Had an emergency dentist visit yesterday, and with the recent acquisition of the exact knives for which I've been looking, even though I love these, they aren't getting, carried so they should be yours and not mine.
I take Venmo and Paypal. Prices include USPS Priority shipping to CONUS and PayPal fees if you want to pay Goods. I have 125+ positive feedbacks.
1) Great Eastern Cutlery 735212EC American Walnut Burl (1 of only 25) - #73 Trapper, Drop Point and Spey blades. I bought this knife as-new, and while it has a handling mark here and there, it is magnificent. I did sharpen the blades because they had pretty much no cutting bevel, and I intended to carry this knife when I got it. It push-cuts receipt paper now
Blade etch still in tact, singing walk and talk. Price is $150 (what I paid), and I won't be disappointed if no one picks it up, but I figured I'd offer it to someone who might really want it.
2) Stuart Davenport EDC in CruForge V steel wearing Purple Heart - this knife is a MONSTER CUTTER. Stuart should be a master bladesmith, if he isn't. His heat treat is exceptional, 63HRC but not fragile. I carried this for a couple weeks, used it to process about 50 lbs of apples for apple sauce and some various other EDC jobs. No bushcrafting, but I did want to see how tough it was at 63, so I did a little batoning and it ate the wood up. Stuart ground this to a near-zero edge, and then sharpened to 15 degrees per side. I have a close up shot of the cutting edge to show you just how wonderfully it is ground. After that 50lbs of apples, this thing was still cutting through food like a razor. I touched it up on ceramics just to bring it back to shaving. It whispers through receipt paper. Has some slight patina, tried to clean it up the best I could, but the way this steel takes patina is pretty cool. Different from 1095. Anyway, you get to make your own now. I paid $115 for this knife with no sheath, and am selling it for $105, but aside from the little patina, it might as well be new.
