Please note: All of these knives have been sharpened and used, and have some minor blade scratching, rub marks, etc. The carbon knives all have varying degrees of patina. I take good care of my knives and generally use them lightly, but these are used knives. Thanks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) GEC Northfield #25 (#253109EO) Easy Open Jack Sheepsfoot in Blood Red Bone.
This knife is numbered #2 of 50. Beautiful deep red bone on this one. I bought this new, sharpened it a bit, and used it once or twice, that's it.
Includes tube and COA. $58.00 SOLD
2) GEC Northfield #25 (#252109EO) Easy Open Jack Spear Point in Burnt Stag.
The tube on this one has the number "4" added in two places. I am not the original owner of this knife, and don't know what that signifies (maybe a GEC veteran can fill me in?). I don't believe this is a numbered knife, because I can't see a number etched onto the bolster, and there is no paperwork in the tube.
After I first got this nice little knife, I wrote a bit on it here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/941107-GEC-25-quot-EZ-Slicer-quot
I rounded the tangs on this knife, and it is now more comfortable in the pocket without the sharp tangs it came with.
Includes tube. WITHDRAWN
3) GEC Northfield #66 (#661210) Serpentine Jack in Rotten Banana Bone.
This knife is numbered #21 of 25. It has lined, slanted, and pinched bolsters, and the rotten banana bone is a knockout, IMHO. I saw a photo here of a similar knife and decided I had to try and get one. It was quite a search, and ended with a kind dealer looking in his home for one he thought he might have stashed away. He found it and the deal was done.
No half stops on this one, and the snap on closing is fairly mild, if that matters to you.
Includes tube and COA. $93.00 SOLD
4) GEC Northfield #72 (#721112) Mini Lockback Hunter in Plum Jig Bone.
I bought this new, sharpened it, and rounded the sharp tang a bit. I used it once or twice and that's it. The plum bone and threaded bolsters are very nice on this one. This knife is not numbered.
Includes tube. $72.00 $67.00 SOLD
5) German Eye Half-Congress Jigged Black Bone. Cool and small (2 5/8"). The square bolsters look and feel great on such a small knife. As the pic shows, the nail nick runs right to the top edge of the main blade, but is intact. Originally, the hump was too pronounced for my tastes, especially when closed, so I ground it down, stopping just where the nail nick ends.
Includes box. WITHDRAWN
6) Case Peanut Dark Red Bone CV. When I acquired this classic, I didn't like the "hump" on the master, so I ground it down. Here's the original story of that: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/sh...ot-(Pics-Added) I like it much better this way, but traditionalists may not.
Includes box. $31.00 SOLD
7) Bulldog Barlow in Tan Jigged Bone. Blade is not perfectly centered but doesn't rub against liners. Very slight gap on one side between liners and scales. Nice moderate pull and can be pinched open. Comfortable size at 3.5" closed, and Bulldog's carbon steel takes a good edge.
Includes box. WITHDRAWN
8) Boker Magnum Padre Jr. in Rosewood. 440 stainless. Made in China. I originally thought this one was 3 1/2" closed, but on re-checking it, it is closer to 3 5/8" closed. Excellent blade-to-handle ratio on this one. Stainless bolsters. Locks up tight.
I made a couple of improvements to this knife, as described here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/947688-Boker-Magnum-Padre-Jr-A-Cheap-(and-Fun!)-Date.
Includes box. $13.00 Buy both Bokers for $20.00! SOLD on another forum.
9) Boker Plus Lockback in Yellow Composite. 440C stainless. Made in China. 3 3/4" closed. The blade takes a surprisingly good edge, although I oversharpened a bit toward the choil and gave it a small "recurve". Brass liners and pins and nickel silver bolsters. Locks up tight.
Includes box. $12.00 Buy both Bokers for $20.00! SOLD on another forum.
