Prices in this thread include insured USPS shipping within the United States and assume payment via PayPal F&F or Venmo. If you prefer another payment or shipping method, please DM me. Please DM me if you have a reasonable offer or a trade offer. My trade interests are pretty much limited to Kawamura, Bose, GEC 14/15 barlows, and a few other top tier custom slipjoint makers.
1) Joel Chamblin 4 blade swell center. Price is $1,200 (significantly less than I paid and it's in the same condition)
-1 5/8" and 2" blades of stainless steel, satin finish, 3 1/4" closed length
-Fancy filed stainless steel bolsters
-Amber stag bone scales with stainless steel escutcheon
-Stainless steel liners and back springs
-Pocket sheath included
-Additional photos on request
-Original dealer post
The cover material is insanely beautiful and the texture feels great. The hand carved bolsters are works of art by themselves. This knife is the ultimate worrystone, but also has beautifully ground, sharp and functional blades.
2) Masao Takahashi Bird and Trout - Price is $650 (significantly less than I paid and it's in the same condition)
-Link to original dealer post
-Overall length: 6 1/2"
-Blade length: 2 3/4"
-Handle length: 3 3/4"
Knife is in great condition, I have not used it since purchasing it and it was described as never used, carrier or sharpened. That being said, the edge is not terribly sharp, maybe a 6/10.
This knife is an absolute stunner. I mean wow, the most beautiful swedge grind I've ever seen, perfect lines, otherworldly stag. Look at the taper on that tang, and the fully hidden lanyard hole.
