I just added a GEC 66 slim calf roper in a post below for $old, buy all 4 for $old
I have three knives I'd like to sell as a lot I (also open to trades). I'd like $old shipped and I will cover the paypal fees, or subtract $3 and send a gift payment. If you only want one knife let me know or pm an offer. I'll ship anywhere but please cover extra postage over $6 if you're outside the U.S.
First is a German Eye Moose in light brown jigged bone, very good condition, 3 and 3/8 inches closed, stainless clip and spey blades, from the 1970s I believe. Perfect smooth walk and talk, honestly the best I've felt in ten or so slipjoints I own. It has a plain federal shield and it's a "three eye" knife, apparently sought after by collectors. I bought this recently from a big collection in pristine condition. I put some scratches in the brass bolsters so I sanded them a little, planning to eventually polish them. I'll leave that to someone else unless this lot does not sell. Needs to be sharpened but barely used.
Next is a Queen Burke Stockman, carried, bought used but looked to have been carried only. I don't think it's been sharpened, very good condition, 3 and 3/8 inches closed,The handles are green winterbottom bone and the blades are Sandvik 12c27, it has a pinned federal shield. The blades aren't quite sharp but they're very thin and well ground and I'm guessing they'd sharpen up easily. There were 300 made. Nickel silver bolsters and liners. The bolsters on this one are sanded like the German Eye knife and I think they look pretty good, I'd leave them with this finish personally. Someone's listing a new one on the big auction sight for $185
They may be crazy but it's a nice knife.
Finally I have a Winchester wharncliffe swell center in dark jigged bone (basically black showing red around the edges.) This knife's very similar to a Northwoods Norfolk with a slightly shorter main blade. It had rust on it when I got it, I removed that with flitz and it also took off the Winchester logo. Unfortunately some rust came back in storage and I quickly polished it again but there are some little spots left over. The main blade has a small chip and it's dull, should be reprofiled. The little pen blade shows a lot of wear. I can't find the photos of this one but I included a picture of the knife as it came to me.
If you're interested please post here or contact me for paypal info. Thanks for looking.
I'll add pictures below.
