I did this last year (actually Dec. of 2012): http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...ot-Christmas-Sale-Sale-Over-amp-Donation-Made, and it was fun and a success so I'm going to do it again. We are dog lovers in my family, always have been, always will be. I do what I can to support our local Austin Humane Society, which does excellent work for the pups (and other critters): http://www.austinhumanesociety.org/ At the conclusion of this sale, along with the two related sales referenced below, I will donate the total gross proceeds to the AHS. I'll post the receipt here in the thread, to show I kept my commitment and didn't blow it on knives! I ran this by our friendly neighborhood supermod before I did the first one, and he kindly gave me the green light (thanks, Mike). So, make a buy and help the pups!

Up for your consideration, we have:
First, a group shot:
Please note: These knives have been sharpened to a nice edge and lightly used. They have some minor blade scratching, rub marks, etc. The carbon knives have patina. I take good care of my knives and generally use them lightly, but these are used knives.
Thanks.
1) GEC Northfield #792213 Workhorse in Blood Red Jig Bone. Nice moderate pull on both blades. No half stops. Sharp and an excellent slicer. I smoothed out the sharp tang and it is now more comfortable in hand and in pocket. I also rounded the spine of the coping blade a bit.
Includes tube. $65.00 Now $59.00 SOLD
2) GEC Tidioute #152112 STL Boys Knife (Spear) in Ebony Wood. Moderate pull and half stop. I smoothed out the sharp tang and it is now more comfortable in hand and in pocket. I did a quick review of it and a companion Boys Knife here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1085674-Ebony-amp-Ivory-(-15-Boys-Knives)
Includes tube. $50.00 SOLD
3) Case Medium Stockman in Bermuda Green jigged bone #6318 SS. I lowered the kick on the sheepsfoot and also took a bit off the spine, and it now rides lower and is more comfortable when using the other blades.
Includes box. $30.00 SOLD
4) Case Humpback Stockman in Pocket Worn Harvest Orange jigged bone #63046 SS. I changed the spey into a nice pen, and the sheepsfoot into a semi-wharnie so it would ride lower. The latter operation intruded a bit on the nail nick, though it still opens just fine.
Includes box. $30.00 SOLD
5) Case Sowbelly in Antique Jigged Bone #TB 6139 SS. This is a hard-to-come-by single blade Sowbelly.
Includes (worn) box. $50.00 SOLD

I moved these last two over from my companion "dog sale" thread in "Production Folders", referenced above, as I think they may be more appropriate here.
And see: Special Combo Deal: at the end!
6) Kershaw Indian Ford Model 2155. This is the earlier Kai/Japan made version, not the current Chinese version. Has been sharpened and lightly used. Solid lock up. Excellent fit and finish. AUS6A stainless with satin finish.
Includes original box and paperwork. WITHDRAWN
7) Case Mini Blackhorn #059L SS. I bought this used but in excellent condition. I have not used it myself except to sharpen it, and it has taken a very good edge. Hollow ground drop point blade with a nice satin finish. Locks up tight. Comfortable handle affords a good grip. Very light at .6 oz. 3 1/8" closed. Made in U.S.A.
No box. WITHDRAWN
Special Combo Deal: Buy these last two (#6 Indian Ford & #7 Mini Blackhorn) WITHDRAWN
