There is one on fleabay right now that's up to $420. :eek: I will never understand people and auctions. A few years ago I posted a Surefire light starting at $50. I got a few offers to end the auction early for $60. I never end an auction early and got $305 for it.

Yeah I saw that sitting there and thought "that's cool, I should take a picture and put that on Instagram." In retrospect I think that was supposed to be a secret...

It's a project Mark is working on. I milled a Utility Fighter handle on it and he's hand grinding them. They're thicker and longer than a UF and he's doing some dope ass hand ground hollow grinds with those sick twists he does. It'll get a grind on the spine after heat treat. I figured we'd do a fun Friday sale with them or something. He'll probably bring one to blade show I guess?

I just put a few in for heat treat in a batch of Medium Choppers.

Yes, was going to guess maybe one of the chopper family, then I saw the UF style handle and was clueless. Looking forward to seeing it come along. Mike

Definitely going to try for one on a Fun Friday, but dibs on the Blade show one just in case;) I was already planning on making a beeline for your table first thing Friday morning:)

As you can see below, you happen to be hanging out with a bunch of junkie addict enablers. :p

If we have a motto, it would be either, "Just one more...", or maybe, "...and that one, and that one, oh, and a couple of those too...".

Our motto for fellow junkies appears to be, "Come on... you know you wanna...", or possibly, "Do eeeeeeet..." :D

P.S.
Iron will? When you receive your first CPK, you'll discover that CPK's D3V heat treat makes the steel much stronger and tougher than iron. Have you seen the YouTube videos of CPKs cutting right through those iron nails? :p

EDIT: Maybe a 7 inch Blade?

FK2 on fleabay update. It sold for $487. :eek: I suspect that it was a "I don't want the other guy to have it" bidding war. A reasonable person might do a little research before bidding on something like that. Maybe not.

I'll take 2.

Holy smokes. I searched "Carothers" on completed items and was blown away by some of the numbers.

I bet that you didn't know that your knives were so valuable. Don't let is go to your head. :D eBay can bring out the stupid in people, both sellers and buyers.

Actually, any auction can do that. I went to a Santa Barbara county vehicle auction once just to watch. People were bidding ridiculous amounts for beat up rusty old pickups that barely ran. (Some didn't) Even the auctioneer told them to cool it.

Want to see ridiculous prices for guns? Go to the CMP auction site.
