UPDATED 11/9/09 THANKS EVERYONE FOR LOOKING AND BUYING. THE REMAINING KNIVES ARE WITHDRAWN. PRIOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST IN A PARTICULAR KNIFE WILL BE HONORED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. I AM HALFWAY TO A COLLINGS CW, SO THANKS AGAIN.


Graham Brothers:

ADDED 11/04 Graham Brothers CUT with leather sheath from maker. CPM154CM, Orange G-10 with black pins and liners. Graham Bros' biggest blade. This one has had a single combat with a watermelon. I couldn't find anyone to bet on the watermelon. It is otherwise unused, completely unblemished, and totally visible from outer space. Pics are up at link above. $575. Sold Pending Funds



1) Ringed Razel SS3, with leather and kydex sheaths. S30V, black & gray carbon fiber, mosaic pins, red liners. No noticeable flaws. WITHDRAWN

2) Ringed Razel, leather sheath, S30V, black & gray CF, red liners, mosaic pins. WITHDRAWN

3) Wharncliffe, S30V, jade micarta, mosaic pins, black liners, leather sheath. $250. REDUCED TO $225. Sold Pending Funds

4) Warcliffe Tactical, S30V, jade micarta, mosaic pins, black liners, leather crossdraw sheath. WITHDRAWN

5) Early Razel Prototype, this is a huge chunk of 1/4 inch steel. Sharp on 3 sides, kydex sheath. cool multi-color micarta. $300. REDUCED TO $275. Sold Pending Funds

6) Ram tomahawk/hatchet. Very heavy hatchet. Kydex sheath. This awesome destroyer of worlds is unused but bears some kydex scratches. Purchased from Steel Addiction, which represented that this was the last Ram to be made with a satin finish. WITHDRAWN

7) Stubby Spearpoint. leather, lager ale G-10, mosaic, red liners. Cool little blade. I used it once, never sharpened. $250. Sold Pending Funds

8) Stubby Ringed Razel. leather, natural micarta with one scratch. Very cool and temptingly handy, but never used. $325. WITHDRAWN


Randall Made Knives: (I know these aren't considered custom generally, but these two are unique and should qualify for this forum)


1) Model 24 Guardian. Pre-ban elephant ivory bearing a crack on one side. Black and nickel spacers, nickel hilt. Original sheath and stone. Includes Randall zip case. $900. WITHDRAWN

2) Randall Fireman Special/ Search and Rescue #5. Orange micarta, this knife is #5 in Jim Behring's Search and Rescue dealer special. Original sheath and stone, Randall zip case. WITHDRAWN

Other makers:

John Fitch, JS Hunter. John is an MS now, but this sweet little hunter was made before he graduated to Master status. It is marked JS for Journeyman Smith. Still the prettiest blade I've seen from Big John. It was reputedly one of a set of 8 made for a hunter to give to his friends. It has a huge caramel streaked fossilized walrus ivory handle and a beautiful hand forged blade. Hand tooled leather sheath. Sweetness. WITHDRAWN

JR Cook, MS. Cook is an Arkansas Living Treasure, which means he is a badass. I want Willie Nelson to have the same honor in Texas.This is a boot knife, damascus with nickel furniture and big scales of fossilized mammoth ivory. Hand-tooled leather sheath with clip rather than loop. Sharpened top clip. $500. REDUCED TO $450. Sold Pending Funds

And now some folders....

1) Mike Alsdorf, peanut slipjoint, jigged amber bone. WITHDRAWN

2) TA Davison, leaf blade slipjoint, modestly fileworked, pretty walrus ivory scales. Very nice. $300. Sold Pending Funds

3) TA Davison, jack knife, black dyed jigged bone, filework to end of blade. $250.Sold Pending Funds

4) Don Morrow single blade trapper. Amber stag. Terrific filework. Beautiful and balanced. Morrow is a protege of Bill Ruple and it shows. WITHDRAWN

5) GW Stone. Hard to categorize, this is a hefty slipjoint, a 10 on the pull scale, and all stainless. This dates from the late 60s/early 70s, and is unused and unsharpened. Stone was an early/founding member of the Knifemakers' Guild. WITHDRAWN

6) WC Davis lockback toothpick. Long, slender blade with handsome stag scales and red liners. Very sweet. WITHDRAWN

NOTE REGARDING BAILEY BRADSHAW SUPERFANTASTIC COMPRESSION LOCKBACK: WITHDRAWN AND NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN UNLESS YOU ARE MY UNBORN GRANDCHILD (If so, please PM with pics)


Thanks.

I answered your email but others may want to know. Neither is stamped with a number. The Walrus leafblade is around #297, and the jack knife is late 100's I think. Both are from before Todd stopped doing filework.

Thanks.
 
I'm trying to keep up with requests for pics. Please be patient if your request hasn't come through. My email server is making it slow. I'll get to them all, and nothing is gone yet. Thanks.
 
any chance of posting at least some pics here ? difficult to know which i might be interested in without a pic., esp. if not very familiar with the maker.
i know, a lotta knives=a lotta work=a lotta time.

Took pictures out since Kelly is keeping the knife. Kelly, pics on the way to my long lost grandpa.

Thanks Mike you're a prince. A prince with a disturbing avatar. I got this beauty from Mike a while back, and learned through him that Bailey Bradshaw is not eager to make another one of these. I reckon it wasn't easy. Everyone that doesn't buy this one is crazy.
 
Click on the link in his first post that says "All these knives". The Alsdorf is on the 2nd or 3rd page.
 
Thanks, Dave.

You know, maybe peanut isn't the right word. I think of it that way though. Those apparent scratches on the bolsters are camera flash issues. I don't believe this one has been carried, but would probably not state it as fact. It is in very good shape, made in 07, and I think I got it from Mike directly, although I may have dreamed that part. Could have been Vince.

cheers
 
Mike, they are now held with your name on em. And to the rest of the world, the Graham Wharncliffe and Graham CUT are now Sold Pending Funds.

I'll be in touch momentarily Mike. And Thanks.
