Hey all!



I have some really special offerings today. I'll be making two posts. Prices includes shipping with tracking to the continental US, but will ship anywhere at buyer's expense. Payment via PayPal to vandelay74 at hot mail dot com. Reasonable offers will be entertained, but I'm interested in trades right now.

Kyle Royer M.S. Damascus Hunter

5" Blade 10" OAL

I haven't seen ANYTHING from Kyle come available on the secondary market in the last few years. Now's your chance to get your grubby hands on a beaut from one of the greatest makers of our time.

This knife is perfection as you'd expect. Gorgeous ebony with great character. Intricate and beautiful damascus. Grinds, plunges, swedges, handle - all perfectly symmetrical. I've included a pic from Caleb to see it in its best light, and also included some crappy ones. This stunner is dead mint, dhas never been used, and stored since purchase in July 2013.

Kyle Hanson Damascus Field knife

4.5 " blade 9" OAL

Great and useful knife from Kyle. I can't remember the steels. The burl has gorgeous figure and chatoyance.. This has seen light use and has some patina and a couple light dings on the handle shown in one of the pics. Never sharpened. Comes with tooled leather pants from the great Paul Long. Your opportunity to get a great user from a great maker at a great price!

Cliff Parker Sylvester and tweety mosaic damascus with MOP

2 7/8" blade 6 7/16" OAL 3.5" closed

A great and whimsical dress knife from the extremely talented and always sunny Cliff Parker. If you've never had a chance to own his folders you're missing out! His precision is second to none. The mosaic damascus blade, backstrap and bolsters are in a sylvester and tweety pattern and well executed. I don't remember the steels. Gold MOP is on fire and featured on both the scales and the thumb stud. Fileworked anodized titanium liners, symmetrical plunges, centered blade, early and tight lockup. Lightly and very infrequently used and carried but shows no sign of use. Never sharpened.

Craig Brewer Jigged Bone Barlow with file work slipjoint

2 5/16" blade 5"13/16 OAL 3 3/16" closed

A great little knife from one of my favorite slipjoint makers. Ruple trained and inspired, this is a Texas slipjoint through and through! His work is so precise. Some kind of stainless steel. Long pull. Centered blade. Fileworked liners. Really easy pull, probably about a 3 - definitely pinchable. Never sharpened, this one has been carried and used and its asking price, diminutive size, and slim profile scream for you to do the same!

SOLD

Alan Davis Little Cutter with Maple burl

2" blade 4 7/8" OAL

Bought this from Alan way back before he was a star! Great figuring on the maple burl. Fancy pin. Textured flats have taken on some rust but I think it's charming and adds to the look :) This great little cutter has never been sharpened and comes with a maker made sheath.

Mike Zscherny wharncliffe trapper Slipjoint

2 1/2" blades 6 1/4" OAL 3.5" closed

This was bought in 2013 or 14 back when mike was exclusively a slipjoint maker. His talents are all on display here in this slipjoint. Centered blades, great walk and talk, premium stag, seamless backspring. Has seen light carry and even lighter use.

Kerry Hampton Coke Bottle Slipjoint

3 3/4" blade 9 7/16" OAL 5 1/4" closed

This is a big honkin knife!. Anyone who followed Kerry or the Boses (at whose side he trained) on the forum knows how hard it is to get a knife perfect with all this real estate but Kerry pulls it off. Everything is symmetrical, dead center blade, seamless backspring, looooooooong pull and swedges add the drama. Classic ebony scales have a check on the front side but the knife is still rock solid. Brass pins and D2 steel on this prototype.

Did I mention it was big? Strong pull, probably 7 or 8, possibly a nail breaker but lots of blade accessible for the pinching. Authoritative walk and talk. This is a collector- quality, hard use, working knife that's never seen the inside of a pocket. Belongs on a ranch somewhere :)

Dead mint with the exception of the check.

Not sure if Kerry makes knives anymore, and they rarely come up for sale. Chicken eye and coon finger this one before it's too late.

Jared Oeser Cocobolo and micarta lockback shadow zulu slipjoint

2 7/8" blade 7 1/8" OAL 4" closed

The inimitable Jared Oeser makes some of the most precise folders out there. everything is dead center symmetrical. Great walk and talk. Contoured scales make this slim as it needs to be. The cocobolo has darkened over time and looks great with the black paper micarta "bolsters".. This one has been carried, lightly used, and never sharpened. Get a great user from one of the very best.

Asking $915
