Post "I'll take it" here on the thread for anything you want, in addition to PMing or emailing me through the forum.
If you want more than one, I'll deduct $15 per knife added given my savings in shipping.
Prices include shipping and insurance to anywhere in the US. Payment by paypal (I'll eat the fees) or USPS money order. Additional shipping charges for International, and (of course) only limited shipping insurance available. I WILL NOT lie on a customs form--if you can't legally have something, don't buy it.
If you do not get an immediate response from me, do not panic! Work intrudes, and I take care of things in the evenings when I get home.
Please carefully inspect knives upon receiving them. I try to be meticulous about finding flaws and making them known, but if I miss something, let me know immediately, and we can talk about either an adjustment to the price if you still want it, or a complete refund in addition to me covering the return shipping. My reputation is important to me, and I'll never try to slip anything by you.
Here we go!
Farid Chopper--An absolute beast. Double grind from 13mm D3 stock. 10" blade, just under 15" long with the bevel thickened near the tip to shift the weight forward. Cork handle with leather scabbard (no belt loop). Tiny amount of scale texture left right at the front of the blade near the spine, can be seen in the third and fourth pictures. Never been used or sharpened, minor marks in the sheath were mostly there when I opened the box, one or two may have been from storage. $450 now $400
Fiddleback Forge Bowlegged Chopper--0.25" 5160 steel, convex grind with forge marks left on. One or two pinprick inclusions in the finished bevels, but nothing to worry about. 15.75" overall, natural micarta handles. No sheath, but I'll ship in a zipper case. Never used, or sharpened, however the steel on the tang had hints of fingerprint stains, so I evened it out dark with ferric acid--you can see in the last photo. Andy doesn't build many bigguns! SOLD
Koster Survivor with natural micarta--0.25" A2 steel, brand new. Only the slightest kydex marks from the truly excellent Okuden sheath (I've tried all the kydex benders, NOBODY is better than Brian). SOLD
Koster Bushmaster with natural micarta--O1 steel. No sheath. Unused and unsharpened but a few discolored spots, they're all in the same area but I've shot from several angles--honestly don't know how it happened as it was stored in oil but purely cosmetic though it is, a discount is in order. It'd make an AWFULLY nice pair with the matching Koster above it.
SOLD
