Well, I made a number of impulse buys over the past few months, and finally saw my final grail knife come up for sale, so I am selling these beauties at a deep discount. If you want multiples PM me for an even better price. No pics yet, but I will attempt pulling pics from the original sales threads to repost here. Not even going anywhere near a post office until after the weekend, nor am I able to post new pics until then, but descriptions are all accurate.

I can accept the following forms of payment: Paypal F&F, Zelle, Cash app. I can only ship to CONUS addresses. Sales are only finalized when I post SOLD in this thread, any item marked SPF will be held for 24 hours or until payment is received in full.

First up is a Piranha Excalibur presented as a user. Black handle, polished DE blade is sharp, functions flawlessly. As some might know, this OTF was an improvement on the Sandhark design and outperforms similar Microtechs in every way. Light handling marks on handle, button, clip and a missing screw was replaced by the prior owner who is a member here. Outstanding knife, think I paid 325 for this beauty. WITHDRAWN

Next is a very old Pattada side opener handmade by an unknown master maker in Sardinia, likely in the 1940s or 1950s. VERY RARE KNIFE! You never see these come up for sale. 3.5" blade is razor sharp, brass and copper hardware, honey horn scales and stainless liners, strong snap. A highly collectable work of art valued at 400. The only reason I'm parting with this is because I am a lefty (but loved this right handed knife so much I bought it anyway). WITHDRAWN

I have an early 1980s vintage pre-Concorde OTF with a heavy chrome plated handle, screw together body for easy takedown, and a "dagger" blade (which is only sharpened on one side). From a collector and presented as like new, but I'll call it excellent. Very smooth action. Very rare... in 30+ years of collecting this is the only one I've ever seen. SOLD!!!

Fairly rare 1978-1981 vintage heavyweight 3 pin Nato Military OTF. Later versions were less than half the weight and stuck together with epoxy, this here is the original design those knockoffs were based on. Like new, unused and uncarried, was presented as NOS by a reputable seller. SOLD!!!

Finally, I have a matched pair of XL DE Italian style OTF stilettos, "tuxedo" style with black hardware and ivory acrylic scales. I bought a bunch of these to give away as gifts, very reliable mechanism, blades can take a keen edge (but require sharpening), and deployed they're like a foot long... very impressive looking knives.

Added an original NATO Military OTF... these are fairly rare in like new condition, but the knockoffs pop up fairly often and you don't want those.

Gonna attempt linking to pics in this post. It'll take me awhile to add them on future edits over the next coupla hours.

Pre-Concorde chrome handled OTF: Seller's Instagram page was taken down and I cannot find a pic anywhere on the internet. This looks very similar to the AKC version, but is sterile with no writing on the blade or handle. Will try taking a pic tonight if I have time.

Why can't you take your own photos?
Because I AM AT WORK and had no intention of selling these knives until ACK notified me that a grail just was listed for sale.

Every photo (with the exception of the Grindworx item link) is the EXACT KNIFE BEING SOLD, purchased over the past few months and stored away unused.
 
All knives are in excellent condition with no discernable flaws (other than noted in description of carry/handling marks on the Excalibur). They are all new or like new aside from the Excalibur, which is basically perfect with a slightly distressed finish.

All knives are listed significantly lower than I paid for them (with the exception of the Pattada, which had been on my watch list for a long time before dropping town to about what my asking price is once shipping and taxes are factored in).

I will lower prices further for anyone who purchases multiple knives and am open to reasonable offers but no trades, thanks.
 
Finally realized I can upload pics directly now! I hate image sharing sites... what a bother that was. There is a bit of oil on the blades I didn't wipe off.
