Have a couple for sale. No trades, USPS shipping included in price, paypal preferred in which ever flavor you're comfortable with, and international shipping could be done on the Horton. On the Zu Bladeworx, it would depend on your country and border customs. Seems a lot of countries prefer swords not entering their borders!
Shipping would be extra internationally. She's a heavy and long beast that rarely comes up on the secondary market and would be an utterly amazing addition to a collection for the new year.
First off, an absolute grail from Zu Bladeworx. The Warchild Mk.2 was a one run special done about ten years ago and I am the original owner. Made from German Kruydor A-2 at 3/8" thickness. Sports a 15.5" blade and right at an 11" handle. Excellent condition, never cut with and has pretty much lived it's life sitting in a display on the mantle. There is one spot on the bronze Cerakote as seen in one of the pics, and does have inevitable kydex rubs where the covex tip grind meets the edge grind. While the sword is in excellent condition, the kydex does have some small gouges and scratches from storage. The worst of them have been pictured, and I've adjusted the price to reflect that. It's a rarity. The last one I've seen for sale was about two years ago from a seller in Europe and was priced at about $1900, and sold in minutes. Due to the sheath damage on this one, I'm pricing it at SOLD, all fees and shipping included. This one has been absolute grail for me since I received it, but between rent and upcoming tuition, sometimes you have to do what you don't wanna. If you're ever in your late 50's and decide to go back to college, my hard won wisdom on doing it, is think long and hard about student poverty when you should be looking at retirement. But, you only live once, and a degree in Emergency Management at this stage in life is a one shot deal.
Horton Fixed Blade. Unsure of the exact model name of this one. 8.5" OAL, 4.25" blade and a .277" blade thickness. Thick orange G-10 handles and a well fitting leather sheath. Unsure of the steel, but given the temper line and Jeremy's steels he uses I'd wager 1095, although it seems to be very resistant to rust and could be A-2. In either case, it's got Jeremy's ridiculously cool grinds and is in excellent shape with original edge and no signs of use by previous owner. Price is SOLD.
If you need any other info or pics, let me know And have a great New Years!
