I've posted these with drops for a while now. So lets have fun. Hundreds of views each time, no hits. Sooooo....when I can get to my computer, I will be dropping prices until someone buys them. It will shifted off to EBay once it hits my absolute limit. Same thing with the black sheath--it's more hassle than its worth to drop further. I hate eBay.
I'll start with one drop now and then keep going when I get home tonight through tomorrow, until someone buys them. Once I hit the level I can't go below, off to the auction. So if you want them and have been on the fence, this is the time for action!
Thanks for looking. As always, please keep questions, comments, offers and jokes offline. First unequivocal "I'll take it," followed by a PM or email gets it. Must be 18 and legal for you to own in your state. I think it's already pretty reasonable, but clearly I'm not the folks looking but not buying So offers considered--I want to get these sold! No trades--raising cash to keep the missus from blowing too much of a gasket Thanks!
Up first is a lightly used Desert SOD--a hefty blade that punches above its weight. This feels soooo good in the hand and chops like a much larger blade. Made of legendary SR-77--one of the toughest steels on the planet, which sadly seems to have fallen out of use. I used it to chop a little wood--there's a little sap (I believe) on the tip and a little smoothing of the coating, but otherwise in amazing condition. Comes with a solid matching custom leather sheath--heavy duty leather and as much of a workhorse as the SOD itself--email or PM if you need pics. Asking $215, $205, NOW $200 Paypaled and shipped.
If leather isn't your thing, I have an extra two-snap black nylon sheath (originally offered with the Regulator) for an extra $15--$25 if you just want the sheath on its own (fits the SOD, Chopweiller, Regulator (in all it's many flavors), Basic 7 (I believe), and all sorts of other similarly-sized blades--my Chopweiller rides in one and loves it). No clue if it's used or if it just sat in my knife drawer--looks just like it did when it came from Ohio. Fits the SOD just nicely. I can get a pic if you need it, but it looks like every other black two-snap sheath that the Yard sold
Next is my last Swamp Warden with Ben Piatt custom orange G10 scales and a custom-made sheath he did for it with a drop-loop kydex belt loop (held on with white nylon screws/nuts). You really don't see many of these around. Ben did a limited run of these scales, which he REALLY knocked out of the park! Not sure if it was too much of a hassle for him to continue doing them (he had batted around the idea of scales for the 'Vore), but he did an amazing job with these scales. I had two sets on two Wardens and had to sell one off for med bills or something like that a long while back. While I carried this a few times and reprofiled the edge on my Worksharp, I carry my cord-wrapped one more, and since I can use the money more than the blade, this cherished piece of Swamp Rat history is off to the chopping block. It is convexed and will take a wicked sharp edge--happy to touch it up before sending if you want, just ask; also some light flattening of the black crinkle coat near the edge. $165, $157, NOW $153 PayPaled and shipped.
IF YOU WANT BOTH KNIVES AND THE EXTRA SHEATH, TAKE THE LOT FOR $370, 360 NOW $350 Paypaled and shipped.
Willing to ship overseas/cross-border, but buyer assumes all risk (payment via PayPal no fees only), picks up any additional shipping costs, and accepts that I won't lie about what's in the box (knife, cutlery, camping gear etc work). Please contact me with questions.
