Prices reduced 8/15
I'm good at spending money on knives, bad at selling them because I never know what prices I should ask. I am going to list a pile of stuff here and try to sell it. Prices may be way out of line, and you can make an offer, but what doesn't sell on Day 1 will be reduced on Day 2, then again on Day 3, and so on, so sooner or later I will hit a price you like anyway. Prices include US shipping, I will ship overseas at your risk and actual cost. PayPal fees included in price, but do not mention "knife" in comments; I will accept money orders if you like, email me for my address. If you want something, send me an email. PM's are great, posting here is great, but I will see email faster and that is how I will determine who gets what. My email is xeodguy (at) hotmail (dot) com. Thanks.
AUTOS
Pronto by Colonial. Think it's from the 1950's. Nice action, slight up and down play. Doesn't look like it was sharpened after leaving factory, but edge is only fair. Typical auto of that era. $60 Sold
AKC Italy Leverletto by Bill DeShivs. This one was carried and used by previous owner, who also managed to put a slight bend into it. I sent it back to Bill and he did a nice job of straightening it out. Opens quick, locks up well, sharp. $75 Sold
Schrade California Legal tiny auto from Taiwan, believe these were made before Schrade went bankrupt. Coil spring operated, snaps open fast, solid lockup, uncarried, original edge, no box. Withdrawn
Cottellerie CEM Italy small picklock, imitation buffalo horn handles (i.e. plastic), great opening action, has play side to side and up and down but it's not going to close accidentally with that lock mechanism. This one was carried and used, cleaned. Thought about polishing it down with fine sandpaper to restore it, but seems wrong to ruin its heritage to me. My favorite, but I don't have an auto collection so it should go to someone who appreciates it. $125 Sold
Hammer Brand toothpick, celluloid handles, pretty rough overall. Opens kind of slow, lots of play, button barely engages when closed: usually have to slide lock to make sure there is enough pressure to keep it closed. If you need something to restore, this is just right for you. Withdrawn
