Finally, a nice pickup on eBay

[Chris Meyer]

Greetings,

I just picked up this nice little file worked ATS-34 Wharncliff tanto on eBay for $25.oo. The cutting edge is about 3 and 5/8 inches long, and it's 8 and 1/8 inches in overall length. The knife came with a nice (lefthanded?) sheath and a lanyard. The knife is stamped "Perry" and "08" on one side, and "ATS-34" and "USA" on the other. There are several makers named Perry listed in the Knives 2006. Unless someone here knows who made the knife I will check with the makers listed in the book. I would interested to know more about the maker, and find out what kind of wood he used for the handle. Thanks for looking.

Pretty nice looking, I love the blade shape and the filework. Wait a minute, did you say $25, or $250?!

 

[Chris Meyer]

It was twenty-five dollars, plus $5.40 for shipping and insurance. Not too bad huh?

 

[powernoodle]

Yeah, I'd drop $30.40 for that one. :thumbup:

cheers

 

[shappa]

That's quite a score!

That is sweet! More of a "coping" blade like Kit's Model 21, a very useful blade shape.

Win

Cool knife!

I have no idea which Perry made that knife, but I'd be willing to wager it's NOT John Perry, the ABS Mastersmith. Regardless, you got one heck of a deal on a pretty cool knife! :thumbup:

What a deal! I love the understated file work.

I am sure maker spent more that $25 on materials.
