Finding myself in the middle of a divorce and downsizing my life after 27 years its time to downsize my collection. I'll be posting many more upcoming. Whew....

The specifics. No trades. PP or other online payments ok. Money orders work as well. Prices include USPS Priority shipping. International can be worked out as well. If you have any questions or need any other pics, let me know at . And as always, thanks for looking, and thank you BF.

Sage Blades (Dylan Farnham) Raven
Incredibly talented maker and hard to find his work on the secondary market. I'm the 2nd owner of this one. Specs are: about a 7" oal, 4.5" blade. 3/16" O1 blade. Elk leather wrapped handle and kydex sheath. Full flat grind. And SHARP! unused, carried a couple of times by me. Excellent condition, save for a small dark spot on the edge in both sides of the blade, as you can see in the pics. Link to the makers site, showing this knife: https://www.sageblades.com/current-designs/. Price is sold

Larry Harley (ABS Mastersmith, deceased) Fighter/Utility IIRC, Larry did a small run of these back in the early 90's because of his long back log of orders. If you have any other history, let me know. Its 9.25 OAL and a blade length of 5". Stock is 3/16" from probably O1??? Or could be 440-C??? There's a couple of areas of pepperi g on the blade and some circular scratching on the right hand side but appears to be unused and uncarried with the original edge present. Rounded spine as well. Canvas micarta scales. Sheath is original i believe, but stitches are missing. Another rare one. SOLD

John, what does a "couple of areas of pepperi g on the blade" on the Larry Harley mean? Thanks Alan
Alan, on both sides of the blade there's pin head size dark spots present. Whether its spots from corrosion or from aging from the bead blasting, it's hard to say. As to whether Flitz or other metal polishes will remove that, I'll leave that to the buyer. It is probably 25 to 30 or so years old, with an unknown number of owners before me.

I'll post some closer pics of the blade irregularities a little later.

John, I'll buy the Larry Harley for $160, if you judge it to be well balanced and quick to manipulate (looks like it is from the pictures, but you've held it). Totally trust, and will accept whatever your answer is. Please e-mail your Paypal addie to:

alan period antopol at verizon period net Venmo also works for me.

Thanks - Alan
