Howdy.
I've been buying on BF for some time now and I've finally decided to more actively participate in the barter system. I've had quite a few successful transactions on this forum, but I'm absentminded enough to always neglect the feedback system. As such, I can provide references as needed, and I believe several members more active in the Traditional Exchange forum could vouch for me.
Have 3 GECs for trade. To me, they look fine, condition wise, but to a more astute collector, there may be very light scuffing on bolsters and light handling marks. I only say this to give the most pessimistic description possible; I'm sure most people will agree that these GECs are in superlative shape. I'll list any specifically egregious imperfections with particular knives.
First up is a 25 Wharncliffe with Frontier Bone covers. Never used or carried, no noticeable flaws, comes with COA and tube. This one is 05 of 50.
Next is a 73 trapper with Smoked Oyster Acrylic covers. This one is near perfect, save for a very slight dark mark on the spine that I couldn't photograph. It may be a smudge that could be scrubbed off, but I'll leave that up to the potential new owner. Some absolutely gorgeous covers, but the large trapper style just doesn't work for me.
And finally a 54 Moose in Hot Sauce and Eggs. This is my absolute favorite cover material, but I do not like the moose pattern at all. This one is also unused and uncarried and perfect as far as I can tell.
Where my interests lay. Specifically, I'm looking for these:
33 Conductor
- Blue Tuna Acrylic
- Cranberry Acrylic
57 Gepetto Whittler
- Blue Abalone Looking Glass
- Pink Awabi Shell
- Purple Sage Jig Bone
- Primitive Bone
- Spring Green Jig Bone
61 Deluxe 2 Blade Congress
- Snakewood
- Greenbriar Jig Bone
62 Courthouse Whittler
- Tomato Acrylic
- Burnt Sky Acrylic
- Spring Green Jig Bone
66 Serpentine Jack
- Rotten Banana Bone
76 Outlaw Gunstock Jack
- Honey Brown Jigged Bone
- Copperhead Jig Bone
79 Workhorse Whittler
- Looking Glass / Abalone
89 Executive Whittler
- Yellow Jig Bone
- Sea Glass Acrylic
Though I could be persuaded with other Geppetto, Courthouse, and Grinling Whittlers.
Anyhow, onto the photos.
