First up is a John W Smith liner-lock pocket fighter in ATS34 with polished carbon fiber scales and matte satin bolsters/clip. Very smooth with solid, early lockup as you would expect from the master. This is a user in excellent condition and has been carried very little. Very small mark on bolster and some hairline stropping marks just visible above the edge bevel. PHOTO NOTE: I used indirect lighting in the photos for detail, but the carbon fiber scales came out looking dull--in reality, they have a nicely polished gleam under direct light.

Specs/Price/Terms:

Blade point to bolster: 3 1/2”
Overall length open: 8”
Price: Was $375 Now $OLD shipped
Terms: Price includes insured Priority shipping in USA only. Postal money order only—not set up for Paypal. No trades, thanks.

Next is a Joe Allen slipjoint in S30V with some of the most beautiful root-beer jigged bone scales you will ever see. This knife is new and pristine. Strong spring with 7-8 of 10 pull, very solid deployment--no play whatsoever when deployed. Half stop.

Specs/Price/Terms:

Blade point to bolster: 3 3/8”
Overall length open: 7 ¾”
Price: Was $375 Now $325 shipped
Terms: Price includes insured Priority shipping in USA only. Postal money order only—not set up for Paypal. No trades, thanks.

Third is a fighter in 440C from Aussie maker David Brodziak in new condition other than some light handling marks. Blade is mirror polished as shown by the reflection of the camera lens in one of the pics. Nickel silver guard with antique brass collar and black fiber/NS spacers. This knife comes with a beautifully fitted, felt-lined sheath/case made of the same gorgeous wood as the knife handle—a highly figured native Australian wood called she-oak. Wood has been stabilized and is highly polished. You’ll see fighters with wooden sheath/cases in this range from David sell for $700-$850 on purveyor websites.

Specs/Price/Terms:

Blade length point-to-guard face: 7 5/8”
Blade thickness at spine/ricasso: 3/16"
Length overall: 12 7/8”
Price: Reduced to $350 SOLD
Terms: Price includes insured Priority shipping in USA only. Postal money order only—not set up for Paypal. No trades, thanks.
