Just got back from three years in the sandbox and am looking to lighten my load and move some knives. The job search is going slower than I'd hoped so some of my beauties must go. The pics speak for themselves - all these knives are dead mint unless specifically called out. None of these were ever used - just taken out and admired for a bit, then lovingly put away in a Maxpedition case that traveled with me all over the place.

First up are the Mosier blades. Probably my favorite maker by quite a long ways. Took me a LONG time to find and acquire these bad boys and hate to part with them:

Top: Mosier Frontline IKBS linerlock with carbon fiber scales, bronze anodized clip and screws, blade centered, flawless and in mint condition, never used: $1500

Middle: Mosier Persian XL IKBS linerlock with carbon fiber scales and Ti bolsters, bronze anodized clip and screws, blade centered, flawless and in mint condition, never used: $SPF

Bottom: Mosier Spyro XL IKBS linerlock with carbon fiber scales and Ti bolsters, bronze anodized clip and screws, blade centered, flawless and in mint condition, never used: $SPF

Next up, Les George blades - I never thought I'd have to part with these either!

Top: ULTRA rare and hard to find early FM-1, blasted scales, hand rubbed flats. Full disclosure the blade's a bit off center, but this is one of the earliest George knives I've ever seen - Les would sort this for you if it bothered you. Otherwise this is the best condition FM-1 I've ever seen: $2000

Bottom: VECP Gen II, minty clean and fresh: $650

On to the Obenauf and JWS blades - these are some tough to find examples of stellar craft:

Top: Obenauf Large Model 1 is in great shape, but is a little loose around the pivot and has a few oil spots on the blasted blade - I could tighten it up and take a soft cloth soaked in acetone to the blade if you like but since I'm selling it, I figured I'd leave it - $500

Middle: JWS SD-2 in the large 4" size - if you know the man's work, then you will know just how immaculate this is - perfect and offered for: $SPF

Bottom: JWS RG-1, another flawless example of his craft - $575

Please feel free to PM me, but I prefer emails to me at the address indicated below or via the Forum's emailing feature - I'm on the West Coast and will get to any questions or other requests ASAP.

"I'll take it!!!": First "I'll take it" in this thread with a follow-up email to me (greatoz (at) gmail (dot) com) gets the blade(s). These blades will be cross-posted to multiple forums, so the first "Mine!!!" via timestamp on an email will get the knife

Shipping: Prices include Priority Mail shipping with Delivery Confirmation. International sales and shipping is fine - I'll ship USPS Priority International, with any insurance on the blade(s) for international delivery at the buyer's cost. I am not responsible for delivery once it flies.

Payment: Paypal's fine if you eat the fees, so add 4% if you're uncomfortable with the gift option. I'll take USPS money orders, personal checks (MUST clear before shipment) or official checks. If you buy multiples, I'll work a deal-sweetener for you.

I reserve the right to refuse sale and please, no trade offers - sales only. Thanks for looking!
