Hi everyone, I’ve become less interested in knives in the last few years, so here’s a selection of pieces I’m willing to part with. All pieces were acquired around 2004-2012, and were safe queens for me, never carried, sharpened etc (some were acquired second hand, still none looks to my eyes to have ever been sharpened by original owners either). I’m based in Italy, so that’s where I will be shipping things from, and payment through Paypal (PP) is fine. All prices are total prices for the buyer, they are inclusive of shipping through FedEx wherever you live, and already cover PP fees (= PP G&S is fine). I am not interested in trades. I can definitely provide additional pictures if requested.

This thread is a repost and consolidation of other threads I previously posted here (and crossposted on another platform), with only the pieces still available showing.

This thread is for custom fixed blades FS - I also have another thread for custom folders for sale, you can find links in my signature.

Some additional clarification on shipping: to the US, I usually ship FedEx International Priority, which is very safe and very fast: generally takes 2-3 (business) days to get the parcel to your door, depending on where you live. It’s also expensive – costs me around €80, which used to be around $85 some months ago, and now it’s more like $90-95 (EUR/USD exchange rate has been going up).
Which leads me to the other topic: I have quite a few production pieces in NOS/LNIB to excellent conditions that are simply not worth shipping separately (adding $90-ish to their price essentially prices them out of the market ), but could be added with very little extra shipping cost to something else if one has already decided to buy something, making it possible for me to sell them, and for you to buy them (if anyone should happen to be interested).

List of production pieces that could be added to a custom purchase (I can provide pics through DM if anyone’s interested, and we can discuss prices):

• Benchmade BM 420 Snody Resistor – 154CM SW blade
• Benchmade BM 741 Lum Onslaught – 154CM satin blade, 1st production run #472/1000

Mike Williams MS Bowie. Around 11.8” blade (10.8” cutting edge), 17.7” OAL. Weight: 552 g (= 19.5 ounces). This won the best bowie award at Blade Atlanta 2005 (well, actually, the award for “Best Non-damascus Hand-forged Knife”, which just happened to be a bowie ). I got this second hand, around 2007-8, I think. Handle looks to be Desert ironwood, and guard and fittings look to be stainless steel. Don’t quite remember exactly the blade steel, but I think it should be 1095. Top edge is sharp. Comes with its own worked Rowe’s leather sheath, with a safety pin closure (you cannot remove the blade from the sheath when latch is closed). Excellent condition, blade has a few very very faint signs on it (they don’t show on pics) – I’d rate it at 98-99% (it’s a well-kept blade, but it IS from 20 years ago – cannot say it’s at 100%). 2,350 USD, includes PP fees and shipment through FedEx. If somebody would like to buy the whole forged bowie-hunter Mike Williams set (see next post for the hunter), I can let go of both together for USD 2,800.00

Mike Williams MS Hunter. Around 4.4” blade (3.94” cutting edge), 9.25” OAL. Weight: 157 g (= 5.5 ounces). I got this second hand, a bit later than the bowie, and I was told it was from the same 2005 Blade show (but it did not win any award). It definitely has a similar vibe as the bowie, and would make a for a very good set, IMHO. Handle looks to be Desert ironwood, and guard and fittings look to be stainless steel. Not sure what the blade steel is, possibly 52100. Comes with its own worked Rowe’s leather sheath. Excellent condition, blade has a few faint signs on it (they don’t show on pics), sheath has a few dings (you can see them in pics) – I’d rate it at 95%. 650 USD, includes PP fees and shipment through FedEx. If somebody would like to buy the whole forged bowie-hunter Mike Williams set (you can see both together in last couple of pics), I can let go of both together for USD 2,800.00

Shiva Ki very large/monster Spirit blade in clay tempered steel. Around 10.9” blade (10” cutting edge), 16.9” OAL. Weight: 495 g (= 17.46 ounces). I got this second hand, around 2005-2006. This Spirit blade features a clay tempered carbon steel (Shiva Ki did not say what steel it is – read somewhere it should be 1095) clip point blade with false top edge. The handle is comprised of a nickel silver guard and cord wrap over rayskin with a dyed curly maple pommel over hidden tang construction. Includes Shiva’s classic leather sheath with belt loop. Excellent conditions: blade has a few signs on it, but I would say that most, if not all, of them are from the original forging – Shiva was always one for very utilitarian F&F – I’d rate the blade at 98-99%. 2,050 USD, includes PP fees and shipment through FedEx

