I’ve gone round and round and it makes me ill to part with these, but can't justify a bunch of them sitting when I have other obligations.
I’m parting with two of the YCS's shown here; they are from the second build cycle in 2004-2005, which were offered in a variety of handle materials:
(Adding Photobucket link with 21 better pictures):
http://s380.beta.photobucket.com/us... Sales/Yvsa Cherokee Specials - November 2012
The first knife is 18.5" and 32 oz. by Kumar, with rare Osage Orange chiruwa handle with inlay; comes with a black buffalo-hide leather scabbard and 2 large matching wood companion YCS Kardas and awl. (Note that this scabbard did not come with a frog).
The second knife SOLD is 18" and 38 oz. by Kumar, with Red/Purple Chandan chiruwa handle with inlay; comes with a black buffalo-hide leather scabbard and 2 large matching wood companion knives and awl.
Both knives are new, unused, uncarried and unsharpened. I bought the Osage Orange knife from an HI forum moderator who may have tested it as we all did back then, I don’t know, but he took great care of it and it looks as new to me.
The pictures speak for themselves, and these incredible HI's are long out of production.
Asking $295 each + $15 Priority Mail Shipping & Insurance, or $560 + $20 Priority Mail S&I for the pair. (If I emailed you privately as a heads up to a previous customer I will honor that price instead.)
Prefer not to ship OCONUS, but will do so to people I’ve dealt with before at their ship cost.
Prefer PayPal, and I cover the fees. Will ship to PP confirmed addresses only.
If interested please PM me here or write to n-l-morris@sbcglobal.net, which is also my PP address.
Thanks for looking.
