Guys, lend a guy a hand making it to Blade Show. Dylan and I have been hit hard by the Blade Show curse, and if something has had the option of going wrong, it has. We've lost our bandsaw, handle materials have been hard to get, I got sick. The list goes on and on. I've got over 30 knives in glue this AM and no time to make a batch to support the household. So I'm selling off some of my collection to get us through.

Some of these are Fiddlebacks, my personal ones and used. No functional problems what so ever, but some scratches, and a couple of beer opening gouges in the handle scales. This first one is a one of a kind I made myself, and haven't ever published the model before! $180 shipped with a Fiddleback made blade sleeve. I hate selling this knife. Its my favorite I've ever made myself. Pretty spalted 01 steel convex sabergrind. Its a sweet tool.

The next one is a KE Bushie. Again, used to split off kindling all winter. $150 shipped without sheath. $175 with sheath. (JRE) Base price for this knife is $210 new. This is a great deal to get a functional tool as is for a great price. If I clean it up and re-grind it (no time to do this) its going for base price $$$.

Becker Knife. Coating remved, and micarta grips added. Early Fiddleback sheath. Knife seats in, but sheath is a smidge loose. Rides deep, so probably never an issue. (I carried it a while without incident. $175 shipped.

K. Deal. KE Bushy gone. Please paypal to: fiddlebackpayments at att dot net

THANKS!!!
 
OK Andy, $150 sent as a gift, no fees for you. I think you know my address but I'll send a PM just in case. No sheath needed on this one. I hope that helps get you guys part way to Atlanta. Oh, and I still have seconds on the personal knife... and we can talk about the Bushboot when you have time...
Good luck,
Ray

heh :) i'll bring my trade blanket :) snerk.

i expect this is going to be an expensive trip. the least of which is a sharpen system.

but i'm driving in, so none of that TSA nonsense

As am I (now that I've been released from duty so I can attend).

Just noticed this older Thread. Hoping Andy has more than sufficient funds to cover his Blade-related needs!! If not, ready to do advanced purchasing to help out.
