Selling four favorites to fund another knife. No boxes/tubes/papers/etc., just the knives. All have been carried and lightly used, and still have factory edges. I've been told I "over-disclose" in my descriptions, and I'll continue that tradition here. 
Stainless GEC #74 Mustang in burnt orange jigged bone - $SOLD (was $90) - This is one of the nicest GECs I've handled. Excellent walk and talk, 4.5 pull, crisp etch, backspring flush closed/open and slightly sunk at half-stop, no liner/cover gaps, excellent jigging, centered. Usual handling marks on bolsters and shield.
KA-BAR Coppersmith Dog's Head Barlow made by Canal Street Cutlery - $SOLD (was $50) - The copper features are heavily patinaed -- and hard to photograph accurately! There are some colors in the patina, as well as thumb whorls. Fit and finish is very nice; talk is excellent, but pull is an 8, making walk a bit less so for me; backsprings both flush closed, main flush open, pen is sunk open; no liner/cover gaps; great jigging; pen is centered, main is not but doesn't rub.
Case stainless Trapper in amber jigged bone, with hand-tooled sheath - $40 - I went through several of these looking for the nicest one, and this is it. Jigging is stunning and nicely matched on both sides. Pull is a 4; nice walk with soft talk; backsprings a hair proud closed, clip is slightly proud open, spey is slightly sunk open; some light scratches on clip blade, hard to photograph; lovely walk and talk; no liner/cover gaps; bolsters have handling marks, and front bolsters are scuffed from the sheath. Includes hand-tooled Jim Smith sheath made for this model, perfect retention, lightly used, comfortable on belts up to 1.5" width.
Case stainless medium cigar Stockman in pocket worn red bone - $30 - Like the Trapper, I hunted long and hard for a nice one of these. Pull is a 3 on clip and sheepsfoot, 5 on spey; nice walk and talk; some light rub and scratches on sheepsfoot and spey; some gaps between liner and cover on pile side; usual handling marks on bolsters and backspring. My favorite thing about this Stockman variation is the nearly fully sunk joints, which are extremely comfortable in-hand.
PayPal only, "Goods and Services" only, continental US only. I'm covering USPS shipping and the PayPal fee. No trades. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
The first "I'll take it" in this thread followed by a PM gets dibs. (Questions, "I might be interested if," and the like aren't the same as claiming a knife.) If I haven't seen your PM within an hour, I'll assume you changed your mind and the knife will be available to others.

Thanks for looking!
