Sadly I need to sell a bunch of knives to pay for my mother's sudden unending emergency out-of-pocket medical expenses. A drop in the bucket, but a drop. I'm selling what are basically new or nearly new knives first, some not even carried. Some of these I received after this emergency, they've stayed in the boxes except to take photos and test. I'm trying to price these to move quickly, offers will be considered. Sorry, no trades at this time.
Rules:
First “I’ll take it” posted here (time stamp) followed up with a PM gets the knife. These knives are cross-posted so I would appreciate the time stamp. I will be telling many people who were on the fence these are now posted.
Terms of Purchase:
Price listed is total cost to you! There are 2 prices, Goods and Services or Friends and Family. If you decide to "take a chance" I give you a 3% discount. I pay 2-day USPS priority shipping and insurance.
Payment via PayPal.
All knives shipped insured priority USPS to CONUS only, sorry - I'm firm on this one, my life has been turned upside-down, so USPS and click n ship is it.
You will be required to sign for the package!
You must be at least 18 years of age and are responsible for compliance with any state or local knife laws. Seller holds no responsibility for self-inflicted wounds or other dangerous behavior.
Please PM me with any specific questions, additional photos, videos, etc. and I will accommodate your request as quickly as possible. TIA for giving me a little reaction time as I’m pretty busy right now, but rest assured you will have 100% of my attention once we close a transaction. Thank you.
Ferrum Forge Gavko Spinner - Rare Left Handed model
WITHDRAWN: You can always PM me if interested
3.5" Blade CPM-20CV
This one is literally new, completely refurbished. I purchased it from Mike Gavak, who did the anodizing. I had found that I was fighting years of muscle memory, and just didn't use the knife. It was carried maybe 2-3 times, and put away. After a few weeks in the case I pulled it out and found wouldn't lock up at all!
As it turns out FF purchased a bad batch of Ti that was used on many of the Spinners. This literally just came back from Chris' Bench at Ferrum Forge 1/29/18.
The lock side scale has been replaced, and the whole knife resurfaced and re-anodized as naturally they couldn't match exactly what Mike had done. Cons: Zero. Action is perfect, it's been flipped maybe a dozen times, photographed and put back in its pouch. Beautiful 2-tone blue and green anodizing. Gorgeous!

Reate Future (integral)
G&S $old, F&F $old
3.75" Blade M390
This is a beast of a knife, and gorgeous. Sweeping lines, great ergonomics, phenomenal action. However because of its size and weight I've just never really felt compelled to carry it. It's a lot of fun to admire and play with, but I've just not used it. I know a lot of people that love this knife, it's their top Reate and favorite integral. It's also no longer made, and becoming rarer. This is priced to move, $100 less than the last listing price I saw. Blade is in perfect condition, it's not been used to cut anything of note. Cons: There are some minor gaps in the CF, this is a Reate "feature" from what I can tell! There's also some scritch-scratchy spots on the finish, which came that way, I assume part of the tumbled look as it's never been carried. The photos show everything.

Reate K1
G&S $old, F&F $old
3.875" Blade RWL-34
This is one of my favorite Reate knives, and it has been carried, although not as much as a couple of others. I love the grind, I love the ergonomics, and the action is the second best of any Reate I own (which is a few). It boils down to the keepers, the Torrent wins by the slightest margin and even then I'm second guessing that decision. This was one of the first runs, and uses RWL-34 steel. It has the satin grind, and is one of the most beautiful production blades I've seen. Cons: The top edges of the CF has gaps and is slightly rough in appearance. I've been told the issue has been solved, I also think it was not a problem with the marbled CF. Other than that, the knife is near mint and the blade is flawless.

Reate Epoch, Damascus and Mokuti (insert, clip)
G&S $old, F&F $old
3.5" Damascus Damasteel
Just a beautiful knife. I withdrew it from sale a few weeks back, but just delaying the inevitable. I simply don't carry it, and need to whittle down the Reate collection. Fantastic ergos, great action, pictures can't do it justice. Near mint condition. Priced less than regular Epoch. Cons: near microscopic chipping on edge (see pictures), which would be easily eliminated with sharpening. Came from factory like this - I only saw because of photographs, never bothered to return it. I've also not bothered changing the factory edge, obviously.

Liong Mah GSD (Built by Reate)
G&S $old, F&F $old
3.25" Blade CPM-S35VN
This one has been carried also, one of my favorite EDC sized knives. However it's in absolutely excellent condition so I'm offering it here. The action is superb, I love the ergos but some complain about the jimping on the blade. It doesn't bother me, really. If you've not seen the reviews on YT I suggest you take a look, but overall most people love this knife, as I do. Liong Mah's designs are one-of-a-kind. Cool orange peel finish on the Ti, reversible clip, beautiful carbon fiber with no gaps. Cons: None really. This knife is in near mint condition. Great price on a great knife.

Arcform Slimfoot (Built by Reate)
G&S $old, F&F $old
3.5" PM-S35VN
This is just a cool $#&* knife. You'll probably either love it or hate it. I personally love sheepsfoot and Wharncliffe type designs. This is a modernized take of a gentleman's folder, designed by Geoff Blauvelt. The action is superb as you'd expect from a Reate. It's slim, light and easy to carry. It's also surprisingly useful. I've carried it, but infrequently, usually what I term "office/church carry". Cons: No flaws to finish, knife is near mint.
