Hi-
I have the following blades for sale at this time. The bills need attention or I wouldn't sell these. First to post here that they will take it will get first dibs. PM or email me with questions or requests, I can always take more pics if you need them. I prefer USPS MO, but can accept PP reluctantly. Prices listed include shipping via USPS priority insured mail. I am open to offers, but please keep them reasonable. I do not need trades or I would just keep them. I strongly prefer to keep knife sales inside the USA. By agreeing to purchase you are certifying that you are at least 18 years old, and you are responsible for knowing your local laws.

SPF..................First is a Rob Criswell (2002) wakizashi with 20" blade. I don't need to say much about this, except it is in great condition showing very little (if any) use and includes the original sheath. Get one while you still can for $450. I don't want to sell this, I know I'll regret it........now SPF.

Second is a custom ordered Phillip Patton recurve camp knife. This is my grail piece, that Mr Patton forged for me from 1/4" thick W2 to show the very active hamon. The handle is black micarta, the sheath is black leather. OAL is 13", the blade is just under 8" to the guard, the cutting edge is just under 7". I have never used it and don't think I could. The quality is amazing, and the shape of the handle is fantastic. If this doesn't sell, I won't mind much. I'm asking for $500.

Quick question!! On the second pic of the sword, on the closeup of the guard, there are some marks on the blade.

I am very interested in this sword, but those marks caught my eye. Let me know!!

Thanks!!
 
I noticed the marks in the pic too, and can confirm there is some very light surface scratching in that area of the blade. It is so close to the guard that I believe it to be from the sheath and not from any use. There are a few light marks on the blade, but for being nearly 10 years old I think you'll be pleased. If not turned into the light just perfectly it is difficult to see those....
 
Consider it sold, I will not make an offer and just pay the $450 you are requesting, nice and easy...but, I have to use Paypal (I will make it a gift if you want). Is that fine?

PM sent as well.

UPDATE: Payment sent on Wak.
