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.

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. $400 for both.

Huge forged Joe Carlton chopper in 5160. This has a 14" blade and a hand-and-a-half handle (21" in total). The blade is about 0.22" at the widest, and is quite nimble for the size. If you want a real chopper, this is it. I'm including a 3", D2, hollow ground knife with tapered tang by Zander Knives, which I think complements the chopper well. $300 for the set.

Mark Condos fighter, D2 blade of 3/16" stock with robust convexed edge, beautiful ironwood burl handle, brass and mosaic pins, soldered brass guard, tooled sheath by knife maker (Mark mostly makes sheaths these days - Condos Leather) - $250
Cutting edge length is just a touch over 6", total length is 11.5", balances very nicely on the first finger. My photos don't do this knife justice and I won't be too sad if it doesn't sell. There is a little protectant on the blade, which is why it doesn't look clean.
