Posted on other forums as well.

Electronic Stethoscope, Mini-Stetho Bomb Detection Model. Amplifier, Microphone and Headset.

Magician's Raven X2, a "Pull" or "Vanish" with many steel coins, bent and straight key, watch, miniature coins and other things to vanish.

Prototype Jack-knife pickset.

Dyno-Quickpick and Lockpicking Simplified Book thrown in, both shipped together.

TACTICAL KNIVES by Tomo Hasegawa. Rare Book, Japan. One of the first books about the tactical knife craze, it's about 10-12 years old. No dust jacket but it is in otherwise excellent, but not mint condition.

The OSS Crossbows by Dr. John Brunner. First Edition. Has dust jacket and in excellent condition.

War Department Basic Field Manual Unarmed Defense For The American Soldier 1942 21-150. Absolutely wonderful antique in great condition with no pages falling out or otherwise destroyed, etc.

Every thing is negotiable and I'm open to trades as well. The worst I can say is no.

More knife books coming including Greg Walker's Battle Blades and Training of a Knife Fighter, Janich's Street Steel and Knife Fighting books, all by Paladin Press and I have another book that is on the most famous knives of the world, I have to dig all of these out and take pics of them as well.

Serious inquiries can E-mail me drearic at aol.com

I'm looking for all sorts of things, CountyComm things, Oakley things, you name it and I might be into it.

Just hooked up with a new picture posting service, so here are some of the items listed above...

World War Two Hand To Hand Combat Manual:



Japanese Tactical Knives Book:

Two Mike Janich books, I think "Street Steel" is out of print now.

KNIFE FIGHTING PRACTICAL COURSE JANICH BOOK IS TRADED to Dann F..

Two Greg Walker books, both are out of print now I think. On the spine, below the "D" in Modern Knife Combat, there is a layer of paper removed from the book. I bumped or abraded it against something. The Battle Blades book has a whitish dust/discoloration on it, I have no idea what that is but there are no other issues with these books or the Janich ones up except shelf wear.

John Sanchez books, Slash and Thrust and Blade Master.

Hatsumi's Knife and Pistol Fighting, the older 1980s version.

This shows the minor shelf wear and issues the book has.

Next up is Claude St. Denise Kashi-no-bo book on self-defense using the pocket stick.

I'm basically liquidating my book collection. This is a good chance for people interested in martial arts and edged weapons, knives in general and several other interests to start or boost a book collection.

Old School knife collector's case with a few Old School knives that are scuffed, scratched and a couple of them are in various states of refurbishing.

Don...I'm interested in the 2 Michael Janich books. I have a LNIB Spyderco Manix 2 (satin blade, plain-edge, black G-10 scales), that I'd trade if you have another knife or (handgun book) to toss in.
 
Don...I got home from work awhile ago, and I discovered that I already have the Janich book; "Street Steel". I am interested in the Fairbairn book; "Shooting to Live", as well as the Janich book; "Knife Fighting"...What other handgun/shooting books do you have to toss in for my Spyderco Manix 2?
 
Dann,

I have others, this is THE GREAT CLEANSING. I'll send you an E-mail within the next few hours. 8-)
 
Okay...

Janich Knife Fighting but not Street Steel along with Fairbairn's Shooting To Live and The Street Smart Gun Book by John Farnam. How does that sound?
 
Slash and Thrust and Blade Master by John Sanchez.

Picture is now in first post, thanks.

Here's what I'm interested in:

"Shooting To Live" by Fairbairn
"Stressfire, Vol. 1" (NOT Vol. 2, which is about shotguns) by Ayoob
"Knife Fighting" by Janich...(Unless you have "No Second Place Winner" by Bill Jordan..I really want that one...).
 
I have the first three you cite and can ship them on Wednesday for you. I don't have "No Second Place Winner" but along with Askins' "Unrepentant Sinner," I always wanted to read it!
 
What are you looking for trade wise for Slash and Thrust and Blade Master? Speaking of knife books, do you need any on knife making?
 
Johnny,

No, don't need any books on much of anything, I'm looking to clear some out! :D

Send me an E-mail, I also have more than this.
