Here are a couple of handmade fixed blades for sale. Downsizing collection sale.
Kurt Meerdink hunter/edc, s.d. fixed blade. Just about a perfect edc size if you ask me. Blue g10, hammered nickel silver overlays, and a tool steel blade, and a superbly made carbon fiber looking kydex sheath. The sheath does not scratch the blade at all. 8.75" total length, about 4" of blade. SUPERBLY MADE fixed blade. To bad Meerdink isn't making blades anymore cause his stuff is put together. .125" spine with a slight distal taper to the point. $175 plus shipping of $10. Look around this is pretty low for a Meerdink. If it don't sell at this price I am keeping it and using it. Will be up for a couple of days here.
Next up is a larger Barner made knife. I believe it is 01 steel, forged, with a big fat stag handle I think of mule deer or moose. I can't be positive which. 6.125" blade, convexed but thin at the edge, trailing point, with a 5" handle of antler that has been smoothed out through use. Yep used this a lot, heavy brass butt cap and guard and I think the sheath is maker made also. It is a heavy in the hand hunter/camp knife that were popular in the 70's. Fun to carry and I have done that with this knife for sure. Never abused, and beauty marks from use but never abused. $150 plus $10 shipping.
Last is a pretty rare, as in I haven't seen another like it out there, Mike Mann Idaho Knife Works minty hunter made in 95. Tool steel(01or 1095 I just can't remember which), forged, distal taper to the blade, mule deer antler that is very ergonomic. Maker made vegetable tanned leather sheath. Exquisite craftsmanship to say the least. Never used by me for much of anything really. This knife really started me into collecting vs. using which is kind of bad in a way! 3/16" at the guard. Very graceful taper to the point and nary a scratch on her. Razor sharp too. Very similar if you ask me to the Cliff knife he makes but this is more stout at the spine I think. 4.5" blade and slightly longer handle and butt cap. $200 plus shipping of $10. The knife is as new. I windexed the blade and you can plainly see the original grind pattern if held at the correct angle to the light. No scratches.
Like I said I take pp and m.o.'s. I ship fast and knives are as stated. I am not a professional photographer(obviously) but the pics represent the products pretty well. I am getting more specific in my collection and using, matter of fact more users and less collectors! thanks and keepem sharp
