So these didn't sell so I am relisting with price drops. I have too many unused knives and hope these bring someone joy. I reserve the right to sell to whoever I choose but generally operate on a first come, first serve basis. First class shipping in the CONUS included and will only ship to the CONUS. Payment through paypal F&F only. If you can't send a PM, you can post your email in the thread then delete it once I get in touch with you. I am not trying to turn a profit on these (just a hobby for me) and think these are priced fair. If you disagree, make me an offer.

First up is a Charlie Bell Wharncliffe Trapper with blue G-carta covers. I took about a dozen pictures to try to do the G-carta justice and still don't think I got it. It is stamped D2 blade steel. Closed length on the Bell is 3.5". I am not the first owner and it came to me as a user. I carried it a bit and opened a few boxes with it. The fit and finish is perfect but there are slight signs of use. I didn't sharpen it and if the previous owner did they did a great job. Strong pull on this, maybe an 8 with an alligator snap. It does have a half stop. Really a great piece for someone who wants an entry level custom or who actually wants to carry and use a custom. Won't be my last Charlie Bell. $275 >$225

Next is a GEC 86 (861121) in rust orange bone. This one is unused, unsharpened, uncarried, LNIT. I bought this and the micarta version at the same time thinking one of these would be my EDC. The micarta version won out and I carry it everyday. This is the double acorn in 440C stainless. Upgrade over the 1095 in my opinion. If you are a barlow person, this is the perfect GEC. The 440C is super easy to sharpen and touches up perfectly with a gentle strop. It holds an edge well with EDC use. The bone on this one is gorgeous without cracks or chips. I did oil this before putting it away in the tube and has been there with desiccant and pin since I bought it. SOLD

Lastly, I have a brand new GEC 81 (818222) in snakewood. I nabbed this in the drop last week from Traditional Pocket Knives. It is absolutly gorgeous and as much as I wanted to love it, I just don't love 2 blade knives. I am trying to limit the safe queens so going to pass this one on. I opened it the night it came to admire it and again today for pictures. Other than that it has been in the tube as it came. I will send it to you as it came to me with Traditional Pocket Knife holiday stickers and all. Asking under what I paid for it. what I paid for it. $185> $175
