Greetings,
I have the following fixed blades for sale. All prices include paypal fees and shipping
I've had these for a while, but it's time for them to go. It's hard to find current prices on some of these, so drop me a line if I'm way off base
---------------
Kabar 1221 - used, perhaps sharpened, at least stropped. Partial serrations. Discontinued model. The clip is sharpened, so this may be illegal where you live (check your laws). Handle has been sanded down to a slightly smaller circumference. Sheath is top notch and no major issues anywhere. It has great fit, and a secondary rubber strap to make sure the handle stays put when needed (a feature I wish more makers would adopt). The handle looks a bit roughed up but otherwise in pretty good condition considering it's definitely been around a while. These were notoriously stout blades that inspire confidence. Far superior to the models that replaced them, in my opinion. This is the perfect knife for pounding in tent stakes, ripping through cord to hang your pack with, opening a can of beans in a terribly manly fashion, and then fighting a bear by moonlight.
Asking $60 -> 50
Busse Sar 5 - Used, sharpened, handle sanded down to a smaller circumference (still too big around for my medium-ish hands) and traction lines were filed into the handle. Also glow-powder glue was used to fill in the hollow handle pins. Wear on blade coating, and handle coating was lost with handle reduction. No rust issues. Comes with 2 kydex sheaths, neither of which fit perfect, but both are plenty serviceable (the green one is actually quite decent as-is but small adjustments may be desirable depending on your tastes). You could easily take a heat gun/hair dryer/lighter to the sheaths and tighten them up in a spot or 2 if you felt the need. Fleabay has one for $500, Busse Collector lists $187. Here's a chance to get some INFI for cheap. Asking $old
Ahti Korpi - new. never carried, used or sharpened. I got a few puukko a while back and kept the ones I preferred. This one is (surprise) too big around for my tastes. Rather than sand it down I left it untouched. I have plenty others that fit me. These have great steel and are a perfect way to try out puukko or your scandi sharpening skills. 7.56" OAL, 3" carbon blade, stained curly birch handle. Asking $45 -> 40

The first person to post an unconditional "I'll take ____" in this thread gets the item(s). If i can save money shipping multiple items to the same address I'll pass that price difference on to you.
Paypal preferred, all fees included in price. CONUS shipping only, unless arrangements are made by email prior to final sale. I am willing to ship elsewhere for additional (actual) shipping cost and provided the buyer accepts all responsibility once the item leaves my hands.
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 until friday or saturday
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. No returns unless item was incorrectly described, it'll already cost me a lot to ship some of these.
Trade offers accepted, but my interests are fairly limited. I already have too many knives (blasphemy!)
