Here's several for sale. All prices include shipping via USPS Priority with insurance. Shipments outside of US aren't a problem, we'll adjust shipping prices and take it from there. Paypal only, and no trades. Once I get the necessary cash the remaining will be pulled, so buy early and beat the rush!
Any questions, feel free to ask me. Pics were rushed, as camera batteries were on their last breath. As usual, I suck at photos.
Wayne Goddard (MS)Bolo: A rarity from Blade Magazine's ABS Mastersmith fame, and author of several books. These were made made by Wayne for Northwest Safari in 1990 in a series of 20. This one is marked 001 and is the only one with solid pins in the bloodwood handle. Made to be large yet handy do all blade, and it fits the bill perfectly. Forged from 3/16" 5160 with a 9.25" blade and a 14.5" overall length. Handle is a beautiful red bloodwood with no shrinkage or checking. Would be mint with the exception of some hairline scratches along the length of the blade on the lefthand side from an errant particle on a chamois as seen in the photo. Sheath is Wayne's heavy waxed leather. Other then the owner of Northwest Safari, I'm the sole owner and it's been in my collection since about '92 and I've never seen another one for sale since that time. I'm also not for sure if Wayne is currently taking orders, as I believe his backlog is many years.
Phill Hartsfield Force 1: 11" overall length with a 6 and 3/8" blade length. 1/4" double ground A2 with a peaked spine for the length of the blade. Handle is a chocolate ebony. This one is from the early 80's at latest. I've had a couple of Force 1's, but this is by far the earliest. Knife is in excellent condition with the exception of a scuff that runs about a 1/4" up from the edge on the right hand side. Sheath wise, it has a Bob Dozier kydex (not pictured) and a one of a kind, small of the back sheath done by Phill. I've never seen a similar sheath, ever from Phill and construction wise is done as only Phill can. Leather over steel for construction with the paper type lining. Sheath does have storage wear. If this knife could talk I'm sure it could tell some very interesting stories. Price for a similar knife from Phil Jr. is $1050 currently, so save some big bucks and get a Phill Sr. knife on the cheap! Price is SOLD
Jason Taylor (Reed in the Wind Forge) Fighter: (Top blade) 6" convexed cutting edge with an 11" overall length. Forged from 3/16" 1095 with an integral finger pad forged below the ricasso. Handle is gutted paracord over a traction coating below the handle wrap. The coating completely covers the handle under the wrap and is rust proof and tough as nails. Mint as from maker. Kydex bodied sheath with a leather belt loop attached. Slim and light for it's size. Price is SOLD
Jason Taylor Utility: (Second down) Little brother to the above knife. Same handle construction as above. Blade is 4.25" cutting edge length with a heavy duty convex grind to the blade. 8.75" overall length. It also has the integral finger pad forged into the ricasso area. Compact, yet very sturdy for it's size. Mint from maker again. SOLD
Miller Bros. Blades: (Third down) Heavy duty utility knife from 5/16" 5160. 8" overall length with a 3.75 cutting edge length. Blackish phosphate coating on the blade that also adds some traction to the handle. Rugged...and if you know MBB that says a lot! Excellent kydex sheath. Mint and unused other then taking it in and out of the sheath. Price is SOLD
Victor Blacksmith Utility (left side): 5.25" blade from what appears to be a damascus san mai type construction and a 9" overall length. Wonderful character to it, and I would say performance to match. Mint and unused. Price is SOLD
Knife on right is sold.
