Knife is now SOLD.
thanks,
G2




I have a close friend that needs to sell his Shiva Ki, he bought it new a while
back, never used it. And his knife tastes moved to more folder styles instead.
He doesn't own a computer and asked if I could help out, so he's sending
the knife to me and I'll photograph it and post images later on Wednesday
night when I reach home, IF the storm coming towards FL don't ground the
Tampa airport!

Price shipped is $2,400

Sorry no paypal, money orders only please and no trades on this.

Arrived home tonight, here are some quick images and spec's on this knife;

The balance point is just behind the guard

Overall length is 13 1/2"

Blade is 7 5/8" long and 1/4" thick

the clip is sharpened, handle is scales of horn with
added pieces of steel for a skull crusher at the end

leather sheath seems solid enough as well.
overall it sure feels the part of a fighter.

Here is a shot with a small Sebenza in the foreground for comparison

Thanks for checking it out,

None taken, there are lots of things that cost more, cost less, it's in the
value of what the maker determines and in this case for this knife, that's
what it is.

There are some that swear by his knives and others that do not see
it in the same light, but a forsale thread is not the place for either of those
discussions, as the Mods will tell you.

Gary, I'd never seen a pic with a human hand in it for comparison - SO much more useful than the small Seb, actually ;)

Can I impose upon you for a pull-away shot of the knife in a hammer grip so that we can see the knife and the hand? This is the first inkling I've had about how this may fit in the hand.

also, is that finger-groove choil chamfered or squared-off? How about the edges of the guard?
 
Hi Parker, I used the Sebbie as most know the size of those and most haven't
had the opportunity to shake my hand ;)
but being the good guy, I took this shot, maybe a bit shaky as it's ambient light
and I just got home from a long day of travel,

The edges are chamfered off in the finger groove area, while the guard is not done as much;

I received an offer, but it was way below the reduced asking price
I talked with the fellow that owns her and he said the lowest
he would be able to go is $1,800 shipped in the USA as he bought it
for the full price from Shiva Ki, $2,400 so he's taking a good size loss already.

So that's the bottom line on this one guys and gals,

Interesting knife, is it still available? I'm shaking the piggy bank to see whats in it.

Interesting is the proper word and yes, she is still available.
Also included is a padded zippered pouch with the knife and sheath.
Thanks, let me know how the shaking goes ;)

Question was asked regarding the Skull crusher end of the knife
it has two pieces of steel attached, I can not see any pins, it may
be soldered into place, the very end is quite sharp edged, here are
a couple of pictures taken this morning;
