For sale (no trades please) are the following knives. Please note that these will only be available for a few days, after which I will likely sell them elsewhere if they do not go here. Also, all sales are final as I am trying very hard to downsize what I’ve got to just “users”.

First up is a Rick Marchand (Wildertools) S Curve Camp knife. Unused by me and as received from this thread:https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/wildertools-s-curve-camp-knife.1508349/

Here are a few pics of the knife that I took today, but the previous seller’s threat is extremely thorough, so there is not much use in me re-inventing the wheel.

$475 shipped CONUS.

Next is a Pete Crowl JS hunter with incredible stag handles and 1080 carbon steel. New, unused, and uncarried, this is an award winning knife that has a hidden tang in a single, solid piece of exhibition grade stag perfection. BL of 4-5/8” and a handle length of 4-1/4”. 416 stainless steel guard and bronze spacer. It will come with the gorgeous pictured leather sheath, also made by Pete.

SOLD!!! $335 shipped CONUS. SOLD!!!

Next is a Mike Ruth JS hunter with 4 1/2" flat ground blade, nickel silver guard, sheephorn handle, 1084 steel, satin finish, full hidden mortisedtang construction. Custom made leather sheath by Kenny Rowe. Note that though this knife is new and unused, there is some slight pullback of the scales from the guard, no doubt because I live in the high desert.The scales very well might go back to filling that small gap once the knife was back in an environment with a little more humidity. I have seen this happen over the years on several knives. Because of that, I have done nothing to fill the gap. Of course, if the scales do not go back, the issue could be rectified with some super glue to fill the space. Or the new owner could send the knife back to Mike to have him rectify the handle issue. Due tothis issue with this knife, it is available at a steel of a price, very significantly less than what I have in it. There are no cracks or chips in the scales at all.

SOLD!!! $195 shipped CONUS. SOLD!!!

One and only price drop on the Marchand knife. Rick makes one hell of a great knife and this one is already proven since it is THE winning camp knife out of a field of serious contenders in a prior Bladeforums camp knife contest that Brian Andrews did and which is linked in the description from the prior seller. I am already taking a loss on this and you won't find one this size for this price anywhere. She is as sharp as any knife I've had and is ready to be put to work. Act soon or you may regret it later.
 
Wow... geeze... I may buy it back. This is one of the blades that helped put me on the map! That is my original hand carved maker's mark. I rarely use elk for handles, anymore. So cool to see this piece, again.

Free refurbishment and sharpening for the lifetime of... well... me, I guess. ha!

Don't make me ask my wife for play money for one of my own... I may not survive that conversation.

She is an awesome knife, Rick, and I am somewhat torn about selling her. I thought she might go quickly, but folks seem to be moving away from custom fixed blades for whatever reason. It has your blood and sweat in its history yet half of the mass produced stuff flies of the shelf for nearly my asking price. It's a strange world we live in.
 
The new buyer can contact me with any issues down the line. This particular piece is close to my heart.... that said, giver hell!
