Gentlemen:

Since my move to Maine I've come to the conclusion that I need a gun safe - my grand children live nearby so it's the right thing to do. I dropped $450 for it so that's what I'm going to let this Bastion Dagger go for - typically they're $600 and the price doesn't get any better than this. :) For your consideration is this Bastion Dagger in D-2 with horse stall mat scales. I expect this knife to be featured in November's Knives Illustrated Magazine. Typically this dagger is sold exclusively through Robertson's Custom Cutlery - this is an extra. The dagger is designed for hard use and combat: the convex ground tip prevents the breakage typical of daggers; the rubber scales enhance grip in wet conditions; the recessed lanyard tubes are flared beneath the surface of the handle to eliminate hot spots and can be used for lashing the dagger to a pole; the skull crusher provides balance and well, you know. :D This is a handful at 12" OAL and 1/4" stock. I hope you like it! This dagger is also posted on my website. The first "I'll take it," PM, or email gets it. $450 delivered CONUS. Paypal please to tksteingass@frontier.com. Maker's lifetime common sense warranty and free sharpening. Thanks for viewing my work and your comments are welcome.

V/R,

TK

Thank god this sold. It is not in the budget at all but I kept trying to figure out to make it work. A beautiful piece and a phenominal deal.
 
Little scutters! I'm bet they are dancing. They're going to expect "Blue Buffalo" now instead of Purina
 
Yep, Blue Buffalo it is - the Purina has dyes in it that they build up an allergy to - they begin puking and production suffers. :D

Maybe next time but no more deals like this one - I sold four at $600 a pop already!

A pawnbroker friend gave me a lesson in value years ago. "Nothing is worth more than you can get when you have to sell it". I bought a microscope from him for $450 that retailed for over $1500 in 1978. Kid had it didn't get in medical school. Sometimes reliable cash flow is more important than "value".
