Not looking for trades, I have too many knives!
Post "I'll take it" here on the thread for anything you want, in addition to PMing or emailing me through the forum.
Prices include shipping/insurance to anywhere in the US. Payment by paypal (I'll eat the fees) or USPS money order. Additional shipping charges for International, and (of course) only limited shipping insurance available. I WILL NOT lie on a customs form--if you can't legally have something, don't buy it.
Bladeforums is not always reliable notifying me of replies or messages--if you don't hear from me immediately don't worry, if you were the first take something then it's yours.
Please carefully inspect knives upon receiving them. I try to be meticulous about finding flaws, but if I miss something, let me know immediately, and we can talk about either an adjustment to the price if you still want it, or a complete refund in addition to me covering the return shipping. My reputation is important to me, and I'll never try to slip anything by you.
Here we go!


Bobby Wetten Bowie--8 1/4" blade, 13 1/2" overall. 0.220" 1075 steel. Blade is distal tapered. Nickel Silver guard, ferrule and pin. Black walnut handle with tung oil finish. Leather sheath by Paul Whittle. Never used or carried, minor storage mark on side of guard, hard to capture on camera. I want to make this absolutely clear---this is a FIGHTING bowie with a dramatic taper towards the point and a central balance. This is a fast slasher, NOT a tree-limber or wannabe hatchet. Gorgeous and feels great in the hand. $300




Brian Johnson Non-Folding Hunter--3 5/8" blade, 8 1/2" overall. 0.190" O1 steel. Rosewood (I think) handle scales with brass bolsters. Fileworked spine. This is Brian's take on the Buck 110, just without a lock or pivot...or a slot in the handle. No real dings or damage anywhere, but this is a user and has been through a LOT of deer, and has the darkening to prove it. Has been resharpened, but I never leave sharpening marks on a blade. Steel wool and flitz would get this looking pretty sharp pretty fast, but I wanted you to see the actual state it's currently in. Can't find the damned sheath--if I do, I'll send it to you. By the way, it was a recurve even when it was new...it hasn't been sharpened THAT much. $50 now $40 Sold



Bailey Hunter--4" blade, 8 3/8" overall. 0.210" W2 steel, distal tapered. Bias-cut old micarta looks like wood. Great leather sheath. Very small dark spots near tip, and around spine. Never used, sharpened, or carried. $185 now $150 SOLD



Up-Armored Menace--6 1/2" blade, 12" overall. 0.170" 1095CV steel. Textured G11 handle scales. Duracoat finish in jungle skull pattern, both knife and sheath. Spec Ops sheath. Brand new, been sitting in my safe for 8 years. $210 now $170 SOLD

Bailey Recurve Canadian Pattern--5 1/4" blade, 10 1/2" overall. .240" 1095 steel. Bocote scales with G10 bolsters. File-worked spine, leather sheath. This one has a little pitting going on towards the tip; very minor but obviously affects the value and makes this a user. $105 Sold



Hankins Small Fighter-- 5 1/4" blade, 10" overall. 0.188" 5160 steel. Stacked rubber and G10 discs for handle with thin bronze spacers. Deep hollow grind on main blade transitions into a heavy convex reinforced tip. Blackhawk nylon sheath with kydex liner. Never used or carried but handle has some marks (actually, I think it came with them--hard to achieve a perfect finish on rubber). $120 now $95 SOLD


Hankins Bolo Camp--7 1/4" blade, 12.5" overall. 0.220" 5160 steel. "Breaker" grind on spine is not sharpened. Acid-etched blade, guard and butt but convex primary grind is in the white. Stipled texture on guard and butt. Frame construction black G10 handle with thin bronze spacers. Excellent Kenny Rowe leather sheath is set up for right side hip/back carry with the handle butt forward. Never carried but knife has been stropped and you can see in the last two pics where some of the etching is washed out right at the juncture of the flats and primary grind. $150 Sold



Chip Kunkle Small Fighter-- 4 1/2" blade, 8 3/4" overall. 0.180" 52100 steel. Convex grind, 416 stainless guard. Ironwood mortised-tang handle. Leather sheath has lizard skin inlay and concealex retainer which allows the knife to be drawn without opening the snap. Pin-prick corrosion spots on the right side of ricasso, had to use the macro setting to capture them but imperfect is imperfect so $200 became $140 now $120 SOLD


Daniel Prentice Sharpfinger--4" blade, 7 5/8" overall. 0.188" 1084 steel. Bocote handle. Blade has patina/stain from cutting apples, though I went ahead and gave the whole knife an apple massage to even the color out. The leather sheath fits okay but the knife is handle heavy and I was a little worried about retention, so I added the eyelet, thong, and bail to the sheath. NO WAY it'll fall out now, but you can snip the lanyard off in 1.34 seconds if you don't like it. :) Cool and comfortable little working knife for $45 SOLD

Steve Voorhis Fighter--6 1/2" blade, 11 5/8" overall. 0.25" 5160 steel, mirror polished. Nickel guard, black canvas micarta handle with red liners. I got this from a guy I knew who carried it in Afghanistan; it was dull when I received it so I touched the edge up. Tang has been blued. The blade has spots/marks from carry and use, only one spot near the tip that I'd call a pit. The old sheath was in such sad shape that I tossed it. A new, perfect one from Steve would run $350 or so, so one that's been to war (but obviously didn't lose) is $130. SOLD



Eric Knight Utility--4" blade, 8 1/2" overall. 0.20" 52100 steel. Convex ground, acid etched blade, brass guard. Frame-construction handle out of camo and black phenolic with 550 cord laced through the tube fasteners for added grip, but again you could cut and remove this in a second if you don't want it. Kydex pouch-style sheath. Never used, carried, sharpened. $65 now $50 SOLD



Giedymin Chopper--12" blade, 19" overall. 0.26" NZ3 carbon steel. Carbon fiber handle. Visible hamon just couldn't get it to photograph. Teeny tiny storage scratch on right side (look between the two bright spots in the last pic), can't feel it but it's visible in the right light. $230 SOLD



Bailey Small Fighter—4 1/4" blade, 9 1/4" overall. 0.180" 1084 steel. Black linen micarta handle with G10 spacers. Visible hamon. Stainless guard shows some small scratches from excellent (best out there) Okuden kydex sheath, which I can either provide an IWB belt loop or Teklok for. Never used or sharpened, though I think I carried it once or twice. $165 Sold




Bailey Fat Nosed Skinner--4" blade, 9" overall. 0.25" 1095 steel, file-worked spine. Natural canvas micarta handle. Matt said of this as a little hatchet as much as a skinner. Kind of an ulu with a western handle. Leather sheath. Never used, carried, or sharpened. $180 Sold

Check your profile page, you have a new message. :)

But while we’re on the subject, I’ll take $10 off any knife on the thread today for those who take one and pay before 6:00 pm central, as that’ll save me extra post office runs. :)
