Two knives up for sale which are pretty cool and rare.
First up is an old, beat up Richtig knife. You won’t see many Richtig knives come up for sale here, don’t let the rust and heavily sharpened blade deter you. This dude Richtig used to cut metal bolts and stuff with his knives to show off how good they were. He was in Ripleys Believe it or not. When your wife/girlfriend/mom/probation officer asks you how much you paid for this, start off with, “Believe it or not...”

Next up for sale is a James Lile Model No. 7 hunter. This is an early model from the 1970s. I picked this up in a trade on here and have just had it sitting in a case unused. Includes a very nice sheath. Blade is right around 4”, overall about 8 1/2”. Some tarnishing on the brass, darkening and spotting throughout, particularly on the exposed tang, which has a couple spots of minor pitting, or else they're just rough spots, see pics. Blade has “Hand made by James B. Lile” engraved on it. These early pieces were signed by his wife before he started using a stamp. D2 steel with walnut handles. The model 7 was Mr. Lile’s personal favorite.
