I have to cull the heard to get some bills paid. "Tis the season.:grumpy:
Chris Peterson Camp Knife: 7.5" cutting edge, 14" OAL out of 1/4" 5160 or 1095. I believe it's 1095 IIRC. Knife is mint from maker, as is a very nicely heavy leather sheath. Handles are kind of a camo pakkawood laminate with red liners. Blade balances right at the ricasso, and is lively. Heavy duty, and really interesting grinds on it. Price: $200. Drop to $180....$170...$160...$150....$140...$130...$125...On hold...SOLD
Michael Rader (ABS Journeyman Smith) Bolo: 10 3/8" blade, and 15 3/4" OAL. 1/4" 90 Layer Damascus blade from a mixture of 5160, 8660, and 15n20. Gorgeous striped maple handles. Michael's wood skills and choices are fantastic. Leather crossdraw riveted sheath from maker. Awesome balance and quickness for a knife this length. You will not find ANY Rader at this price, much less a damascus one! Price is $465. Drop to $450....$430...$420...$410...$400...$365...$350...SOLD
Mace Vitale (ABS Journeyman Smith) Fighter. This one hurts to have to sell! 6 3/4" blade, 11 1/4 OAL, forged from a 5/8" bar of W-2. Hand rubbed 1500 grit finish, and clay coated heat treat with a really nice hamon. Forgot to add this is mint, reflections on the front of the blade in the pic is lighting caused, and not scratches. Handle is epoxy soaked cord with a red perch underlay, and a really well done sheath from maker. Awesome slim fighter. Price is $375. Drop to $360....$345...$335....$325...$300...Withdrawn, as I can't bring myself to sell it.
James Piorek (JSP) Custom Kwaiken: 5.5" 1/4" A2 blade, 9.5 OAL. This is a handmade from James, and is serial number: 19621. Finer finish then usual from James, and there are a few small, light scratches from the kydex. Double ground blade to a zero edge. Black pigskin covered kydex sheath, with a bead blasted titanium Cord Jam on the static cord. Black wrap over black cord handle. A deal at $450 since he retired from knifemaking. Drop to $440...$430...$410...GONE
David Anders (ABS Mastersmith) integral hunter: 3.5" cutting edge length, 7.5" OAL. Blade thickness is 1/4" with a slight taper towards point and butt of knife. Bolster and blade flats left as forged, with "Anders" marked on the spine. Gorgeous stag scales. There's also a small forefinger "pad" forged in the transition area between the bolster and ricasso. Mint, and a fantastic integral with a ton of character. No sheath, but will include a padded case. Price is $300. Drop to $290...$275...265...$250...$240...$200...$180...$175...SOLD
Phill Hartsfield Stealth: A rare one from Phill. 3.5" cutting edge length, 7" OAL from 3/16" A2, double ground and not chisel ground. Peaked spine from the blade going into the handle, and a faceted tip that you can't see in the oh so great photo. Handle has wide grooves from behind the ricasso to the turk's head knot at the rear of the handle, and has the PH chop on both sides of the blade. Two sheaths with this one, one a black leather with a spring clip on the back that covers the knife to the turk's head, and the other an ostrich skin sheath with an attached cord for neck or belt carry. Price is $550 for this rarity. I've seen a couple of other Stealths, but both were tanto tip and newer. Drop to $540...$530...$520...SOLD.
And now for the specifics. No trades please, paypal preferred. Shipping is a deal at $5 USPS Priority but international shipping will be a little extra depending on destination and shipping type. Prices are firm. Also feel free to ask questions, and I can supply other photos that hopefully won't be as crappy as the ones posted. My camera is cantankerous and works in mysterious ways, as does my photography skills.
I'll try to update the pics later camera willing.
Take care,
John Johnson
