1) Fiddleback Hunter, new and unused. Catch and release for me, I just bought a Bushfinger as well and can't afford both. Stunning knife, here's the original fiddleback sale thread: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/977545-Machetes-in-and-also-a-Batch
It's the tuxedo Hunter. I'm the second owner, but it is absolutely unused and in perfect condition. Knife only, no sheath.

265-->255.00 shipped and paypaled. SOLD!

2) Kiku Matsuda Kasumi, brand new.
I got this one from Japanese Knives Direct: http://www.japaneseknifedirect.com/KikuoMatsudaKnife.html (scroll down to almost the bottom of the page for the description of this knife).
It has been handled a little bit and put in and out of the sheath a few times, and has sliced a sheet of paper. Stored oiled in it's sheath, in mint condition. I have 3 Kikuo knives, and they are the sharpest knives I have ever seen, period. My other 2 are users, and the OU-31 steel is really fantastic. It seems to hold an edge forever, and yet is easy to touch up if needed.
Here are the stats from the JKD site:
KM-255 Haru-Kasumi 4-1/2 inch slightly recurved Hamaguri-ba OU-31 blade with long false edge. Hand contoured black/green layered G-10 handle with thumb notches on the black and paracord finger straps. Comes with Kydex sheath with Tek-Lok Belt device.
OU-31 blade in 4.0mm thick. 115mm blade and 223mm overall length. 160g weight.

I paid 470.00 for this knife, and am selling it for 390-->380.00 shipped and paypaled.

3) Custom Nessmuck by Andy Roy?? Maybe.... I got this knife a while ago and was told it was made by him, but I don't really know, there is no makers mark on it. It does look like it has the beginnings of his distinctive style, but someone else will have to confirm this or not. It is a good looking knife, but not up to his current standard if he did make it. New and unused, 01 steel I was told, it would make a very nice skinning knife, and the sheath is gorgeous. And who knows; it might be worth a lot someday! A fine user in any case, 1/8 thick skinning blade w/ a fine convex edge, razor sharp.

160-->150-->140.00 shipped and paypaled

4) Mystery Custom. I bought this one a couple of years ago from a forum maker and now I can't remember who made it. If I find the thread I will add the info. What I do know; Forged 52100 steel, convex edge, blade 5 1/4 in long and just over 3/16 in thick. Tapered tang, handle 4 in long. Really nice forged hammer marks. This one has been used and resharpened to shaving sharp. Great user!

110.00 shipped and paypaled SOLD!

5) Bargain Nessie; I think the maker is named Jeff White but I'm not certain. Nice basic hand forged tool, unused, rustic finish. No sheath, knife only. Great hunting skinner!

30.00 trade pending

6) Chef's knife; I got this one in a trade, don't know much about it. It is very nicely made w/ a thin convex edge and comfortable handle. Bigger than I need, blade is 8" long, great for slicing a roast! Carbon steel, used once.

Hi searcher-hunter: I just left you a visitor message, you don't seem to be set up to get email but you can reach me at shopper5002000@yahoo.com which is also my paypal address.
The Fiddleback Hunter is yours!
The chef knife is 8" long blade, 1 3/4 wide at the base but it tapers toward the tip, and 5/32 thick at the handle but it tapers toward the tip.
