Hello All,

I am interested in trading a couple of knives. First I have, from master smith John Horrigan, a "Bob Horrigan Fighter" with a custom Mastersmith sheath(http://www.beautifulblades.com/products/list_view/7). From John's website:

6 1/2" long blade from 440c, cryogenically hardened
11 1/4" overall length
303 stainless steel guard and handle bolts
Black linen micarta handle scales


From Mastersmith's website:

Mastersmiths "Lkl" Proprietary Sheathing Method

"LKL" SHEATHS FROM MASTERSMITHS - LEATHER / KYDEX / LEATHER - How often have you had a beautiful knife with a crappy sheath? Or its a nicely made sheath which is hell to deploy. It seems until now the only way to go was flat and plain kydex or leather. We at MastersmithS have created the ideal concealed carry sheath which acts as a tactical but has the look of a presentation grade sheath. Quite simply, we line our kydex with suede or soft leather, then form the kydex around the blade, with the leather on the inside maintaining your knife perfectly. As a result of this method, no more noisy racket when you pull your fixed blade. It comes out silent yet is made for a handle down, lightening fast draw. Any number of carry options just for you go into each sheath we make. Lastly, on the outside, we place a fine glove leather or embossed leather cover, transforming the kydex into one which one would swear was all leather. These are superior for fixed blades, more so than any other."

I purchased this knife from another forum member(Here is the original sales thread with even better pictures: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/sh...n-Fighter-quot) and the knife is unused, is very sharp but has some handling marks on the finish from the original sheath. The knife has never cut anything accept for some paper and is very sharp. I have never carried the knife or even taken it outside of the house.....it has spent its entire life with me in my safe and the original owner stated he never used the knife for anything more than to cut some paper as well.

This knife is completely and totally new and has only cut some arm hair to determine sharpness(it is extremely sharp as a skinner/edc should be!!).

My Trade interests are as follows:
*ZT 550/551(preferably the 551)
*Demko AD-10
*Hinderer XMs
*Small fixed-blade edc knives
*Large fixed-blade survival knives
*Choppers of any sort(generally like thicker vs. thinner)
*Might consider Busse.....none of the smaller ones
*Swamprat Regulator Test Team Edition(Gray/Green combo) or the LE edition
*I'm sure there are others not mentioned, but hit me up with what you have and let's talk!! Thanks for your time.
