Damascus

I am surprised it went for as little as it did.

If the seller would have polished up the blade some and taken better pics, it would have gone for more. Those will typically go closer to $200 at least.

And that buyer is highly motivated. I put in a bid on one a while back with a max that was $90 over the current bid and he still beat me.

Seems there is a definite trend of poor quality pics on ebay lately, when a knife isn't quite as good as the description says it is. Sellers don't want the defects shown. I guess sometimes they are just lousy photographers tho.... Sometimes just a roll of the dice.

Larry,
I think you just hit the nail on the head. It is too easy to get burned on ebay. If the photos don't accurately show the quality of the knife, I will not bid. The lesson learned here for serious sellers is to take time and put up good quality photos. It could mean a much higher selling point.

I as thinking Sambar with FG but after seing Larry's I think I'm going without the grooves. And I would get rivets for that 'old skool' look.
Groovy...

Think he's trying to marry his daughter off to me...good gene pool. But I'm "bonafide" as they say in "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou" and married already.
Thanks Leisure Suit Larry...
 
Yeah, :thumbup: for your new avatar, Goose:D. I think I'll get me one of them:eek: :D :eek:.

The weather here today is crappy, Mike K. might like it;).

So to get back to the topic of this thread:rolleyes:...I dug out my damascus Bucks and tried a new background.

The 112 is by Leroy, the middle from Bucks Custom Shop last year and the one on the left from the Bay when I didn't know any better:grumpy:. It was advertised as stag...well it is but it's elk, not the sandbar:p that we all know and love. Preston
 
Great blades, and excellent job on the background!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Hard to tell the diff in sambar and elk!

Thanks EEE & Pack Rat, used an old calendar photo. Would like to use something else/unique but don't know what, will just keep looking and trying different materials.

Goose, they are a N/S. Preston
 
Goose, I'm going to hold on to it...there's a guy here in CO that makes gun grips out of elk and I'm thinking of having him make a set for a pistol and/or a revolver I have. If'n I change my mind...or lose it:p...I'll let you know.Preston
 
Too bad I didn't know ya when I was working in that Golden town for the company a year or two ago that makes near-beer or when I commuted to Boulder/Longmont for a year and a half. I'm certain it might have come up MIA in my luggage somehow...damn gremlins.
 
Yes, Goose, it's a shame, I've lived out the on the plains for about ten years. Did alot of driving on I-25 for about five years when I was doing labs in retriever field trials. Bet we passed along the way at one time or another. Preston
 
OHCOMEON TRAX:eek: you know I don't get out/around much...ya going ta have to 'splain every darn thing to me. Preston
