Thread closed - I'm keeping these, but if anyone is interested in one, you can email me through my profile.

Taking a break from my hiatus to sell a bunch for a fundraiser we do each year. I've too many to put to practical use anyway, so I'll pass them on to someone who can enjoy them.

- PayPal preferred; USPS money orders okay too. USPS Priority Shipping and PayPal fees included in the price. PM for my PayPal info.
- Shipping to the U.S. 50 states & Guam only.
- By buying any knife from me, buyer states they are 18 or older, and buyer is responsible for knowing and following the laws regarding ownership of this knife in your area.

I'm willing to entertain offers, but NO LOW-BALLERS. I'm busy, but I've got a little time to get these on the way to legitimate buyers. These are priced very reasonably, in my opinion. I've been given some great deals on many of these, so I'm passing those deals on here.

The only trade I'd be interested in right now is a Kabar #1264 Tanto, plain edge, leather handle.

Knives for sale:

GEC #121211 Powderhorn, $65. Abalone "Looking Glass" scales, 4" closed. Carried and used to open letters, other than handling scuffs on the bolsters, it's still in great (almost new?) condition. Has the tube and wax paper, but no card or other literature. Typical [amazing] GEC quality, good snap on both blades.


Camillus #23 Jumbo Jack, $70. Withdrawn Re-scaled by a member here on BF. Carried but used very little; no box. 4-1/8" closed, 3" main spear blade and 2-1/4" pen blade. Half-stops and great snap on both blades. These were released by Camillus back in the 70's or 80's, and were scaled with white Delrin or some other synthetic material. This one was re-scaled in jigged red bone by a member here, and he did a wonderful job. Very hefty, chunky knife, and the handle fits your hand really well when you're wearing gloves.


Camillus lockbacks; #1066 ($30.) and #1068 ($45.); both for $70. - I have to call these "UIB" - "unused in the box", because while I've never used either one, they've been sitting with my other Scout knives. Jigged brown (actually, more of a red shade) scales on both. There is scuffing on the bolsters of the #1066, and the #1068 looks almost new, as it's been stored in a ziplock baggie since I got it. I bought these from our local Scout shop right after the Camillus closure in 2007, and I figured I'd never get rid of them. The #1066 is the single-blade lockback, and it locks up solidly with no play in any direction. The #1068 is the double-lockback; the main blade has a little side-to-side play if you really try to move it, otherwise it locks up solidly. The secondary blade is the saw. When I bought this one, the saw blade had significant side-to-side play, and I later sent it to Phil Gibbs (formerly of Camillus, now with A.G. Russell) and he was able to remove a lot of the sideplay in the saw. There's still a little side-to-side wiggle, but not enough to affect the function of it. The saw closes a little slowly, but I figured that's an okay tradeoff to eliminate the side play. *Phil noted that this #1068 [and maybe the #1066] was probably a 'factory second', but overall it looks and functions fine.


Case #4138SS large Sodbuster, $20. Blue delrin scales, carried & used, good snap on the blade, some (very minor) sideplay, a squeeze in a padded vise would fix it.
Case #62132SS Baby Butterbean, $27. Almost new, unused by me, handling scuffs, good snap on both blades.
Kershaw #3130 'Blue Mountain', $30. [made in Japan] Like new, locking clip-point blade, slipjoint sheepfoot blade. AUS-6 blade steel; generally considered to be mediocre, but in my experience these will take and hold a decent edge. Good corrosion resistance with ease of sharpening.
Kersahw #4380 'Double-Cross', $30. [made in Japan] Basically this one is a locking Moose pattern. Carried & used, toured Europe with its' previous owner. ;) Great idea for a traditional pattern, AUS-6 blade steel, see note above on Kershaw #3130 'Blue Mountain'.
U.S. Schrade #LB5 lockback, $30. Carried & used, sheath included. SCHRADE+ blade steel, good snap, solid lock-up.
Case #10275SS Moose, $25. SPF to oldgoat1911 Carried & used, black G10 scales. Modified by a previous owner, who worked the spay blade down to a semi-sheepsfoot. Black G10 scales, good snap on both blades, very slight wiggle in the spay if you force it, otherwise both are tight.
A.G. Russell # RUS-CB13YD locking Barlow, $25. SPF to caseguy [made in China] Yellow delrin scales, LNIB, soild lock-up, good snap.
