After 2 years of wanting to do this I have finally worked up the courage to try and reduce my collection to a small user base.
Please note that with the exception of a few that I will specifically indicate as such, none of these knives should be considered in mint condition. I have handled all of them on multiple occasions to take pictures of my collection. They have all been cleaned multiple times, possibly been in and out of their cardboard sheaths multiple times and and have all been stored with a light coat of lubricant. So even if they are unused and unsharpened, there might be some fine cosmetic scratches or marks to be found. For those knives with obvious marks I will indicate them specifically and post pictures. To picture scratches I use macro mode on the camera and angle it to show the scratches clearly - generally they are much more visible in the pictures than in reality where they are sometimes not obviously visible. If you are looking for museum quality collector's pieces, these would not be for you.
If you have any concerns or questions about. the condition of a knife please ask them before purchase and I will gladly provide more information and detailed pictures and/or video if appropriate.

Terms:
First unconditional "I'll take it!" posted in this thread with an immediate follow-up email or PM to arrange payment gets first priority on these conditions:
I will check Feedback, GB&U and other factors and I reserve the right to not sell to anybody without explanation. If I do not receive the PM or email for payment shortly afterwards, the knife will go to the next in line.
I accept PayPal or USPS Money Order.
Price includes PayPal fees and shipping in the USA via USPS Priority mail, insured with delivery confirmation. I will not accept PayPal Personal/Gift payments.
By purchasing you are stating that you are of legal age and that is legal for you to purchase and own the purchased knife/knives and you release me from any & all liability involving the purchased knife/knives once it has been shipped to you.
International Sales
I have shipped many knives internationally and never had a problem. But I will only do so under these terms:
I will ship internationally but only if the parcel can be tracked and insured , typically USPS Express mail, insured with delivery confirmation and buyer covers additional shipping costs (I will pay the equivalent of the US shipping cost, buyer pays the difference). Additional shipping is usually about $30 but may vary depending on weight, country, insurance value etc. I will provide exact shipping cost to each buyer. I will not state reduced value on customs forms.
I will send shipping confirmation directly after shipping but once the knife leaves the USA I will not accept responsibility if it is lost outside of the US (i.e if for whatever reason you do not receive the knife outside the US e.g. it is confiscated by customs). I will claim insurance and if insurance pays me I will refund the total amount that I am reimbursed to the buyer, no more, no less. If insurance does not reimburse me then I cannot reimburse the buyer.
Return Policy
I take detailed pics and videos of the condition of each knife exactly as it is at the point of sale. If the buyer feels that the knife is in a different condition than
pictured and described then I will gladly refund the purchase price on the following conditions:
Buyer will have 3 days from date of delivery to notify me that they are not satisfied with the knife. Buyer pays for return shipping. I will refund the money once I
have received the returned knife.
If I receive the knife back in a different condition than I shipped it to the buyer I will not refund the full purchase price but will return the knife to the buyer.
Thanks for looking.
