I now have pictures of the Siegles, the Schneider, the used Lainhart/united Jungle Machete, and a few others that I can email.

-a Bill Siegle 6" recurve blade camp knife that I got in a trade, 1/4" full flat grind of 5160 (that you can see the temper line on),black micarta(I think,maybe G10) handles,it is very similar to his Hoodlum but with a little more recurve,not as much guard to the handle,the handle has more gentle flowing curves and is black,kydex sheath with techlock, never carried,used, or sharpened etc.,pic.s available that I can email

-An early Bill Siegle 8" bladed(with the older circular saw blade Siegle logo) Bowie,walnut handle,kydex sheath,was told it was not used but had been sharpened,has a few small gray areas on the blade and some light sheath scratches,pic.s available that I can email

-a Carl Schneider forged 1095 mini blade (about 2" blade,about 4 1/4" overall,about 5/8" wide,3/16" thick,no handle slabs)no sheath,unused

-an older version of the Cold Steel Trailmaster bowie in Carbon V with the heavier convex edge grind,unused,unsharpened,etc.in box,it has a couple of small gray areas on the blade and the brass guard needs shined up a little but its a great looking big knife.

-a very slightly used Livesay Woo, may have been sharpened and has sheath wear

-a very slightly used Livesay SOP with some sheath wear

-a discontinued NIB ATS34 George Lainhart Special Forces Jungle Machete he had produced by United Cutlery.This is a very nice production version of his custom machete, and one of the few machetes anywhere made of 3/16" ATS34.

-another discontinued ATS34 George Lainhart Special Forces Jungle Machete he had produced by United Cutlery.This one is a little used,has some finish wear,but definately not hurt.

-an unused discontinued Cold Steel Special Projects Warhead

-2) unused Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel

-a new in box(but the box is not in good shape) carbon steel Sharpfinger

-a nib sebertool

May do multiple trades as appropriate for Busse Basic 9,Battle Mistress, a Chris Reeves fixed blade, SwampRat BattleRat,HowlingRat,Ratchet,Camp Tramp,or a Casio 3 sensor.


Thanks for looking
 
I own one of the Lainhart designed SEAL machetes in the ATS 34. IT has the Birdsongs black coating which for its time was probably the nicest coating going. That being said this particular knife is the real deal. I mean it is an excellant tool. Anyone wanting a big ass camp knife/chopper you won't go wrong with this knife. I don't know this gentleman selling/trading but this is just an unbiased opinion as I own one. keepem sharp
