I have a few fixed blades for sale, need to make room.
FYI - For PayPal payments, I will not be able to ship until Monday. With PayPal, I can print the label, and drop the package off at the PO and not have to wait. For USPS money orders, it may be Wednesday before I can ship: the line at the local post offices (both branches I'm close to) are 1-to1-1/2 hours long, minimum. Sorry for any delay, guys; I wasn't thinking about the holiday rush. Anything paid for up to today has either shipped or is boxed and ready to go.

I'll let the pics show condition. I think the prices I'm asking are reasonable & fair; I'm open to fair offers, but lowball offers will be politely ignored.
Cattaraugus cleaver $20. SPF to rkmoore New & unused. 9-3/4" long overall; 1/8" thick, chisel-ground blade. Plated blade (chrome?). Neat old kitchen chopper from the post WWII era. Bernard Levine made an interesting comment on these here (post #2):

Cheaper Than Dirt Bowie $20. This one has been advertised by several internet sellers under various names. Basically, it's a thick-bladed clip-point with a coffin handle. I think the scales are rosewood, and they're shrinking. I bought this one to practice throwing, and got bored with it after a short time. The tip broke, and I ground it down to a stronger point. The sheath is actually much nicer than the knife.
Cold Steel Bush Ranger $50. SPF to jfirack Used & sharpened. Carbon V steel. Blade finish is stripped. No sheath. I love this knife, but I have too many others that get carried & used; this one just sits in the box.
The Smith & Wesson is gone.

R.H. Forstner #403-12" Butcher – $28. Used, needs sharpening. Made by Victorinox. We had a nice Russell butcher knife that I ruined; it was my wife's favorite knife. I bought this one to make amends. (She let me back in the apartment a week later.) We have several others that serve the purpose now. Good steel, nice rosewood handle. I have an A.G. Russell sleeve it will ship in.
Generic unlabeled kitchen knife free with the Forstner Used, and shows it. Unknown U.S. manufacturer; Bernard Levine commented that it might be Ontario. Carbon steel blade, beechwood(?) handle scales, carbon steel rivets holding the scales on. This one closely resembles the type made in bulk for some hardware stores, and were either very faintly marked or not marked at all on the knife itself (just the box they came in.) The blade will take and hold a good edge, but I haven't used or sharpened this one in several years. I'd keep it, but I have several other kitchen knives around the same size.
Terms:
- First "I'll take it" in this thread gets it, with email or PM follow-up.
- Buyer is responsible for adhering to all applicable laws regarding ownership of any knife you buy from me.
- shipping included in price; USPS Priority mail with delivery confirmation, and insurance if value warrants it.
- Shipping to U.S. addresses only.
- If payment is received by tomorrow (Friday), I might be able to ship tomorrow afternoon, but it may be Monday. I cut my right thumb pretty bad tonight, so my dexterity is pretty limited right now.
- I'll take PayPal or USPS money orders. If paying by PayPal, I'll eat the fees. My PayPal is cnroles(at)sbcglobal(dot)net. Do not send payment until I confirm.
