*Not interested in trades--trying to thin the herd. :)

This is a user-custom sale. In most cases (descriptions specify) these actually haven't been used, but they are "working finish" knives and not exquisitely polished safe queens. I've only taken a couple shots per knife, and almost all of them have little cosmetic imperfections or are finished a little rough. NONE have any rust or issues that will affect their use.

Post "I'll take it" here on the thread for anything you want, in addition to PMing or emailing me through the forum.
If you want more than one, I'll deduct $10 per knife added.
Prices include shipping/insurance to anywhere in the US. Payment by paypal (I'll eat the fees) or USPS money order. Additional shipping charges for International, and (of course) only limited shipping insurance available. I WILL NOT lie on a customs form--if you can't legally have something, don't buy it.
Bladeforums is not reliable notifying me of replies or messages--if you don't hear from me immediately don't worry, if you were the first take something then it's yours.
Please carefully inspect knives upon receiving them. If I missed something, let me know immediately, and we can talk about either an adjustment to the price if you still want it, or a complete refund in addition to me covering the return shipping. My reputation is important to me, and I'll never try to slip anything by you.
Here we go!




Daniel Prentice--kind of a utility shank. I've never used or carried it but I was the second owner--no damage that I can see. Not sure of the steel, obviously carbon with its patina. Handles look like bocote to me. I HAVE moded the sheath--I added the eyelet, lanyard and lynch pin as a retention-aid. 7 3/4" OAL, 4 3/4" blade, 3/16" thick $100 Now $65



Mark Wohlwend WSK
--Another modified take on the WSK/Tracker pattern, much shorter than typical. 8670m steel, convex up front, scandi flat in back, blackened on flats, micarta handle scales. With kydex sheath, never used or carried. 9 3/8" OAL, 4 5/8" blade, .220" thick. $100 Now $65


Eric Knight Combat utiliy--52100 steel forged from 3/4" round bar, brass guard and camo/black phenolic frame-construction handle with paracord wound between the tube fasteners (cord is not epoxy impregnated so it is very soft to grip, and could also easily be removed). Belt finished convex blade has a forced patina from apple slice. Sheath is a mountain-man style pouch but done in thin kydex; it actually retains the knife very well and doesn't scratch it up. Blade has been stropped to remove wire edge. 8 1/2" OAL, 4 1/4" blade, .220" thick. $100 Now $65



Eric Knight Combat subhilt--52100 steel forged from 3/4" round bar, stainless guard and subhilt with brass spacer, all soldered together. Zebra-wood handle. Belt-finished convex blade has a forced patina from apple slice. Leather sheath. It has been stropped to remove wire edge. 12 1/2" OAL, 7 1/2" blade, .220" thick. $110 SOLD


JH Knives utility--I really can't remember the steel and can't find the sale thread. It's probably 1084 or 1095. Deep hollow grind (with a couple of small grinding wobbles). Forced patina, sheath has a couple of oil spots but it's never been used or carried. 8 3/8" OAL, 4 3/8" blade, 5/32" thick. Heavy molded leather sheath. $65 SOLD


Bryan Breeden WSK --O-1 steel black micarta handle. This was my design collaboration with Bryan, trying to turn the WSK/Tracker concept into something that actually works, and this vastly out-performs the original design by not having a hook in the middle of the chopping edge. Used it one afternoon on a fallen cedar tree, along with my Beck WSK for comparison--no damage to it, and stropped back to sharp. Patina is actually how it came from Bryan--kinda the look tool steel has when you sand but don't polish it. High convex in the back, low (heavier) convex in front. Spine is rounded up front (for draw-knife work) and square in the back for striking ferro rods. Drop-loop kydex sheath can either be worn free hanging or as an IWB just like any dangler. 13" OAL, 7 3/8" blade, 1/4" thick $125 SOLD


MCSWood Heavy duty utility--1095 steel, maple handle and welded-on (pre-heat treat) steel bolsters and pommel. 10" OAL, 5" blade, 1/4" thick. File and tool marks abound but this is the way he intentionally leaves them for a rustic look. Leather sheath. Brand new. $120 SOLD


Marani combat/utility--A2 steel, parkerized, black linen micarta handle scales. ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT Brian Wagner/Okuden IWB Kydex sheath (will also accept a tek-lok clip and I can find you one if you prefer). The sheath cost me $55 and as you can see, Brian's kydex sheaths don't scratch up knives. Carried a time or two backpacking but never used it for anything. 9" OAL, 4 1/4" blade, 1/4" thick. $110 SOLD


Eric Knight hunter--52100 steel. Not really sure if the handle is black micarta or ebony, I can't find the sale thread. Belt finished convex blade has a forced patina from apple slice. Leather sheath. Blade has been stropped to remove wire edge. 8 1/4" OAL, 4 1/4" blade, .220" thick $80 GONE

Okay, not dropping them again, and I have other stuff to list, so this one is closed. Thanks everybody. :)
 
Is there a drain hole in the mountain some kydex sheath?

Off topic so I apologize but, anyone know of Bryan Breeden still is in the business?
