Here's some knives for sale that aren't agreeing with my failing spinal fusion. They're all awesome knives, unfortunately nerve problems are causing hand cramps when I handle them. As much as I hate to, they have to go. USPS Priority shipping is included in the price, and Canadian and foreign shipping can be done although we'll have to adjust the price accordingly. Paypal preferred. If you need other louse pics or more info, just let me know. And as always thanks for looking!
Group pic, with descriptions and other pics going from the top down:
Mace Vitale (JS) Fighter: 11" OAL with a 6&3/4" cutting edge. Spine thickness is a solid .280 at the ricasso, and made from W2 with a great hamon with a subtle taper to a sturdy tip. Unsharpened false edge. Handle is green and black cord wrapped over red underwrap with the red being very subtle and the whole handle epoxy impregnated. Bought from the maker in 2008 and it's been unused and carried by me and in excellent condition. Great sheath from a great maker, as well. It pains to sell this one but pains me even more to handle anymore.
Mastersmith's ITAC Tanto: This is an early one from the NY knife store Mastersmith's (beautifulblades.com). Unknown maker, however original design is from the renowned David Goldberg. Clay tempered blade that's 6 and 3/4" long with an OAL of 10 and 3/4" and about a quarter inch blade thickness. Dual silver menukis over a tan/brown stingray underlay with a tight leather overwrap. Turk's head is cord is epoxy impregnated for stability. Exceptionally sturdy Mastersmith's sheath that has a leather interior with kydex over that with the whole thing leather covered for a total of three layers. Large Tec-Loc for the belt interface. Has been carried by previous owner with some scratching from what appears to be either light rope or tatami cutting although the original edge is perfect. These go for about $400 from Mastersmith's. My price is SOLD.
