Basics: I accept paypal, shipping will be fully insured and tracked, if you want something different you accept the risk. Prices plus shipping, based on postal website best estimate. I am in Canada so recognize crossing the border may take time. Experience shows entry to US is usually fast and painless, but I am not responsible for Customs timelines if you buy cross border. Feel free to make offers/trades, worst I can do is decline. OK on to the knives.
KaBar 1217 USMC knife, 1095, the original, the classic, Marked Olean New York.... I bought this knife 20 or more years ago, been stored for at least the last 12 or years.
Lightly used, maybe sharpened once, needs sharpening. Some darkening of leather handle, parkerizing is starting to thin in wear areas (mainly from sheath) hints of patina forming. A good honest knife, really like this knife, but since its been sitting for 12 years I figure its time to find it a home where it will be loved. Asking $50 or trade for ? smaller fixed blade? SOLD

DH Russell Belt knife #1
This was one of their Kit knives, I added some purpleheart to increase the width and put in screws and recessed nuts instead of the rivets. Scales more contoured and shaped, fairly little contrast, as they are just sanded. Finish is up to you or you can change them out for anything of your choice. Never used, beyond the handle work. Would be a good camp kitchen user, needs a loving home. Asking $40 or trades?
