As posted previously, I am offering the following knives for sale only because I need to liquidate assets so I can purchase photography equipment. Were it not for that, the knives would not be offered for sale.

There are two threads of knives for sale: one for customs and one for production knives. There are 16 knives (total) up for sale.

Once 15 of the remaining knives are sold, I will draw a name (from the names of those who have purchased a knife) and award the winner the final remaining knife free of charge. Each purchase equates to one chance. The free knife will be the last unsold knife.

The following is a list of names already in the drawing:

Blaid
Danketch
Pilsburythrowboy12
RKMoore
w.t. anderson
magnumb
kmj153 (X2)
Darbyfett

If the remaining knives do not sell, I will close this thread and hold the drawing from the list of buyers. In that case, the awarded knife will be a knife of my choosing. The remaining knives will either go up on the auction site, or be kept as I had originally intended.


I accept paypal, USPS Money Orders, and personal checks (held until cleared). I will ship USPS priority mail, signature required, with insurance. Those who live outside the lower 48 (CONUS) will be responsible for additional shipping costs. I'll use the USPS website to approximate actual shipping costs. The prices listed include all costs for those in the lower 48 (CONUS).

Please post that you will take the knife, then contact me (email is best) for my paypal (or mailing) address. First in, first out - the first person claiming the knife, wins the knife.

Please - no lowball offers. The prices listed are extremely fair and far less than what I paid for the knife.

At these prices I cannot offer a return policy. If you feel I have somehow misrepresented the condition of the knife, please contact me. Otherwise, the knife is sold as is.

I will offer a discount if multiple knives are purchased at one time. That saves me shipping costs; which will be passed onto you. Take $5 off each additional knife purchased.

Lon Humphrey

Da Brute (X2) - $140.00 each Top knife is SOLD to Wrightknife

http://lonhumphreyknives.com

1/4" at the spine. I think the steel used is 1084, but I'm not positive. The handles are Curly Maple. Black liners on both. Mosaic pins on one, stainless pins on the other.

I really cannot recall if I've used either of these knives or not. They certainly don't look as though they've seen any use, but if I did use them it was only for a few minutes (to test the sharpness). Both knives have some heft to them and feel great in hand. Lon does terrific work and these two are fine examples of his skill. They're beautiful works of art in my opinion.

Both knives are very sharp and would make fantastic hard-use knives.

They come with the leather sheaths that were provided when I bought the knives from Lon. The sheaths are Bark River sheaths and while adequate, aren't exact fits for the knives. I find the sheaths to be a little bit tight, but that could be considered a good thing I suppose. I had always planned on having custom sheaths made for these two beauties, but never got around to doing so.





Ryan Weeks

Wood Drake - $150.00 SOLD to jboylermaker

1/8th" 1080 steel. Black/Green G10 with Maple inlay and black liners.

Multi carry leather sheath.

This is a gorgeous knife. It feels oh-so-wonderful in hand and balances wonderfully.

Unfortunately it arrived with a toothier edge than I like, so I sharpened it with my Work Sharp sharpener. That was a mistake (on my part)- as I ended up with marks on the blade. The marks might buff out - I don'tknow, since I didn't try - but they don't affect the blade (other than looks).Take a careful look at the pictures - as the scuff marks do show up in them.

This knife is priced substantially lower than the price I paid. It is likely the best bargain in a bunch of great bargains.

Other than the scuff marks, the knife is in brand new condition. I haven't used the knife at all - but the blade does have scuff marks from my sharpening efforts. BTW - it is sharp now.




Wohlwend

Nessie - $140.00 SPF to baylea

1/8th" steel (1095 - I think), Bloodwood handles with black liners.

This knife is unused.

This is a gorgeous knife. The handles fill your hand nicely and have a warmth that only wood gives. It comes with a leather sheath (the knife sits deep in the sheath).

JK Handmade Knives

http://jkhandmadeknives.com/

Scandi - $100.00 SOLD to venmm73

1/8th" 01 steel. I think the handles are Maple Burl,but I am not positive about that.

This knife has seen (very) slight use in carving wood. For this task it is perfect - it is nimble, easy to control, and it bites deep when required.

I didn't notice any scuff marks on the blade, but I would assume that there are a few. It comes with a leather sheath.



Roach Belly - $140.00

1/8th" 01 steel. Torched Oak handles. Brass pins

This knife is unused.

1 of 3 Roach Belly knives John has made. It is offered at a substantial discount from the price I paid.

There are some scuff marks on the blade. I sharpened it with the Work Sharp and the plastic guides tend to scuff up the blade. The scuff marks should buff out, but I haven't made the attempt.

There is something primal about this knife - it just feels like you're back in the frontier days when holding this one. It's got a great balance to it, with enough belly to justify everyday kitchen use. This knife would be the perfect tool for camp or general use.

If it doesn't sell at this price, I will keep it.




Combat - $140.00 SPF to baylea

1/4" 01 steel. Bloodwood & Black Micarta handles.Stainless pins.

This knife is unused.

1 of 2 Combat knives John has made. This one features a convexed edge.

It is a somewhat hefty knife and provides one with the feeling that you could tackle hell itself with this knife in your hand. The handle is very comfortable and does of fine job of providing the warmth of wood with the grip of micarta. It comes with a leather sheath.

This knife would be a perfect choice if you use your knife hard - batonning with it will be no problem at all.

If you're familiar with John's work, you know his knives are superb tools. This knife is no exception; it will easily outlast you and the years of service you'll get from it.



RUSK - $140.00

3/16th" 01 steel. Ebony handles with red liners

This knife is unused.

1 of 3 that John has made.

It has some heft to it and is balanced very well. This would be my choice of knives if I needed a rugged tool to puncture things and split firewood. I think this knife would also make a very fine slicer - thanks to the curve of the blade. It comes with a leather sheath.



Galley Wag - $150.00 Withdrawn - I'm keeping it

1/16th" 01 steel. Ebony handles with brass pins.

This knife is unused.

This one was on and off the sell list multiple times. If knives can legitimately be described as "sexy" this one is. It just looks, and feels, fantastic. I think this one would be perfect in the kitchen or in the camp.

It made the sell list only because I really need the photo-gear, and it hasn't seen any use at all. Comes with a leather sheath.

This is the perfect kitchen/camp knife. Slicing is what this knife is all about, yet John's heat-treat means you won't have to worry about breakage (unless you are actually trying to break it).

This is another knife that will stay with me if it doesn't sell at the price offered. I've already offered a hefty discount on it, and anything less just wouldn't be worth losing it.




Thanks for looking

You should have shot me an Email about the scratches Tahts-a-dats-ago I could have cleaned up the scratches and put the edge you wanted on her...

jboylermaker, if you want to cover shipping both ways I would be happy to clean her up for you...

WOW.

Now that is customer service.

Thank you Ryan, and thank you for making the offer to jboylermaker too.
 
This one is almost done. Only 3 knives left (4 if you count the one remaining in my other thread).

Those remaining knives are:

1. Lon Humphrey Da Brute (the one in the bottom picture).

2. JK Roach Belly

3. JK RUSK

Once two of those 3 (above) knives are sold, the remaining knife (from those 3) will be gifted to one of the people who bought a knife. That list of names is featured above (and includes everyone who has thus far bought one of the knives I have listed for sale).

The 3 knives are all roughly equal in value - somewhere in the range of $175 to $200 (that is what I paid for them) - so someone is going to get (absolutely free) a very nice knife.

Thank you very much to those who have bought one of the knives I've listed. I will hold the drawing as soon as the next two knives are sold.
