Here's several for sale. Prices include shipping via USPS Priority with insurance, paypal only for now and international shipping can be worked out. No trades unless otherwise listed. I can do better pics if needed, just ran out of light today. Plus a new camera helps my sorry picture skills tremendously!
Starting from the top and going down:
Jake Hoback one of a kind competition cutter. Let's just start by saying this is from 1/2" 5160 stock. Yep, .500 thick at the spine. Flat ground to a wonderfully sharp edge, and a G-10 handle. It's 14.75" overall length and a 9" cutting edge. Finish is rough as from maker and has been blued by Jake as well. Never used, which is a shame. Kydex sheath. Price is
Burt Foster (MS) Integral Combat: 12" overall length and a 7" cutting edge length. Forged from 1/4" 52100 with a taper to the point and very lively in hand. Handle is KG Gunkote finished with a paracord wrap. Excellent condition. Sheath is one of Burt's excellent sheaths but is not the correct one for the knife, so the fit is loose. Mastersmith stamped. What more can you say about Burt's very excellent work? Price is SOLD
Rick Marchand Long Knife: Withdrawn
Phill Hartsfield Force 1: 11" overall length with a 6 and 3/8" blade length. 1/4" double ground A2 with a peaked spine for the length of the blade. Handle is padouk, but I could be terrible wrong. It's dense and hard but still in excellent condition with no splits in the grain. This one is from the early 80's at latest. I've had a couple of Force 1's, but this is by far the earliest. Knife is in excellent condition with the exception of a scuff that runs about a 1/4" up from the edge on the right hand side. I'll do a picture of it in better light in the a.m. to show it. Sheath wise, it has a Bob Dozier kydex and a one of a kind, small of the back sheath done by Phill. I've never seen a similar sheath, ever from Phill and construction wise is done as only Phill can. Leather over steel for construction with the paper type lining. Sheath does have storage wear. If this knife could talk I'm sure it could tell some very interesting stories. Price is
Finally is a Liontribe Design one of design. It's 7.25" overall, 4" from front of handle wrap and a 2 and 7/8" cutting edge length. It's 5/16" 5160 with a right hand convex chisel grind. Handle is epoxy coated paracord, foliage in color. Awesome working finish on the knife overall. Never used or carried, but there is a small spot of corrosion above the cutting edge. Sheath is heavy duty leather with a metal clip that can be adjusted for left or right hand carry. I have another Liontribe knife that I absolutely love and performs very well. Price is $120..$100 shipped...
Sheaths are pictured as the knives are, going from the top down. With the exception of the Liontribe, and it's on the right hand top side of the pic.
