**Winners Picked, Scroll Down!!**
I've been a member here for over ten years and in that time I've learned a ton about my favorite passion. I've met some great folks and enjoyed a lot of conversations. I've been thinking about how I could say thanks and decided I'd try to move along a few items I'm not using. I don't have a lot of money so I can't give away some super nice knife like I'd like. But I hope someone can use and appreciate what I'm offering. Just a small way to say thanks back to the community!
The first item is a Becker BK-16. I bought this used here and the original owner had already stripped the coating. I forced a hot apple cider vinegar patina which gave it a nice, dark color. I like it. I also cleaned up the bevels on my Edge Pro and now they are refined and sharp! I added micarta scales and stainless hardware and found out it fits perfectly in a nice leather sheath I already had so it goes with the knife!
So what you'll get is the 16 with the original unused sheath, both sets of scales, the original box and packaging, the micarta scales, stainless hardware and the black leather Bark River sheath (made by Sharpshooter out of very thick, high quality leather. It's black, left-handed and has a firesteel loop. It's unused except I did treat it with Obenauf's. This is a high quality sheath, much nicer than the current ones IMO).
The next item is a SanRenMu knife which looks to be a clone or copy or whatever you want to call it of the Sebenza 21. Nothing special, just a neat little Chinese made frame lock. It's actually really well made. Phosphor bronze washers, perfect lockup, no blade play, centers closed. It comes in the box just like I got it.
The next one is a set of two sheaths which aren't getting any love. They are both made by Sharpshooter and originally for Bark River knives. One is the Gunny sheath. It's identical to the one above which was for the Bravo-1, firesteel loop, left-handed, black, etc. It's also been treated with Obenauf's and unused. The other one is an ambidextrous black leather sheath. It's called the Dakota Vermilion and sold by a popular online dealer.
The next one is a Victorinox ALOX Pioneer. It comes in the box and has been very lightly carried. I don't know if you'd even be able to tell. I have stropped it on leather but haven't actually cut anything.
**NEW ADDITION** Since there's so many people responding I decided to add in another one! A brand new, never used, only lightly stropped, Ontario RAT-1 in the box!!
**FINAL NEW ADDITION** Alright folks, last one. I've got a lightly used (but well cared for!) Case SodBuster Jr. (SS) I'll add to the mix!
CONUS shipping is on me. Anywhere else with an address, I can't be held responsible if your shady postal service steals it or whatever happens, happens. And you'll have to pay s&h!
So here's how this will work. I'll use the True Random Number Generator at random.org to pick 6 numbers. Whatever post number matches, wins, starting with the first item through to the last! Please only post one time per user and I'll pick the winners on Wednesday, the 18th at 9:30EST.
Good luck and Merry Christmas!
