A few fixed blades and folders up for grabs. I will honor the time stamp on an unconditional “I’ll take it” posted here or via PM, however, I do reserve the right to sell (or not) to anyone and for any reason. Prices are PayPal G&S and shipped to the US. Only potential trade interest would be for a Sebenza 25, Large Inkosi, or Umnumzaan with cash as needed, but I do prefer to sell.

First up is a Fiddleback Forge Bushboot in black canvas Micarta over black liners and a blue pinstripe, .118 AEB-L Steel, SFT, 3″ blade, 7 1/2″ OAL. Comes with the Diomedes pocket sheath shown. This one has been lightly used and stropped. Note that this one came to me with a very small chip in the tip, which I fixed by grinding down the spine just a bit (see pictures ... I think it’s hard to tell though).

Asking $215 (PayPal G&S) shipped to the US.

Next up is a Michael Presnell Puukko in 3/16" 52100. Blade is 4". It's 3/16" just in front of the handle, then tapers. Hand sanded to 400 grit. The ferrule is iron from a wagon wheel rim. Handle is 4 3/8" in stabilized cherry. Vinegar was applied by the maker to achieve the finish. Finish runs deep and doesn't wear. Knife has been lightly used and is starting to form a patina. Blade has been stropped but not sharpened. The scandi grind is off a bit at the tip (not completely even on both sides). Comes with the makers sheath shown (note that the sheath works fine it isn’t the tightest fit).

Asking $120 (PayPal G&S) shipped to the US.

Next up is a Deviant Blades (Filip De Leeuw) Curly in SKM-M4 blue paper steel hollow grind blade (purchased from Blade HQ), bead blasted, 3.75” blade, 8.50” OAL, textured bronze scale, black G10 backspacer. Nice and thin behind the blade. Knife has been carried, lightly used and stropped. Blade is centered and lockup is solid with zero play. Does exhibit some lock stick sometimes, but that appears to be lessening and may go away if the lock bar tension was reduced a bit.

(Consolidating from another thread)

Last up is a Deviant Blades Chinese Folder (purchased from Blade HQ). RWL-34 flat grind blade, 2.875” blade, 6.50” OAL, lightning strike carbon fiber, superconductor bolster, and copper backspacer. Nice and thin behind the edge. Knife has been carried and used for light tasks such as opening mail. The handle shows some wear from use (a few snail trails, etc ... see pictures). Blade has been stropped. Action is smooth with solid lockup and zero blade play. Blade is centered. The pivot can be tuned so that the blade drops shut, but then the blade will be just a tad off center (lockup is still solid with zero play though).

Asking $TRADED (PayPal G&S) shipped to the US.
