Terms- The best way to contact me is by Private Message (PM) or Email through the forum. Messages sent that way will go directly to my email inbox. You are welcome to contact me directly- robcelani at hotmail dot com. In the past some direct emails have gone in my junk folder which delays a response from me.
Trades- My main trade interests at the moment are older (80's-90's or earlier) Italian Switchblade Keychain Knives in 2.75 and 4 inch size. The older models have 4 pins on the button side including a thru pin in the spine. Also, I am looking for the AGA Campolin Ring pull knives in 18 inch and 15 inch size. As well I am always interested in other quality or unique switchblades, production and custom. For Fixed blades I am always looking for Microtech Currahee knives. I also have recently gotten into Busse and Kin. I really dig the Bushwhacker Mistress (BWM) model from Busse. I also like the Mini Mojo and Uncle Mojo models from Swamprat and Scrapyard. I am definitely willing to consider other Busse, Swamprat and Scrapyard knives as well. I will not respond to other trade offers.
**Please Note, I am not going to waist your time or mine responding to offers outside of what I am looking for.**
Al Mar Belt Buckle Knife Customized by Richard Chischilly
One note, I've spent quite a bit of time researching Al Mar knives and Richard Chischilly. The information on this particular model and Mr. Chischilly is sparse but I believe what I've found is accurate. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
- Early 1980's Seki Japan production knife with a small production run and amazing customization work!
- Knife is New in Box, never carried or used. Some minor scuffs and scratches from handling.
- Knife besides inlays is stainless steel, buckle is zytel, customization includes turquoise and silver inlays.
- Richard Chischilly did quality work. All the other pieces I found with his customization were done on Buck knives. His craftsmanship is comparable to more well know artisans such as Yellowhorse knives. The following info was provided to me by a collector of Mr. Chischilly's work (so far I have only confirmed it with that one source). Mr. Chischilly is a Navajo artisan and was a platoon leader with the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam.
