Wow. I moved about $60,000 in firearms last year alone on snipers hide. And it didn't cost me a dime. So... $30 membership to sell a $200 dollar knife... Yeah, I'm out.

you paying not for selling one 200$ knife. you paying for supporting the forum that gives you so much, including possibility to buy the knife you want, answering your questions, having fun and given you the possibility to find the friends or at least the people who on the same wave with you.

the people who operate 60000 bucks for fun and grudge 30$ for membership always amuse me. you made my day. it almost the same like person who making 200$ per hour spending 2-3 hour to cut of 10-50 cents saving coupons, and then 4-5 hours in store to buy using this coupons.

I will take the Hunter. Sending PM.
 
I have a cocobolo hunter from wacky Wednesday last year - used a few times in the kitchen and has some patina - just not quite what I am looking for
Here is a link to the original sale and description from the sale thread and some pix from the other day - want to get $375 shipped insured in the US

2014 0430 05 - Hunter with Cocobolo over black g10 with a lime pinstripe, Tapered tang, convex on 3/16" spalted 01 steel - $390



 
doh. looks like 5/32nds to me. Never been a fan of how things cut bigger than 1/8th and prefer thinner than that to be honest.

Guess I'll step aside and let the next person have it. Shame too....it's a looker.

good luck on the sale!
 
It really pains me to make this post but I need to open room in my small collection. The nessmuk balances perfectly on the first set of pins, it really feels great in the hand. I would like to sell both knives with their sheaths.

2015 0109 23 - Nessmuk w/ Bocote over black w/ orange pinstripes, Tapered Tang, convex on 5/32” spalted 01 steel - $340 Asking $360 with RLO Sheath
The nessmuk is in new and unused condition. I have applied a coat of mink oil to the sheath. It should take on a great patina over time.


Pocket Kilo II w/ black g10 over a red pinstripe. It is SFT 1/8" O1 Steel. Asking $200 with sheath.
The Pocket Kilo II was used to skin a rabbit and take the legs off. I did strop it back to sharp afterward. There is one tiny dot of patina from this toward the tip.

I have always said that if I don't use a knife, I'm not going to keep it and have it just sit on a shelf collecting dust. I'd much rather someone else have it and put it to use or do with it whatever they please. To that end, I will be selling a few Fiddlebacks that don't find their way into rotation much any longer. First up is this old school Bushboot.

Paypal preferred. Prices include PayPal fees and shipping via USPS Priority. US sales only. Buyer is responsible for adhering to their local knife laws and must be 18yrs of age or older.

First "I'll Take It" in this thread followed up with a PM or Email gets it. Feel free to ask any questions, but law of the sharks prevails.

Fiddleback Forge Bushboot - SPF

5/32" O1, Tuxedo (Black Canvas Micarta over natural canvas with natural pins and bullseye tube and slim white pinstripe). This is an old school one with fat handles and amazing spalting. Fiddleback on the spine, Andy Roy on the butt.

It has been used but not abused (I take care of my knives). This knife has been convexed (the secondary micro bevel was sharpened away).

Includes a really cool and unique cobra skin sheath by Omega Leather Works and a wet formed Heber Sheath.











Feel free to ask questions or request other pictures.

Thanks for looking.

Feeling a strong draw to the Hiking Buddy. Would love to find a relatively thin steel stock with tapered tang. Will consider most handle materials but prefer natural/subdued colors & liners.

Can pay immediately and have a USA postal address.

All options welcomed...

Thanks all! :)

Looking to trade my CPM Bushfinger with Coffee burlap over black g10 with orange pinstripes, SFT Tang, convex on 5/32” CPM 154 stainless steel. New/unused condition. This one is pretty sweet and actually has a more comfortable handle compared to my other Bushfinger. Only reason I'm looking to trade is that I don't like orange pinstripes & picked this one up with the intention of hopefully trading it. Looking for other SS Bushfingers, Kepharts, Bushcrafters, & Reculses in 1/8 or 5/32 open to handle materials and stripe color as long as there's no orange. Also interested in SS Hunters, Bear Paws, & Lekus. Happy to +/- cash depending on the trade & more than happy with a user blade with a little love on it.

Thanks guys,

Still looking for trades. Also interested in a stainless Sneaky Pete. Basically if you have something stainless to trade and like the look of this blade shoot me a PM. I'm flexible!
 
For Sale:

I have three nice unused burlap knives to sell. I am letting these go to free up some cash for the Blade Show. All prices are the original Fiddleback Friday prices and that includes USPS 2-Day Insured shipping CONUS.

Payment terms: USPS Money Order preferred or a personal check is OK if I have dealt with you before or know your good reputation on the forum. NO Paypal!

The first firm “I’ll take it” reply followed by a confirming PM takes priority.

Buyer must be at least 18 years old and is responsible for knowing and complying with his or her state and local laws.

2014 0411 07 – Bushcrafter, Red burlap from Shadetree over black g10 with a white pinstripe, trinity pinout, tapered tang, convex on 5/32” spalted 01 steel, great workhorse of a knife - SOLD to itzig
