I have very mixed feelings about letting this go. This sword was made for me to cut my wedding cake back in 2008. That marriage didn't last, but this sword did! It's a bit sad for me to keep around, though. I was planning on giving it to my son when he gets married, but I'm not really sure he'd want it given his mother and I divorced. In other bad luck, this sword was made back when Tinker was having some serious back problems. What was going to be a six-month wait turned into two years, and he broke a blade making it, so this is actually the second blade for this sword.
Dimensions: Approximately 38.5" OAL, 33" blade (sharpened 20" on the edge and 11" on the back edge), 5.5" handle from the guard to the pommel nut.
Materials: 5160 blade, I presume mild steel fittings, and black leather handle.
Sheath: Black leather by maker.
Condition: New old stock. The sword has been stored in its case for more than a decade. There are a couple faint spots on it that can be Flitzed out. Aside from the wedding cake, it has cut nothing.
Price:$1,050 SOLD
Shipping Note: This will ship in a Hoppe's rifle case. It may take me a bit to figure out how to ship it safely. I can't warranty that the case will arrive undamaged, it is not an Otterbox or anything like that. My current plan is to heavily pad and take the sword inside the rifle case with bubble wrap and packing tape, then wrap the whole case in bubble wrap and basically manufacture a cardboard box around it.
I will have a thread up for midtech fixed blades by Vehement and Joe Louie Knives as well as some Spyderco folders in the Production Fixed Blades and Production Folding Knives sections, respectively. Multiple purchases will combine shipping, and I may be willing to negotiate price.
Payment preferred by Paypal G&S. Shipping is by USPS Priority Mail flat-rate boxes, well taped and padded, with insurance to sale price and default signature on delivery. International sales shipping may vary. International buyers accept all shipping and customs risks, and I will not lie on the customs declaration description or value.
I can no longer ship quite as fast as I could when I was in the office, as the post office is now a fair bit away from my home office, but I will ship as soon as possible and within two business days of purchase. I request confirmation of receipt and satisfaction with the purchase and will provide feedback.
