Knife 1: J. Garrison light chopper with 9" O1 full-flat grind blade; Overall length is about 14.75"
Notes: Bought new on the exchange. Unused. Blade is 0.2 inch thick and narrows enough to be a good slicer. Handle is pretty comfortable. Knifemaker suggested there may be some mark on the blade or an imperfect maker's stamp, but I don't see anything in particular to mention.
Price: $140
Knife 2: rare Obenauf fixed blade with blue scales
Notes: 8 5/8" OAL with 3 7/8" S30V blade, stone washed finish, blade is 0.145" thick and 1 1/8" tall, blue G10 scales, includes custom wet formed leather sheath by Lifters ($50 value). The scales on this knife are thin (I'll call it a "boot" knife ).
Condition: 98%, handled, unused, removed scales to clean/inspect. Hole pattern under scales to balance weight.
Price: $160
Knife 3: rare Obenauf fixed blade with orange scales
Notes: 7 7/8" OAL with 3 3/4" S30V blade, stone washed finish, blade is 0.143" thick and 1 1/4" tall, orange G10 scales, includes custom wet formed leather sheath by Lifters ($50 value). The scales on this knife are thin (another "boot" knife).

Knife 4: Damascus USA (Charlton) - General Yeager Hunter-Skinner knife with buffalo horn scales
Notes: Bought new from Damascus USA. Unused. Includes 2 sheaths. Total length 9", blade length about 4 1/4". One side of the buffalo horn scales has a microfracture that extends along the finger grip side. I asked the maker about it back when I bought it and they said no issues expected and that the warranty would cover any possible issues. Just another natural material with a visible crack. These go for $265 new.
Price: $175
