Both knives have been used/carried/sharpened. Both include tubes. Both have been polished and oiled to keep them shiny, although age and use might have made the blade/spring/liners a bit darker than one fresh out of the tube. Handles show scuffing like you'd expect from carry and use, but have no cracks or major gouges or scratches. All blades are solid with no wiggle, and all center perfectly when closed.
1. #71 Bull Nose "Red Neck" sodbuster. Etching is pretty much completely gone except for the shadow of where it once was. I reprofiled the knife by hand, and didn't do a 100% symmetrical job as the photos show, but the edge is straight, and it's damned sharp. SOLD!
(that's not rust on the edge on the last picture, just a bit of schmutz.)
2. #47 Hayn' Helper. Etching is mostly gone. Main blade has been reprofield on an Edge Pro and is damned sharp. The pen blade has been touched up with ceramics, but not reprofiled, so it's not as sharp as the main blade. Because the pen blade stuck out a tad I filed the kick down a bit, and also the kick of the sheepsfoot so it'd sit a bit lower (you can still pinch it open if you wish), and as a result the springs sit very slightly shallow of the liners when closed.
If you have questions or specific picture requests, let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate.
I'm looking to get $45 for each knife, plus $5.80 for shipping USPS Priority. Buy both, and I'll throw in the cost of shipping. PayPal only, no fees to buyer. I'll ship internationally, but any extra shipping costs and currency conversion fee (2.5% usually) will need to be covered by the buyer.
Not looking for trades at this time unless you happen to have a GEC Eureka Jack in ivory bone or ebony wood, or a single blade #48 in snakewood.
