First, the business stuff.

Pricing--The price includes fees and USPS Priority shipping w/ signature confirmation in the US.

Shipping--I will ship (included in the asking price) the purchase through USPS Priority mail, but I WILL REQUIRE SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION, and if you choose to pay with paypal, I WILL ONLY SHIP TO THE CONFIRMED PAYPAL ADDRESS FROM WHICH I RECEIVE THE FUNDS. I apologize, but I do not wish to deal with international sales at this point.

Please read the description clearly. All the blades have minor scuffs or scratches. I have done my best to describe the blade and photograph it, but if you would like additional photos please just say. ALL HAVE BEEN WIPED DOWN WITH A COATING OF MARINE TUF-CLOTH AND/OR SILICONE WD-40.

If you have any questions about dealing with me, please look at my feedback score, and please do not hesitate to ask questions or request more info.

If you are interested in the piece, please PM or email me. I will get back to you quickly with my paypal address. Having said that, I reserve the right to do business with whoever I please for whatever reasons I please.

Upon receipt of the item, I would appreciate if you could please let me know if you are happy with the purchase through email and feedback here on the forum.

Lastly, by agreeing to purchase, you are indicating you are at least 18 years of age and in compliance with all your local laws.

1. Bill Siegle Barong, multicolored (maroon / black?) G10, ~.25 5160.....asking $313 fees and shipping included

I purchased this blade second hand here on bladeforums a few years ago from someone who themselves was not the original owner. I have never used it and the person I bought it from claimed to have never used it. However, I was told the original owner did use it a bit, but that it still has it's original edge. And I can attest that was very sharp when I received it and is of course still very sharp. While hard to see as I could not get all the oil wiped off the blade, it does have some scratches and scuffs from the use by the original owner and from the kydex sheath I presume. The kydex is very nice though and holds the blade securely and does come with a tek-lok as seen. Any questions please ask.

The ruler is 18 inches long.














 
2. Breeden Potbelly, .25 01 steel, thick burlap orange micarta scales from Shadetree with thin black liners....$140...SOLD fees and shipping included.

Bryan is no longer making knives so this is a bit of a rare one. This is Bryan's take on the Kabar Potbelly, although much bigger. I purchased it direct from him a few years ago, but it has never been used. If you are familiar with Bryan's work the fit and finish is a working grade one. It's not bad, it's just not very refined either as you can hopefully see in the pics. But it was meant to be a user too. Blade has some scuffs and scratches...came that way from Bryan, and also from the kydex. Kydex is not fancy. Holds blade well, but if tipped up side down it can slide out. The handle is very thick and large...offers multiple grips. Edge looks to be a full convex. Very sharp.

3. Koyote Necker, maroon linen micarta, ~1/8 1084.....asking $80...SOLD, fees and shipping included

I purchased this blade straight from Christof. I carried it a lot and used it some when I first got it several years ago, but it's been a long time now. It has been sharpened once or twice. While scandivex, it has a very small microbevel I would say. Sheath was treated with Obenauf's LP and has some minor wear and tear..couple of nicks, but it a very nice little dangler / pouch type sheath. Blade has some scratches, but it's sharp. Not sure what else to say. It's a user, and I don't want anyone expecting something perfect, but it's in very good shape. If you need more pictures let me know

4. Jose Diaz Competition Chopper / Cane Toad Chopper, 52100 steel at about .325 thick and heat treated by Peters with horse stall mat over yellow tero-tuff liners on a tapered tang...asking $275....SOLD which is an absolute steel, fees and shipping included.

I purchased this directly from Jose, but have never used it. It comes with an edge that is thicker than what you would use in competition as I intended to use it in the woods, but never did. Blade is very nice, but has some scuffs (first picture the cloudiness on blade is from Tuf-cloth...last picture is more indicative of scuffs) on flats and is by no means perfect fit and finish. It was meant to be used. I just never did. Tang has a very nice taper and gives it a very powerful forward balance. Sheath is a very basic leather slip cover, nothing fancy at all...no belt loop even. This is the same heat treatment by Peters that Dan Keffeler used on his long time 52100 competition cutter...the one he won numerous competitions with. More pictures available on request.

Hi Tek77. I responded to your PM. I really do apologize for the late reply. I fell asleep early last night.
 
Siegle still available! It's a fantastic blade at a great price anywhere. Hard to get that much steel (and that much proven steel) at that price.
