Here's a bunch of safe queens that need new homes. Specifics wise, no trades, and shipping via USPS with DC included in price. International shipping can be worked out, but you have to assume the risk of loss. Paypal preferred, USPS money orders accepted. If you would like more pics or a better description, just let me know.
Fred Perrin Chopper: One of a kind. This monster has a 7 and 7/8" blade (5160 steel) out of .270 stock and a 13" overall length and a convex grind. Black over red cord wrapped handle that's been stabilized with epoxy. Excellent kydex sheath from Fred as well. Knife has Fred's usual finish, if ya know what I mean.
Never used, and owned for years by me. Price is $350...$325...$310. If you're a fan of Fred's work, this one will not disappoint.
JD Smith (MS) Utility: Multibar damascus that's about 8 and 5/8" OAL, blade length of around 4".. The handle is actually reverse tapered...it starts thick at the butt (.362") and tapers to about 1/4" at the plunge line. Spine and perimeter of handle have been etched to show pattern as well. Excellent condition, as it's never left my display cabinet. Price is $300...$270 shipped, an absolute steal compared to his other (amazing) work. No sheath, but will ship in a padded case. Great knife from a great ABS Mastersmith.
John Campbell Hunter (left side of pic): 4.5" blade from hollow ground 3/16" 440-C, and an overall length of 8.5". Pretty much a mirror finish on it, with brass crossguard and I believe olivewood handle scales on a gently tapered tang. Excellent leather sheath by maker is included, but there is some storage wear on the sheath. Overall the knife is in excellent unused condition and a price of $100...$80...$75 shipped. Excellent old school hunter.
Mickey Yurco Tiny Skeleton: 4" overall and a 1.75" blade out of 3/16" 440-C. Comes with Mickey's great leatherwork for belt carry. Absolutely awesome little blade done with Mickey's usual attention to detail. Mint condition, and a price of SOLD shipped.
Stonewood Design Neck Knife (right side of pic): One of the first neck knives out of Stonewood Designs (www.stone-wood.com) These guys are making some incredible attention to detail knives with jeweler precision. This one is from 1095 with a 3 3/8" overall length and a 1 3/8" blade with a 1/4" blade thickness. Handle scales are 1095 with brass pins holding them on, and are just sssmmmooootttthhhh. Filework on spine for thumb. Excellent kydex neck sheath from maker. Knife is pretty much unused and mint, but there is some pitting where rust was around the lanyard hole from being worn once. Hot, humid Savannah summers and heavy sweating put a stop to wearing it after the first time. My loss, your gain price wise though. I paid SOLD.
RW (Ron) Clark Aikuchi: 9" overall length and about a 5" blade length from differentially heat treated 0-1 steel. Thickest part of the spine at the ricasso measures out at .170". Blade has a "peaked" spine, the proper name which escapes me right now, but it is awesome. Black over burgundy/red ray skin wrapped handle with an epoxy finish. Ron made some absolutely fantastic blades back in the late '90's to early 00"s and has since retired I believe. It does have a kydex sheath, but was "modified" by previous owner and caused a few scratches on the right hand side of the blade, although I've never used it. I'll try to get a pic of the scratches tomorrow. Rare to find now, and priced at SOLD shipped.
