It's been a while since I've sold some knives on BF. First "I'll take it" post gets it.
First up is a prototype Northfolk whittler by Kerry Hampton. This was before Kerry used the "prototype" stamp on his knives. The natural handle material has some bark showing on the pile side. Secondary blade is a bit stout to open. I've carried this a few times, but still a very nice knife and I don't know when Kerry will make another. 3.5 closed. SOLD (Overseas shipping paid by the buyer.)
Old Southington jack knife. There are two repairs on the pile side bone, and the obvious cracks. Scales are still tight. Both blades are stamped, have nice swedges and have matchstrike pulls. The main blade took a nice edge when I sharpened it. 3.5 closed. Nice old knife by a top US company back in the day. $80 plus $10 Priority Mail shipping. (Overseas shipping paid by the buyer.)
Taylor Eye brand, Sheffield. Not sure how old, but probably not that old. Flush joints, has not been carried but the bolsters have scuffs on them. Ebony scales. That's a fingerprint on the main blade pile side. 3 ¼ closed. Blades are pretty stiff on opening. $70 plus $10 for shipping. Same deal on overseas shipping.
Knife pick by customer maker Ken Erickson. Ken jigged the bone to fit on one side. Used a few times. $75. I'll ship it media mail for free in the US since it's small. Overseas shipping paid by buyer.
Last is a Kutmaster barlow with sawcut scales. It has been used and scratched up, but the blades are pretty full. Just the main blade is stamped with "Kutmaster, Utica US NY, Made in USA." I'm guessing 1940s for when it was made. 3 1/8 closed. $50, $10 Priority Mail shipping. Same on overseas.