Tom Ferry MS Damascus Fighter. Around 9” blade (7.7” cutting edge), 14.3” OAL. Weight: 336 g (= 11.85 ounces). I got this second hand – original owner labeled it as a Bowie (you can see the tag on the sheath in pics), from size I’m calling it more of a fighter (in a small-er bowie shape ) Handle looks to be Blackwood or very very dark walnut, and guard and blade are Damascus – don’t remember what steel, but Tom’s preferred steels for damascus are 1084 and 15n20, so it’s likely that’s what was used. Tom’s logo on one side of blade. Top edge is not sharp. Comes with its own frog leather sheath with belt attachment. Excellent condition, cannot see any defects at all on blade, handle has 1-2 dings. 1,250 USD, includes PP fees and shipment through FedEx

Jon P Christensen JS Damascus S-Guard Fighter. Around 10.23” blade (9.4” cutting edge), 15.35” OAL. Weight: 279 g (= 9.84 ounces). I got this second hand. Handle looks to be Ironwood, and guard and blade are Damascus (don’t know precisely what steel was used). Jon’s logo on one side of blade, and “JS” on other side (Jon became an ABS MS in 2006, so this dates from before that). Top edge is not sharp. Comes with its own frog leather sheath with belt attachment. Excellent condition, cannot see any defects at all on blade. 1,150 USD, includes PP fees and shipment through FedEx

E R Andrews II MS Bowie. Around 10.04” blade (9.25” cutting edge), 14.76” OAL. Weight: 404 g (= 14.25 ounces). I got this directly from Les Robertson, I’m the first owner.

Coffin handle in Desert Ironwood, with a nickel silver Tombstone guard, butt cap and escutcheon. Blade steel is forged 5160. Blade’s marked with “J. Anders JS” on one side. Jerome earned his MS stamp in 2004, so this dates from before that (I think I got it around 2005-2006). Top edge is not sharp. Comes with its own frog leather sheath, marked “B” within a shield on back (should be a Mike Bartol sheath, iirc). Excellent condition. 900 USD, includes PP fees and shipment through FedEx

The bowie features a hand rub satin finished blade (0.35” stock), marked “BRION” on one side and “JS” on other side , with a desert ironwood handle.

Todd Begg fixed blade knife bought from EDC Knives around 2008-2010, not sure about the model name – I seem to remember “Marauder”, and that it might have been a prototype, but I could not find anything by Todd by that name around. It does look quite a bit like his Crusader model, so my memory might simply be defective. 11” OAL, around 5.1” cutting blade, full tang construction. Weight: 215g (= 7.58 ounces). Satin finished clip point recurve blade with false top edge, notched thumbrest, worked (hammered?) spine. The handle has carbon fiber scales with brown micarta inlays, does NOT have a lanyard hole. Steel is not marked, but I think it’s CPM S30V. Does not have a sheath, and would come with an Uncle Al case (shown in pics). 950.00 USD, includes PP fees and shipment through FedEx

Rob Patton forged fighter. Around 9.84” blade (9.45” cutting edge), 15.0” OAL. Weight: 269 (= 9.5 ounces). I got this from EDC Knives around 2005. Rob Patton was an ABS JS (now retired from knifemaking) who did excellent work, IMHO – not flashy, but still beautiful and very functional and effective. This knife was differentially forged from a file, and still shows the original teeth (if that is what one calls them? – see pics) on the spine and near the hilt. Steel, I think, is W2. Beautiful hamon lines. Blade is not marked (probably because his usual “PATTON” logo would have gone on the teeth?). Full tang construction, handle is tiger eye maple, contoured and sort of sculpted? (see pics). Guard looks to be in blue steel. Comes with its own leather sheath, reinforced with metal, worked in an old frontier style. Excellent condition, handle has 1-2 light dings, and guard has some discoloration – I’d rate it at 95%. 1,000 USD, includes PP fees and shipment through FedEx

Hey, I never received email notification on your reply at my ATR question in your previous thread, just saw it now. My email is rockyzz@seznam.cz if you still cant dm for whatever reason. Let me know what youd want for it, thanks!

The OP is a paying member so he should be able to PM. Posting your email is going to attract scammers. It sounds like it may have already. I would pay for a membership if I were you and PM the OP on here and avoid email.

OP I apologize for commenting on your thread. GLWS

OP I apologize for commenting on your thread

Not a problem, understandable concern.

The OP is a paying member so he should be able to PM

I can (obviously) DM, but I cannot DM silenz, nor can he DM me, as he (apparently) is not a paying member.

The failed email notification he mentions is, I think, about this: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/reposted.2041615/post-23136129 - he (apparently) did not see the BF system email notifcation about my answer to his question (all that should have happened a couple of months ago...) - not about somebody other than me (= a scammer) contacting him about something now.

I've already emailed him and advised him to delete his email addy from the thread - not a good idea to leave it around, very much agree.

Edited to add: and yep, paying for some sort of basic membership enabling one to DM would be a whole lot safer and preferable - also not that expensive.
