Need to exchange some steel for cash, so here are some custom knives to move on. All are unused, in original condition. All are substantially below original cost.

Prices are net to me including shipping to the US – i.e. you cover PP fees, send PP gift or check. Feel free to make offers, includiing for multiple purchases (I have other production knives sales threads). But please note that I’m not looking for trades at present, and please understand if it takes me a little while to respond – I do work for a living.

First to post I’ll take it, gets it. Follow up with an email for payment details.

Nathan (The Machinist) Carothers 8” Shiv / Fighter with Dave Brown kydex sheath and teklok. This one is in black canvas micarta, and is a rare variant because the first inch of the top edge is sharpened for extra penetrating power. Nathan hasn’t made any of these recently, and it could be a long wait to get one from him. $300. SOLD

Fantastic pair of knives from Eliot Maldonado – a 9 1/2” chopper in 5160 forged by Joe Carlton and a 3 5/8” san mai utility/hunter. Both are handled in mammoth ivory with bolsters. The small knife has san mai bolsters, the larger one has file-worked liners. More details are in the original sales threads. $500 for both.
