Time to clear out some long held knives out of the collection. This "collection downsizing" is becoming painful.
Prices include shipping via USPS Priority in CONUS, international shipping can be arranged as well. Prices are fairly solid, but please no lowball offers. All of them are being offered at a steep discount and/or completely unobtainable from the maker today.
If you need other photos, or have any questions, feel free to ask me at: Thank you for looking, and have a great new year for 2024.

Tai Goo Socket Handle Cleaver: 7' blade and a 4.25" socket handle forged from Tai's choice in carbon steel. Spine comes in at about 1/8".

If it has been used, it's been used lightly. No sheath or hikot with this one. Price is
