All prices shown in this post include PayPal fees and shipping to a US address. I will ship outside of US or accept non-PayPal payment only in special circumstances (e.g. I have done business with you before). I will favor the first person who posts an unconditional "I'll take it" but reserve the right to sell to whomever I choose. Please DM me with any questions.
These are some very special knives I have on offer here, ladies and gentleman. I have a standing promise to myself to let go of anything I don't use in a year, so here we are. I am open to reasonable offers and trade offers but am in no hurry to see these go.

This first beauty is one of the only knives I've ever bought that I found too precious to use and I feel that dishonors the spirit of its legendary maker, the late, great Tony Bose. I purchased this example on BF several years ago and assume I am at least the third or fourth owner. The knife shows no signs of use and I used it for nothing more than opening an handful of envelopes. However, the blade is somewhat dull near the tip, presumably from being taken in and out of the Parsons sheath many times. There are no other flaws that I can detect. Of course the grind is superb and the lines are perfect. Tony ground the blade by hand as part of a small batch for the National Knife Collectors Association and the Ebony wood handle was added by a third party. I believe our very own Vince (VCM3) here on BF.

I've used this one for a bit of bushcrafting and kitchen chores but only ever touched it up on a Sharpmaker, never took it to stones. I've let the patina build up and had to clean it with barkeeper's friend a few times. The handle is in perfect shape and just as stunning as the day I got it. I use camellia oil to protect the handle and blade. I also have a custom sheath for it from RLO leather that is included. One of the stitches on the sheath is frayed, this happened right away and has not gotten any worse over time.
