Need to pare down the collection a little and help refill the coffers a bit. Payment via money order or paypal but can't be a credit card funded payment (only have a personal account) and you'll need to cover the fees.
Please feel free to PM or email me with any questions. I will entertain reasonable offers, but I think these are generally priced pretty right. Prices including shipping, US only - no international shipping.
First is a Kirby Lamber Inferno. Beautiful little folder and one that I know I'll regret getting rid of. It's done with olive drab canvas micarta handles and carbon fiber bolsters and has stepped thumbstuds. It's clipped for tip-up, right hand carry. It's 3 3/4" blade with a 4 7/8" handle. Comes with a Bills padded velcro case. This is almost identical to the one on Kirby's site - except mine has dual stepped thumbstuds with no inlay, and the pocket clip is a slightly different design. It has not been carried or used.
Price is: $525>$500>$485>$475>$460 now $440 ***SOLD***
Next is a John White full-dress bowie. Comes with a zipper case & leather sheath.
Forged 1084 blade is 9 long, OAL 14. Highly polished giraffe-bone scales, nice leather sheath by maker.
Extensive rope filework throughout, including the intricate pommel assembly, ferrule/spacers, clamshell hilt, top of spine--even the casing on the tang is delicately fileworked. Spanish notch and long swedge-ground clip (unsharpened).
Two things that may not be immediately obvious from the pics:
First, all of the rope filework is blued for additional contrast with the german silver furniture, and the effect is stunning. Filework not blued include the blade spine and the tang encasement.
Secondly, the handle swells subtley back from the guard to a nice, smooth man-size mid-point, and then tapers back beautifully toward the pommel. Handle is broader on top, with the underside a little slimmer for a great feel in hand. The high polish really brings out the colors in the bone, too. Complete disclosure - ever so slight forging mark on the left hand side of the clip - very barely noticable, can't even photograph it.
Price is: $1000>$950>$900>$>875>$850>$800>$750 now $700!!! shipped ***SOLD to timsum***
Next up is a Murray Carter 'Muteki' cord wrapped bowie. It is 12" OAL, with a 6" blade of san-mai (hitachi and su410) steel. It is double ground, with a finger choil, and has a beaten finish on the flats. The full tang handle is green paracord wrapped. It comes with a black leather sheath.
From an old catalog - "Muteki blades are laser cut to shape, annealed, cold forged, stamped, coated with clay, then heat-treated to between HRC 63 to 64. Finally they are ground from their original blanked thickness on Japanese rotating waterstones."
Price is: $250 shipped ***SOLD***
Last up is an Ariel Salaverria hunting knife, with a horn handle, inlaid with Argentinean coins. I picked this up a few years ago during a benefit auction for a knife maker, and it is a very cool & unusual piece. It has a 52100 blade that has an unusual enamel coating with flecks of green & red in it. The handle is 11" long, and the blade is about 5" long. It has a leather space & copper bolster. Comes with a leather sheath.
Price is: $125 shipped ***SOLD***
