All fees for US sales (PayPal G&S, shipping & insurance) are included in the price; see below for international sales.

If you want to buy a knife, say "I'll take it" in this thread (wins in the event of a tie), or by PM or e-mail at (SEE NEW THREAD) (if you send me an email, be sure to include your forum name). Please ask any questions you have before saying "I'll take it".

Concerning the knives marked "used", the only one I used is the Sus Scrofa (SS); I believe the other 6 are unused by previous owners. Except for the SS, I called them "used" due to slight marks in the finish, many of which are not readily noticeable. Not including the SS, I probably would have called the other 6 "used" ones something like "near new", but due to PayPal's liberal return policy, consider them "used".

If you buy a knife from me, you agree to all of the terms at the bottom of this post, including all sales are final (no returns), so please read the "Terms of Sale" below and ask any questions you have before saying "I'll take it". Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you find one you like!

Sold 1. $475 - AK-47 BG - new, black finish, black canvas micarta handle, SR-101 steel
- .192" blade thickness, 18 1/2" blade length, 28 15/16" overall length

2. $520 - ASH-1 - new, "urban grey" finish, black G-10 standard size (non-magnum) handle, INFI
- .327" blade thickness, 6 3/8" blade length, 11 7/8" overall length
- This is a lighter grey than the newer tanker grey coating.

3. $575->$550 - ASH-1 - used, double cut bead blasted finish (DCBB), black G-10 standard size (non-magnum) handle, INFI

- .318" blade thickness, 6 3/8" blade length, 11 7/8" overall length
- This is listed as used because there are slight marks & fine scratches (sheath marks?) on the blade. Held at the right angle in the right light, there is what appears to be a very slight discoloration in parts of the finish – it might be unevenness or wear in the finish, or maybe the previous owner used a wax or oil on it, I'm not sure. I tried cleaning it, but the discoloration is still present. I have not used it and I am pretty sure the previous owner did not use it either.

Sold 4. $695 - ASH-1 LE #134 - new, satin finish, tiger hide micarta magnum handle, INFI

- .225" blade thickness, 6 3/8" blade length, 11 7/8" overall length

Terms of Sale


Condition: All knives are new with the factory edge unless described otherwise. The factory edges are usually not shaving sharp. While I carefully examine each knife and try to list even the slightest flaws, these are production knives and might have slight differences from one knife to the next. There can be minor imperfections in the fit and/or finish of the knife as it comes from the factory. I am very picky about knives, so I try to mention any flaws including factory defects, but please ask me if you have any specific concerns about a knife's condition.

Price: The price is in US dollars (no other currency is accepted) and includes PayPal G&S, Priority Mail shipping, insurance & adult signature confirmation to US locations.

Payment: For US sales, PayPal G&S or USPS money order. Payment must be made in US Dollars (USD). If you use PayPal as your method of payment, your PayPal address must match your shipping address – NO exceptions!

International sales: Canada & Australia are OK; most other countries are probably OK (but please ask me). Payment must be in US dollars (USD) using PayPal F&F or Western Union Money Transfer (you pay any fees). Extra shipping will be charged. I will only ship to countries where a shipment can be insured, tracked, and delivery verified. If the knife is damaged, lost, confiscated, or not delivered for any reason, you are solely responsible for the loss.

Trades: I might be interested in a Presentation NARK, a ZTBM, old slotted/solid bolt models (Mean Street, Badger Attack, Steel Heart, Battle Mistress), or any Busse model with an all-wood handle.

Legal: By purchasing a knife you are stating that you are 18 years of age or older; an adult signature is required for delivery.
- It is solely your responsibility to comply with all laws where you live regarding the knife you buy, and you agree to hereby release me from any & all liability involving the knife once it has been purchased and shipped.

Misc: - No sheaths are included unless specifically stated.
- If you want to buy a knife, say "I'll take it" in this thread (wins in the event of a tie), or by PM or e-mail.
- I reserve the right to sell or not to anyone I choose.
- Please ask any questions you might have before saying "I'll take it", and let me know if you need extra photos.
- No returns - all sales are final.
