still some rattle. The base of the blade also has some light "shmutz" from the sheath that will probably buff out easily, but is visible as-is. The sheath also looks a tiny bit "charred" for lack of a better word, right around the opening, but it probably looks worse in the pictures than it really is. Otherwise new. This one just didn't grow on me like I'd hoped it would.
$100 SOLD
Anza - of some sort. Black diamondwood (?) handle, scary sharp original edge, possibly stropped, never used, carried or sharpened. Roughly 3-inch edge. Fantastic kydex sheath made by another BF member that has one of the most satisfying and secure "snaps" to it I've ever heard or felt. paracord tassle on sheath for easy extraction of knife. I have plenty of other Anzas, so off this one goes. fantastic knives.
$45 shipped OBRO - SOLD SPF
Anza vs. Delica vs. Ruler
Becker Izula Eskabar - 1095, forced patina, mirrored convex edge, both of the latter freshly done. It came with full orange handles that were a bit slippery for my taste, so I wrapped them in grip tape and dunked the handle in black Plasti-dip. Both/all 3 of these handle coatings could be quite easily removed if needed. Feels good to me, but my necker drawer is overflowing and something has to give.
$35 shipped OBRO - SOLD SPF
Boker Collection 2011 - never used, carried, or sharpened, but heavily modified. 1/4-inch thick 440c steel. This thing is a beast. Rounded the handle so normal folks can actually hold it (quite well done, if I might say), turned the blade-catcher into a usable choil, rounded the butt, wet-formed the sheath (it did lose a tiny bit of the black "paint" in places), shortened the guard to something reasonable, evened out the spine grind. . . uh. . . I think that's it. It turned out very well in my opinion, and feels much better than stock (except the sheath, it looks used now, but you can actually get the knife in and out). This would make an awesome camp knife, I just have too many others that fill this role. Lets try. .
