Its spring and time to rotate a few knives . The first is a relist and price reduction from a few weeks ago. It’s quite a rare collectible that should draw some interest in better times – A mint condition prototype Umnumzaan from Chris Reeve Knives. It has all the correct paperwork and original packaging from 2008 Blade show where it won Knife of the Year. It originally sold for $1,750 at the show and I’ll sell it here for $​SOLD, including PP and shipping CONUS.

Looking closely, you can see subtle differences in this knife and the regular production Umnumzaan models that came out later in 2008, such as the deeper handle grooves, a sharpened swedge, grooves extending onto the locking tab, and a second ceramic detent ball in the handle lock. CRK was still in the midst of the design evolution of the Umnumzaan during the 2008 Blade competition and these Prototypes had some special features that were both unique and innovative.

These next two showed up in an estate sale in Sequin Texas, both showing some wear. The first is a small Unique Graphic P. The second is a Large Unique Graphic Original Sebenza with a clip which had three initials carved into the presentation face. Both were almost certainly the work of Chris himself as he did all of the titanium carving and anodizing prior to 1996. I sent them into CRK last summer to have them restored, and Lisa did her magic on them. Most of the folks in the CRK sub-forum have seen the pictures of how she was able to cover the initials and bring the knives back to life. The large UG Original Sebenza now looks amazing, and I’ll let it go for $650 SOLD incucluding PP fees and shipping CONUS. The small UG P still completely original, only with a replacement box and birthcard. I’ll also let it go for $650 SOLD including PP fees and shipping CONUS.

Last for sale is an Al Mar SERE 2000 BLK that I picked up here recently. I’ve been wanting to try out the knife for some time, and while I like it I have enough EDC knives for now. It’s in excellent condition with only some minor scuffing on the G10. I'd easily rate the knife at 95% or better condition. The lock-up is rock solid and the action is silky smooth. The clip set up for right hand carry. The blade is VG-10 and quite sharp. I got a good deal on it so I’ll let it go for $125 ​SOLD including PP and shipping CONUS.

I've included the PP fees in the above pricing for buyer convenience, but if anyone wants to discuss other payment options I’m open to that via PM or email please.
