Cold Steel Bowie Spike and Urban Pal: Selling these together and original owner of both. The Bowie Spike is in uncarried and unused condition, with one small scratch on the blade as you can see in the photo and can only be seen depending on how the light hits the blade. No box. The Urban Pal has been carried and used as you can see in the photos. Edge is still in fairly good condition, given the age of it. Price is $75...$60...$50...$47.50...$45.00...$40 shipped for both.

CRKT Ryan Plan B and CRKT RMJ Cordite combination: Original owner of both. The Plan B was bought when they first came out in the early 00's. Unused and uncarried but does have sheath wear in the beadblasting on both sides of the finger guard. The RMJ Cordite is unused and uncarried, has the clip attachment and screws in the original bag, and the revolver cylinder bead that it came with. This was a RMJ and Ruger design from probably 10 (?) years ago. Solid and comfortable design with a great blade shape. Price for both is $60...$50...$40...$37.50...$35 shipped.

Soviet Cosmonaut/MIG Machete: Original owner, bought from a dealer in the 90's. These were issued for Russian Cosmonaut and MiG fighter pilots in their survival kits during the Soviet era. Unused and sat in a display case for a couple of decades. Fireproof rubber handle is in perfect condition, blade finish is excellent, and the edge is original. These do not have a perfect edge. Out of the several that I looked at it when I bought it they all had various degrees of slight edge chipping/rolling, probably from storage or transportation since these are from probably the early 80's at the latest. These were meant to self extract out of a wreckage and give you a tool to survive until you could be extricated. Sheath is nylon, excellent velcro and the original lanyard. One corner and the bottom of the sheath does have some fraying that you can see in the pic, with a couple of loose stitches on the opposite corner. These are pretty rare now, given the state of age and Russian relations at the moment. There was a Ukrainian dealer last year that had a few for sale at 300, but that source has dried up. SOLD

WWI Plumb Bolo: Circa 1918 date stamp under the Plumb mark, however also has a 1917 date on the opposite ricasso. Condition is the usual for these, with the usual use and patinas. Crossguard is still rock solid, no cracks or looseness to the handle scales. Someone in the past century did had some slight finger grooves to the handle. No sheath, but you can find original sheaths for about 15 or 20 bucks on the 'bay. SPF (Garand bayonet in the pic has been sold)

Boyt made WW2 USMC Bolo Sheath: Solid condition with stitching intact. It's Boyt made, so it was done very well. Does show scratches and someone's initials carved into the surface, as seen in the pics and some verdigris on the rivets. SPF (Pics of it with bayonet below)

Take both the Bolo and the sheath for SPF
WW2 Japanese Type 30 Arisaka School Student Training Bayonet: These were in effect training bayonets that were used to teach Japanese school students the use of bayonets in WW2. Quality of them varied widely and most had no edge, with construction varying widely as well. They weren't made for combat, but for training teenagers to fight. Interesting history behind them if you decide to research them online. This one is better built then most that I've seen. The crossguard is loose, but still retains the two pins through the ricasso. Button mechanism is still nice and springy and better fitted then most. Original scabbard retains some of the original laquer and is a good fit. SOLD

Almost forgot these.

Traditional Japanese Cleaver with cord wrapped handle: Beautiful cleaver and workmanship, but I have no idea what the intended purpose of it was. I've had it for years, but unsure as to when it was made. Blade appears to be a san-mai laminate, probably/maybe Hitachi White, at least for the core cutting edge. Cutting edge comes in at 6 and 1/8", with an OAL of 14.5" to the back of the ring. Width of blade is about 2 and 5/8" and thickness is about 5/16" with a very slight taper to towards the handle. Cotton wrapped handle that appears to be original. Lacquered blade in perfect condition with no signs of use. No sheath. It's a mystery, and if you know the intended purpose let me know, and I do have close ups of the makers marks on the blade. Price is $200...$170...$150...$140...$130...$120...$110...$105 shipped.

Traditional Nata (Kakuri brand): Original owner, and bought it in the early 90's. Blade is made from Yasugi (or Yasuki) White Steel, with more info here: https://oishya.com/journal/yasugi-steel-makes-great/. 8.5" cutting edge length and an OAL of about 16.25". Traditional white oak handle with blue collar. Never used, only displayed. Sheath is traditional saya wood core with a vinyl covering in unused shape, except for the keeper strap that has completely lost all form. If you intend to use it, it would be a very easy to fix to replace it, as it's simply riveted on. Price is $100...$75...$65...$55...$50 shipped. Much better quality and overall balance in hand versus most that I've seen today.

Small woodworking cleaver: This is a heavy duty little carpenters cleaver. Vintage, and probably from around the '60s probably. A little over a 3.25" chisel ground blade and an OAL of about 7.25". Thickness is about 3/8". Steel wise, it's a mono type tool steel, as it's rust resistant although it does have a few small pits of corrosion on it from the years and some light scratching. Traditional rattan wrapping is in good condition and still tight with a painted blue pommel. Blade cover has some wear, but functional. Does have a blade cover, stitched leather that shows wear as seen. Cool heavy tool that you don't see too much. Price is $100...$80...$70...$60..$50...$45 shipped.

Reduced the price of the largest cleaver, but the other prices remain pretty much the same since shipping is included in the price.
 
Final price reductions on the CS and CRKT.

Cleavers still available at the lowest prices they're going to be. They do have some weight and with shipping included in the price, I really can't go lower for the quality they offer.
