Offered are two nice customs :
* T.K. Steingass takedown Kwaiken. One-off knife. Gorgeous hamon, and the wire wrap work is as good as any of the Maringer knives I have owned. Light and very fast in the hand, scalpel sharp. Please see maker's own description (below) for specs. Comes with chonky, precision takedown tool and magnetized leather-wrapped IWB sheath, both also crafted by Tim. $1750.
Tim's description of his takedown Kwaiken :
" I forged this San Mai billet at the New England School of Metalwork class taught by Ben Seward. The handle is wrapped with .021" stainless wire and all the fittings are 410 stainless - the spacers on each side of the handle are coined. The wooden sheath is wrapped with black vegetable tanned bridle leather and the stud is forged to a teardrop shape. Magnets are inlaid into the leather lined wooden sheath to hold the knife securely yet allow for one hand deployment. 10" OAL, 5 1/2" BL. Since it's the first kwaiken I've made, I decided to incorporate takedown construction. "
-----------------------------------------------
* S.R. Johnson Hunter, 3.5" blade hand polished to mirror finish, best stag, signed deep chisel game portraits by Master Engraver Damien Connolly. His is a fascinating story, exemplars of his varied work in miniatures and engraving on bespoke firearms can be found in museums worldwide. $1950 (Absolutely worth a quick read if you enjoy seeing the very best miniature firearms extant : https://craftsmanshipmuseum.com/artisan/damien-connolly.)
--------------------‐-----------------------------
The only trades I'd have interest in at present would be for a mint Busse Long Hawkeye dagger, a mint Busse BOSC-ID dagger, or a clean CPK Shiv, with cash going either way depending which knife/knives involved.
-----------------------------------------------
If you want a knife, please post an "I'll take it" here, and then follow up with a PM. Also, please, send any & all other questions or comments via PM only.
Prices include Priority delivery CONUS. Payment via Zelle, bank check, or USPS money orders.
Thanks for looking !
