Y'all know the drill - I have new knives coming up soon, and something has to go. These are all excellent knives but for one reason or another I don't carry them.
First is a Case 3299 1/2 that I picked up about a year ago. It was made in 1975 and is in amazing shape for its age. The blades have never been used, near as I can tell, and the delrin is perfect except for a crack from the center pin on the on the pile side. The bolsters have microscratches but they can be buffed out. The price is $60, which includes Paypal fees and shipping.
This is a sodbuster with green canvas micarta covers made by Keith Johnson. It's an exceptionally nice knife and perfect for people who prefer a lighter backspring. I'd call it maybe a 4 on a 1-10 scale. The steel is 1095, which is a little unusual, as Keith mainly uses stainless steels now. It's uncarried, and only used to open a letter or two. I'd keep it except I have another of Keith's sodbusters and I much prefer a stout backspring. The price is $225, which includes Paypal fees and shipping.
Last I have an ulu made by G. L. Drew, which I'd call pretty traditional. I bought it from Gerry a while back intending to use it in the kitchen, but it doesn't really fit in with my style and habits so it needs to go. I can't recall the steel, but it's liable to be 5160. I know that it's not stainless. It comes with a very sturdy sheath that I believe was made by Gerry. The price is $100 Sold, which includes Paypal fees and shipping.
