Some impulse buying over the past month or two as things come in from Blade Show to the dealers has me Marie Kondo-ing the knife cabinet again to make room for my Carothers Kukri preorder in the cabinet and the budget.
Top to Bottom:
1. Stroker Knives Gunstock Jack. Machine satin MagnaCut blade, integral stainless bolsters/liners, brown stabilized crosscut mammoth ivory covers. New and unused. New-to-Bladeforums maker. Quality is very good. Firm, but pinchable pull, half stop, flush backspring in all three positions, good blade centering with no rub. There may be a faint crack in one of the covers by the pin, which I have highlighted. You can't even catch it with your fingernail, and it's hard to photograph. Was $512.74 from maker after shipping, yours for $275.
2. Koenig/Sharknivco Mini Goblin. Polished flats M390 blade, sea-wave milling on the handle, silver hardware. New and unused, just don't care for the handle ergos compared to the Mini Arius. This retails at $805, let's try $675.
3. Nicholas Nichols Guppy. Blackwash MagnaCut blade, heat-flamed Ti handle, "Watermelon Sugar" CamoCarbon inlay. Very lightly carried, may have opened a package. I believe this was $450 when I purchased it directly from Nick, let's try $350.
4. Dan Tope Knives Stryker. Six-inch acid-washed CPM3V blade, thick red fiber liners with vintage Westinghouse brown micarta scales, mosaic pins and decorative maker's mark pin. Custom sheath by Chad Pirtle in oxblood with Mummert clip. New and unused, but has bounced around as my fidgeting knife on my computer desk for a bit. This was $650 from maker and the sheath was another $200, but let's try $450 shipped.
Under no circumstances will I e-mail you requesting payment without a conversation on the forum. I do not request payment by Zelle, PayPal F&F, CashApp, or Venmo (I do accept payment by these methods but will never ask for it).
***NOTE*** I have school starting up, and work is crazy, so same-day shipping may not necessarily happen, but I will clearly communicate shipping plans
Terms and Conditions
PayPal G&S preferred. Most other payment options acceptable.
I ship promptly, either same or next day depending on time of payment, by USPS Priority Mail, fully insured, and with signature confirmation required on delivery upon buyer request or if the insured value is >$500 per USPS policy. I will promptly notify buyer of any delay in shipping. Contact me prior to payment for other shipping options.
I request buyer reply promptly after receipt to confirm delivery and satisfaction. If I have not heard from you within three days of delivery confirmation, I will consider the sale final. No returns for buyer's remorse. I make careful effort to accurately describe and photograph knives I sell or trade, but if you feel that the knife was not accurately described, please contact me within three days of receipt to arrange return and refund and send me a picture of the defect.
I'll leave positive feedback for any buyer who posts in the sale thread, pays reasonably promptly and promptly notifies me when they receive the knife.
International Buyers
Contact me prior to sending payment to verify payment and shipping plans. Any international buyer assumes full responsibility for the knife once shipped - I will accurately describe it on a customs declaration in terms of description and sale value (not label it a 'camping or gardening tool' or mark the value to be minimal or 'gift') and international buyers assume all risk of customs confiscation or shipping loss. For international buyers using mail forwarding services from the U.S., my responsibility ends once the knife has been received by your mail forwarding service.
