Happy Monday y'all!
For your consideration today, I've got a bunch of fixed blades in the pocket-carry size range, though a few of the sheaths have belt options as well. Prices are paypal G&S shipped USPS first class. Any questions, shoot 'em my way.

)
This is cross-posted to other forums so going by timestamp, first "I'll take it" wins.
DCL Modified Sheepsfoot (AEB-L) [B+] - $75 SOLD
Not original owner but it’s in tip-top shape. 2.75" aeb-l blade (.125 thick) with Peters heat treat, acid wash, and ivory Westinghouse micarta scales. Comes with thick handmade black leather sheath with flash/SAK pouch.
All Gone:
AF Mini-Wharnie (1084) [B+] - $50 SOLD
Not original owner but can’t find any wear on here at all. Gorgeous ironwood handle, strong leather sheath, unique design would make and awesome box cutter.
Valencourt Spike (O1) [A] - $50 SOLD
The Valencourts keep on coming! Another gorgeous work of art. As the others, original owner, lightly fondled but no use. “This knife has polished green linen scales with brass hardware, matching the brass hardware on the sheath. The blade is a combination multi-etch and copper acid wash, which yielded this really earthy-feeling finish that I am quite fond of. The sheath is smoke gray kydex with brass eyelets, the retention is quite good but the draw is short and light, which makes extraction from pocket very easy.”
Jack O’Neill EDC (A2) [B+] - $100 SOLD
Not the first owner, so can’t call it an A, and there are tiny micro-scratches from putting in and out of the sheath. Other than that, no signs of use at all, really a gorgeous daily carry option. Comes with sheath and COA – info from the COA “A2 heat treated to RC 61-62, hollow ground scotch-brite belt satin finish. Stabilized maple burl hybrid with red/blue alumilite, copper corbybolts, green liners and a mosaic pin.” Custom piece at a production price!
Fiddleback Forge Pygmy (A2) [C+] - $80 SOLD
A FIDDLEBACK FOR UNDER $100 WHAT AM I THINKING? Oh man am I sorry to see this one go – my first custom fixie and one that still speaks to me, I just got a Fiddleback Mosquito that is more my speed so somebody gots to go. Seen light use but in great shape and 99% of life left in him. No liners or fancy business, just blue G10, spalted A2, and ready to get to work. No sheath with this liddle ‘un.
Valencourt “Electric blue / Gold” Diamondhead III (6Al4V Titanium, carbidized edge) [A] - $35 SOLD
A beauty made by custom maker on reddit (u/valencourtcustom), I sadly have to move along. Original owner, lightly fondled but no use. Original description, putting all my descriptions to shame: “I anodized this knife at about 100 volts for an electric blue finish, and then stone washed it, and reanodized at about 80V for gold. From here, I carbidized the blade, and then intended to also anodize the carbidizing gold, but once I touched the positive to the knife, I got an instant 40 volt light blue that I liked the look of so much I had to keep it the way it was. The kydex is tiffany blue with good retention. I padded this knife very well, to ensure it wouldn’t scratch. I definitely don’t want to mess up such neat anodizing. And 3 brass eyelets to compliment the anodizing.”
Valencourt “Purple Pepper” Sculptor (6Al4V Titanium, carbidized edge) [A] - $35 SOLD
Another gorgeous Valencourt creation. Original owner, lightly fondled but no use. Original description: “This is my new Sculptor model, a simple but elegant kiridashi. The primary bevel of this knife is polished and very lean, as such the tip is also quite acute. The blade was orange peeled, and then anodized to a pinkish/violet color, from here the knife was stone washed and then re-anodized purple, giving all of the distressed areas on the knife a peppering of purple color. The sheath of this knife is hot pink with brass eyelets and the retention is very solid, this knife errs on the side of retention. The draw is still good, but the knife has a nice click and stays put.”
Tactical Pterodactyl Mini-Camp (Z-wear) - $100 SOLD
Super sharp, original edge hasn’t been touched. Can’t find any wear on it, but not original owner. Snappy sheath retention, super solid mini.
Josh Gallardo Sheepsfoot (D2) [A] - $125 SOLD
Easily my favorite of the bunch, don’t buy it
. Untouched, pristine. A beauty in stabilized dyed maple burl, with natural micarta liners and white pinstripes, Josh’s grinds are SO CLEAN and beautiful, have to be seen to be believed. No sheath with this guy, but if that’s a dealbreaker let me know and I can probably dig one out for a little extra scratch.
Valencourt EDC (1095) [A-] - $60 SOLD
The final Valencourt. Fondled and loved, micro-scratches from sheath removal, this is the hardest to see go. “I intended it originally to be an ultra simple utility knife, one that you wouldn’t feel too badly beating up, something intended to truly be used. This one is ground quite lean, but remains a stiff blade. An acute swedge is ground in for a nice point, waxed Osage orange wood handle with brass hardware which feels nice in the hand. Orange kydex with brass hardware, and a tension toggle for adjustable tension. It’s set up currently with a reasonable draw and a pocket sheath with thumb ramp. The blade steel itself has a fairly low grit hand rub finish, it’s not bad but I didn’t polish meticulously because I truly intended this knife to be used, this one was made less with art in mind and more with utility.”
ESEE Candiru (1095) [C] - $45 SOLD
Been used and sharpened, edge is currently mirror-ish. For some reason this is one of my favorite knives that never gets pocket time. Go figure. Comes with dark gray scales and the Velcro sheath. Anyway I love this little guy and wouldn’t be sorry to see it stay around, but it needs more love than I have to give at the minute so putting it out there…
TOPS Mini Scandi Rockies Edition (1095) [A] - $55 SOLD
Unused, in tip top shape. This is the coated version, fun mini-scandi. Comes with snappy sheath, COA, whistle, ball chain.
