I have some production and custom knives available for trade. Please see my want list below and send your offers to me at: riverowl@msn.com Thanks for looking!
-Spyderco Delica ZDP-189 model C11PBLE:
plain edge ZDP 189 blade, blue Zytel scales, 4 position black pocket clip. NIB.
-Emerson Waved CQC-8:
Plain edge and Silver finished 154CM blade with Wave, Knife is numbered #151. Grippy black G-10 scales, Considered by many to be one of the best designs produced by Emerson. NIB with papers.
-Buck Mini Strider Tanto model B881:
Bead Blasted BG-42 blade #309/500, Very grippy G-10 scales. Dual thumbstuds were added but I will include the single thumbstud. This knife is NIB with papers but there is a shiny area in the bead blast on the front side of the blade about 1/4" just under the handle. It is more visible while opening the knife but you can still see the very edge of it when the knife is fully open. I was going to send the knife in to Buck and have them fix this but never got around to it.
-Boker 1999 Walter Brend Damascus:
1999 Annual Damascus presentation piece designed by Walter Brend. It features a 3 3/4" hand-forged 300 layer Damascus steel blade by Manfred Sachse. Limited to 999 pieces worldwide. Polished stainless steel bolsters and liners. Beautiful Dark Wood scales. Blade is marked "Boker Damast 1999" and "300 Lagen Germany" and the liner lock is stamped 081. New in a walnut presentation box with plastic sleeve and Certificate/Warranty. I'll include a Good quality Cordura belt sheath for Vertical/Horizontal carry.
-Cold Steel Master Tanto:
This knife is the first generation of tanto made with stainless steel fittings. It is serial numbered 0471 and was puchased new by me in 1991 from The Cutlery Shoppe. It comes with the original kydex sheath but the sheath is missing the belt loop as it was attached with leather and finally wore out. It can be easily drilled for a Tek-Lok. I have had this knife stored in a safe for a long time and I can recall only carrying it a few times. Both the knife and sheath are in excellent to almost new condition.
-Cold Steel Kiridashi:
Small Japanese Kiridashi from 1993-94. Comes with oak handle and black plastic quick-release sheath. Like new, no box.
-Bud Nealy Presentation Grade Clad Damascus Aikuchi II:
3 1/2" Darryl Meier Clad damascus blade of 52100 ball bearing steel between 80 layers of high/low carbon damascus. Unique Green/Black G-10 handle scales with handle bolts that were used on only a few other knives by Bud when this one was made. It also has 416 stainless dovetail bolsters and a Tapered tang. This knife has the serial number 3650 on it and comes complete with the 9 position MCS carry sheath (wide and narrow flaps, 3 way belt loop, nylon webbed belt loop and black ball chain). I have had this knife in my collection since 1998/'99 and I haven't used or carried the knife. The front bolster has 2 small scratches on it that I think came from something in the sheath and could be easily buffed out, other than that the knife is in excellent conditiion.
-Stamascus knife works Custom Modified Model 1 Fighter:
Made by Ed Vanhoy and based on the model 1 knife with Stainless Random pattern Damascus blade, Stainless 416 Bolsters and Desert Ironwood scales with 6 stainless pins. Blade length is 4 1/2" with an overall length of 9 1/4". Blade stock is 5/32" which makes it light and very quick in the hand. Custom special order Fighter modifications include: Double Guard, Recurve style blade, Sharpened top false edge, Slim down handle and Tapered tang. This knife also comes with 2 sheaths, IWB Kydex with loop and regular Brown Leather pouch style. This one has been in my collection for a while and hasn't been used or carried. There are some minor scratches on the front bolster but other than that the knife is great. Truly a beautiful piece and a work of art.
