Here's a few, pretty much all one of a kinds, with the exception of the unknown. Emergency vet bills have a way of being spendy, but my best bud is aok now. If you have any questions or need photos or another video, just let me know. No trades for now. Prices include shipping. Shipment via USPS and I'll send you the tracking number afterwards. I'd prefer to keep all communications either in the thread or through PMs, and I won't be contacting you via email or text messages just to keep the scam element away. Payment via PP GandS, Venmo, Zelle, etc.

And thanks for looking!

Hartsfield One of a Kind: Only one I've seen like it, kind of a super-sized Little One in blade and handle shape. 1/4" A2 with a right hand chisel grind of 3.75" cutting edge, around 4.25" from tip to handle wrap with an OAL of a little shy of 8". Never used, carried and in near mint condition. Sheath is leather lined metal with leather overwrap, spring clip on the back. Superb Hartsfield in every aspect, and you will not find another one. Relisted on customs forum.

Liontribe Design Kwaiken: 1/4" 5160 with a 3.75" cutting edge and a 4.5" tip to handle wrap length. 7.75" OAL. Handle has a glow in the dark cord wrap with a black silk overwrap, epoxy sealed. Leather sheath from maker. Excellent condition and original owner, carried maybe once or twice but beyond cutting paper, never used. Very solid blade with great ergos and great grinds on it. SOLD

Brian Higer One of a kind: Brian was a knifemaker as well as a glass artist from around Cincinnati. His knives very rarely come on the market, and I've had this one for about twenty years. Made from 5/16" A2 and convex ground, it has a 5" cutting edge, 5.5 length to handle, and an OAL of 9.25. Tapered from handle to point with a relatively fine point. Back edge is semi sharp, but could be sharpened if that's your choice. Glass beaded finish with stripes. Handle is proprietary from the maker, named Gargoyle Hide and takes 9 hours to apply and cure. Basically, it's a kind of powdered aluminum glass embedded in an epoxy base that is chemically impervious. WAY nonslip and permanently bonded to the underlayer of handle steel. Thick kydex sheath. Unused, but does have scratches from the kydex sheath, as seen in the video as well as three spots near the heel of the right side above the edge. Incredibly cool knife, priced at SOLD

Josh Powell: This was made by one of BF's own knifemakers from years ago. Made from 5/16" 5160 with a 4.25" blade length and an OAL of 8.25. Black gutted paracord wrap done in a very tight macramé wrap for the handle and a good fitting kydex sheath. Spine is domed with a tapered yet strong grind to the tip. Butt of the handle is rounded as well, making it very comfortable in hand. It was carried for a short amount of time and seen light use, as shown in the pics. Withdrawn

I believe the unknown maker may be Kelly Ward, of Hardedge knives. I have the same one.
Cheers

I don't think it was Kelly. I have a couple of his knives, and he tended to make more one of's. The maker of this one did runs of his designs, about ten at a time. There was another one that was listed on ebay probably last year that I had saved in my watch list, but it's gone now.

It is bugging the heck out of me that I can't remember the maker's name! Somewhere, on a salvaged hard drive hidden in a drawer from a long dead laptop is a bookmark with the makers name.😆
 
Good to know. I would have listed mine incorrectly. Now that I hear it that does sound correct. It has indeed been a while.
(Sorry to “chat”)
 
Even cheaper prices.

Custom one of a kinds at the prices for cheaper factory made blades and no interest?l:oops:

Congrats!.. This is the one I have been continually coming back to. I think you bought a very cool knife.
 
Liontribe sold and shipped.

Hartsfield dropped another $10, but that's as low as it goes.
Powell price staying the same, as shipping costs alone will be at least $10 for ground USPS.

BTW, USPS has increased their shipping costs for Christmas Season...already.:oops: And added a warning for shipment delays due to weather. What service for more money!😆
