I've decided to become a knifemaker, and I need to free up really quite a bit of money - so I'm selling literally everything but my user keepers. It's a tough decision, but I've made a career choice and I don't want to endure the irony of scraping for pennies to get supplies and tools to make knives when I have a drawer full of knives I'm not using.
The terms of sale (Important parts in bold):
I hope that didn't seem too harsh, but I've done this a couple times and this just seems to make it considerably smoother for all involved parties. No surprises, no misunderstandings, no confusion.
Elishewitz Spectre - $400
Blue jigged bone scales, gold anodized titanium bolsters with a purple finger groove, blue anodized jewled titanium liners (it's really hard to get the right angle to take a picture of the jewel finish). Smooth pivot, solid lockup, entirely unused blade, knurled pivot and thumbstuds. The spine leading to the tip is rounded, thus giving the knife a literal needle point. The following information is from Elishewitz himself, who I contacted for more information upon receiving the knife:
"The Specter you got was made in the late 90's probably 97-98. It has an
ATS-34 blade."
(He's a man of few words.)
Blade: 3.75"
OAL: 8.5"
Brian Tighe Coon Blackout -$500 TRADE PENDING
There were only about 5-7 of these made, IIRC. This is a full blackout Tighe Coon with single standoff construction, which means the back is completely open from pivot to the end of the handle. Green tritium inserts in pyramid thumb studs. Black fluted BG-42 blade, black fluted titanium handles. Flips open smoothly with no wrist action, locks up solidly (Brian Tighe knows how to make a button lock), no play. Comes with custom zippered case.
Blade = 4"
OAL: 8.5"
The terms of sale (Important parts in bold):
- No lowball offers. That doesn't mean "I know you said no lowball offers, but" - it means no lowball offers. The reason for this is twofold; my PM inbox will fill up in about two minutes with ridiculous offers, and they're already at pretty good prices. Besides, knifemaking tools and materials aren't free. UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEND ME SOME HINT HINT
- Open to trades, but, please, no serrations, users, knives with play, knives at or under 3" of cutting edge, assisted knives, SOG, Emerson, or fixed blades.
- Payment should be prompt, or people with seconds/thirds/etc will get dibs.
- All items are listed with prices that assume paypal gift and include priority shipping with tracking. If you want to use goods/services (which is perfectly reasonable) please add 3.5%. If you send payment via paypal goods without adding 3.5%, I will refund the money minus the 3.5% that is automatically deducted and impossible for me to otherwise get back if I refund the full amount. (Basically, refunding a paypal goods payment in full costs me the 3.5%. I've been burned on this in the past, and it's happened way too many times.)
- I do not accept personal checks or money orders. Paypal only.
- ConUS only. Please refer to your local laws. 18 and older only.
- The first "I'll take it" followed by an email/PM gets it. If there isn't a post saying "I'll take it", the item is still available unless otherwise noted, so go ahead and send me an email/PM. Emails are far and away the most preferred method of communication.
I hope that didn't seem too harsh, but I've done this a couple times and this just seems to make it considerably smoother for all involved parties. No surprises, no misunderstandings, no confusion.
