SOLD I will freely admit I joined BladeForums at the recommendation of a knife maker at a local gun & knife show specifically to sell these four knives. They belong to an elderly widowed friend of the family. Her husband bought them from Robert Hajovsky in 1987. He met Mr. Hajovsky at a March 1987 gun show in Texas and purchased the Diamond Back Combat there, ordering the three other knives for delivery later in the year.
All four knives were simply stowed away in his office in the sheaths until we found them several weeks ago. Because of this, all four show some very minor staining from the leather that should polish out with no problem. Aside from this staining, any minor imperfections the knives may have are as they came - buying this small collection of knives will be largely like buying them directly from Mr. Hajovsky 21 years ago.
I would like to sell all four knives as one package. I will also include three Bob Sky catalogs, a price sheet, and the original receipt for the three ordered knives - handwritten and signed by Mr. Hajovsky. Pictures follow the text and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have, although I admit I am a knife admirer, but certainly not a knowledgeable collector.
I can provide references upon request. You can also go to www.smith-wessonforum.com or www.rugerforum.com and ask about me under the same user name. Plenty of people at both sites know me and can vouch that I am an honest, trustworthy guy to deal with. My only intent is to raise cash for my widowed friend by making a square deal with someone for these knives she can not use.
The cost for the four knives and all associated paperwork is $2,200 shipped and insured in the Lower 48. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have. If you prefer to talk on the phone, email me your phone number and I'll call you at your convenience. Thank you very much for your time.
