Relisting these for another go around.
Have the following available. Prices are pretty firm, no trades for now and prices include shipping via USPS tracked. Shipping outside of the US can be worked out for actual shipping costs. Payment via Paypal, Venmo, Zelle or whatever payment type works for you. If you have any questions, let me know. I'll be updating the thread later with some quick videos, but if you need other pics or said video before that, let me know. Thanks for looking!
Phill Hartsfield Aikuchi: 1/4" A2 with a 7.25" chisel ground blade. OAL of 11 and 3/8". Near perfect condition with the exception of a dark freckle on the flat side of the blade at the base of the cutting edge. Sheath is leather over metal with a paper liner. Gorgeous knife with a definitive presence in hand. It seems most Aikuchis go for about $1200 and up these days, assuming you can find one, price on this one is SOLD. Phill's knives aren't coming up too often on the market these days, so take advantage of these prices and availability now.
Hartsfield ETM: 3//8" A2 blade. Yes, 3/8" thick. On a kiridashi. Chisel grind 1.5" cutting edge length. 3.5" from tip to black over tan handle wrap, and an overall length of 5.75". Black leather overall metal sheath, partial paper liner where the grind on the knife is. Great condition, but note small scratches at his chop engraving and scratching along the cutting edge. Not too many ETMs with handle wraps on them in the 3/8" stock. Price is SPF
Hartsfield Little One: 1/4" A2 blade. 2.5" cutting edge on the chisel ground edge with an overall length of 5.5". Rosewood handles. Brown leather over metal with a leather lining. Absolutely excellent condition, given the age. No scratches or scuffs, and I've owned it since the mid 90's. But, time for it to go to a new owner. Price is SOLD.
Daniel Certo/Relentless Knives (Top Knife): 5160 steel with a handle thickness of about 3/16" and a blade thickness somewhere around .125". 2.5" cutting edge and an overall length of 7.25". 4" from tip to handle wrap. Kind of a rough parkerized finish to it, but doesn't appear to have much use. Black cord wrapped handle. Sheath is leather, with a secondary slot to it. Price is $75...$65...$50 shipped...$40 shipped for this unique blade.
Nick Wheeler Pocket Fixed: Insanely cool little fixed blade from bladesmith Nick Wheeler. Made from his own damascus with a brut de forge handle and blade accents. 6" overall length with a 2.75" cutting edge. Handle thickness is about 3/16", while the spine thickness is a little over 1/8". Spine and handle has been crowned, and is super comfortable in hand. Nick's exceptional leather pocket sheath included. I'm the original owner and it was very lightly carried for a couple of dress up occasions, but not used so I'd call it excellent condition. SOLD
Farid Fixed: D3 steel, 1/4" stock, a 2.75 cutting edge length and a 6.5" overall length. Chisel ground, with a pretty trick fuller on the ground side. Orange cord wrapping done by me, but it's put on loosely so you can change it to whatever you want, or leave it naked as it arrived from the maker. Perfectly ground and near mint condition. Original owner. A cool knife done only like Farid can do them. No sheath. SOLD
Sean Perkins Kerver: Tiny but mighty, coming from one of the OG BF makers. Sean made these in the late '90's from differently heat treated 1/4" A2. And a 2" blade length, with OAL at 4". Chisel and convex ground blade, with texturing. Thick leather pocket sheath by maker. Original owner, but never carried or used. It does have light scratching on the blade, but Sean did working finishes on these, so part of them are original from the maker. Some light age related discoloration here and there on the blade. SOLD
Unknown Integral Camp Knife: Totally lost the information on the smith that made this. He was young, and a member of the Bladesmith's Forum when I bought it off of him. Even though he was a beginning maker, he had a lot of promise. This one has an 8" cutting edge and a blade length of 8,75 to the integral bolster. 14.25" OAL from 1095 with some a faint hamon to it and a 3/16" spine. Walnut handle and a single pin. It has a smaller but still comfortable handle, so if you if you have ginormous hands, this one may not be for you. There is some peppering and dark freckles on the one side, with some pitting on the same side at the bolster area. Why, I don't know, but you can see it in the pics. Left hand leather sheath with a frog. Despite the cosmetics, it would make a fantastic user while being relatively light for it's size. sold
