Well, it finally happened - I got read the Riot Act over the number of knives in the house now that we have a baby daughter - and I will be selling off much of my collection in stages. These are all things I didn't think I'd be letting go.
All are in perfectly new condition, unless otherwise mentioned - if you're seeing marks on the blade, that's just protectant.
Prices are net to me (your choice of payment - doesn't have to be PP - but you cover any fees involved) and include shipping in the US (from DC). For knives bought and paid for this weekend, I'll try to get them sent by Monday so they should still have lots of time to arrive by Christmas.
