This is part of a collection of custom knives that were given to me by my neighbor and friend who is a retired knife salesman. All of these came from his private collection and are in excellent condition, almost all having been bought new from the makers themselves. If there are any blemishes they are noted in the description for that knife.

The details on each knife are what I have been told by my friend or other collectors. I'm not a custom knife collector and have limited knowledge about these knives. If you have a question that I don't know the answer to, I will try to find it for you.

All knives are in my possession and ready to ship. I always pack items very carefully, so each knife will be carefully wrapped and protected.

I am happy to take additional pictures of any of the knives if you want to see additional details or a different view.

Prices are flexible, so feel free to make an offer. Payment by USPS money order or PayPal is accepted. Local pickup in the Vancouver, WA/Portland, OR area is available too, of course paying with cash is fine. Prices include USPS Flat Rate shipping within the continental USA and any PayPal fees if you use that for payment.

Thank you!
