REDUCED! - David Broadwell fixed blade tactical knife, model LDC-F-2. These were made specifically for Les Robertson at Robertson Custom Cutlery several years ago. This was a project that involved a number of very well-known knife makers, who made both fixed blade and folding knives for the LDC series. They all sold out fast, and do not come up for sale very often these days.
This is serial #40 of 50. These days, David Broadwell makes high-end art knives and pens. This is the perfect everyday carry (EDC) knife - it's lightweight, has a narrow profile, and comes with a kydex sheath that can be mounted in a couple of different positions.
It measures 8 1/2" in overall length, the blade is approximately 4" long, and the top edge is sharpened about 2 1/2" back from the tip. There are upper and lower notches for forefinger and thumb placement.
I am the original owner of this knife. It has never been used, sharpened or carried. It is in as-new condition.
Asking $395 $350 Postal Money Order or $365 PayPal.

SOLD! - Next up is an integral W.D. Pease fixed blade tanto-style knife. This is a rare piece that has been in my collection since new. I am the original owner. It is in MINT condition. It has never been used, sharpened or carried. There is no sheath. It has been stored in my safe in a zippered case (included with the knife).
It measures just a tad less than 11 in overall length and the blade measures just a tad over 6 in length. It is marked with Mr. Peases unique numbering system, Gbc6. I do not believe that he offers this model any longer. And he doesnt make many fixed blade knives this large. I have never seen another one like it.
I dont specifically recall the steel, but if I remember correctly it is ATS 34. Notice in the last picture how the tanto-style blade is thicker at the tip, and make note in the second to the last picture that the knife is made from one solid piece of steel. The bolsters are nicely done with 8 stainless steel balls (3 on each side, and 1 each on both the top and bottom) embedded in the bolsters. The handle is made from two (2) beautifully matched slabs of stag, pinned in 5 places. The stag is rich in color, and highly figured. Even the rear portion of the stag is thicker, for a better grip on the knife. This knife feels awesome in-hand, and the fit and finish are perfect. This would be a great addition to any collection.

SOLD! - Third up is a rare Jimmy Lile Canoe-shaped Gents Slip Joint Folder. I am the original owner. It was purchased from Mr. Lile at a Guild Show some 30 years ago. It has been kept in the slip pouch with velcro closure in my safe. It is as close to near mint condition as possible - never used or sharpened. Other than a stray hairline or two visible in the picture on non-Lile marked side of blade, it is in virtually new condition. They really don't look bad in the picture - you cannot feel them and you can only see them at a certain angle - just trying to be honest. The knife has been taken out periodically and admired, and I guess it happened during handling.
The knife measures 3" closed, and 5 1/8" opened. The drop point blade / cutting edge is approximately 2" long. The frame is nickel silver, and I recall the blade steel being D-2. I do not recall the wood type, but it looks like stablilized walnut. This is a slip joint, so there is no half-stop. The blade locks up tight with no play in any direction, and it is centered in the handle when closed.

NEW! - Peter Marzitelli tactical folding knife. I am the original owner. I have had it in my collection for about 5 or so years. I do not recall what model he called this one. However, this is a lot of knife for the money. His "Marz" knives are world renowned for their artistry, craftsmanship, attention to detail and uniqueness. This knife is a perfect example of his work.
The knife is in virtually mint condition. It has never been used, carried or sharpened. The overall length is 7 3/4", and the blade is 3 1/4" long. This is a rather unique framelock folder, as the lockbar side also has a bolster and scale just like the opposite side - so both sides match. This knife locks up strong and tight as a vault with a resounding click. There is absolutely no blade play in any direction, and the blade is perfectly centered in the handle when closed.
The blade is Stainless Damascus, as is the pocket clip. The bolsters are carbon fiber. If I recall correctly the exotic wood used for the handle scales is Cocobolo. Engraved in the wood is Peter's signature maker's mark "pterodactyl". There is also an ambidextrous thumbstud and textured thumb ramp. There's a huge amount of work and materials that has gone into making this knife. This knife feels very substantial in-hand.
