All prices include shipping and PayPal. Keep that in mind, because it's going to be very competitive pricing considering that I'm not asking you to add 3% or 4% plus insurance and/or shipping. I ship via FedEx 2-Day Express and will ship same-day as long as payment is made by 1:00 PM CST, next-day otherwise.
Prices are OBO, but unreasonable low-ballers will be ignored.
Either email or PM is fine with me. "I'll take it" takes precedence over ongoing negotiations and or general questions exchanges.
First up: William Henry B05 with very rare Presentation Abalone scale insets. Original box, info-card and leather pouch included. Blade: ATS-34 - Blade Length: 2 [SUP]5[/SUP]/[SUB]8[/SUB]" - Overall Length: 5 [SUP]7[/SUP]/[SUB]8[/SUB]" - Frame Material: Titanium - Scales Material: Presentation Abalone - Lock: Button - Fittings: Stainless - Lanyard: Leather Thong - Weight: 1.2 oz.
I was able to find only one other B05/Abalone model pictured anywhere on the web, and it's in an archived listing of previously sold knives on that site. It is exactly like the one I'm offering except for one thing; my abalone scales are much deeper and richer than the one pictured there. I hope my photography skills are at least adequate to show that. That one was $750 several years ago. I'm asking $725.00 for mine shipped and PayPal'ed. Here she is:
Next up is a BB Blades Damascus liner-lock with a real diamond bezel-held into the end of the thumb-stud. I don't know anything about "BB Blades," but the guy I bought it from has done a lot of business with them and speaks highly of them. Speaking of the guy I bought it from, he had the diamond installed after he acquired the knife. It was his stone that he took to a jeweler to have set in there. I'm going to assume that the liners and back-strap are of the 440c (or similar) variety of steels. The file work is impeccable, action is smooth and lockup tight and solid. There are white and black-lip MOP scales. The polish on the liners and back-strap is mirror-like.
Blade Steel: Damascus
Blade Length: 2 [SUP]1[/SUP]/[SUB]2[/SUB]"
Overall Length: 6 [SUP]1[/SUP]/[SUB]2[/SUB]"
Lock: Liner
Bolsters: I *think* they're Damascus, but I can't say for 100% positive. Knife is fairly heavy for it's size though (4 - 5 oz.), so it would make sense that the bolsters are steel. The swirl design does not appear to be a coating of any kind, so that leads me to believe they're Damascus as well.
Price is $275.00 PayPal'ed and shipped to your door. This is a beautiful little piece. Wish I knew more about the maker(s?) and materials, but I can say that from all appearances, both seem to be top-notch. Thar she blows now....
This next one is an enigma. I got it in an estate sale awhile back, but can't find any information on it. I have no idea who made it or where it was made, but it is an awesome piece. I thought it should go in the Custom Sales forum, but since I can't say whether or not it qualifies, here it is.
This is a stunning 440c Dagger 3 3/8" blade folder. It's OAL = 8 1/4 ". It has the most beautiful black and white Mother Of Pearl handle. Thumb stud is handcarved brass with pearl center. Lots of hand filing and stainless screws. Liner lock. It would be a beautiful addition to any collection.
Price is $220.00 for this jewel.
