I've got a few knives that I'd like to offer up for trade.
Group shot:
Grange Park Knife Works Kiwi SOLD
This knife is from Kyle Mellino who is an apprentice under Andy Roy at Fiddleback Forge. Knife was bought directly from Kyle and has been used to cut open the tape on packaging/opening mail a few times. It does not have a sheath, so it has not been carried. Dyed Box Elder Burl over Natural Liners and Lime Pinstripes, 3/32" A2 steel with a Skeletonized Full Tang. This knife is little. 4 1/2" overall length with a 2" blade length. Original edge has not been sharpened or stropped.
Wostenholm Pen Knife
This small pen knife is handled in French Ivory. It has been carried only a few times by me, but as I am not the original owner, I don't know what kind of life it has lead. The photos show the blade rub marks on the main blade; I'm 99% confident this was caused by me when opening the blades and not from the blades naturally rubbing against each other. Knife is 3 1/4" closed. I really don't know much about this knife regarding age or blade steel.
Austin Goldman TRADED
Purchased new directly form Austin here on BladeForums. Knife is 8 1/4" OAL with a 3 1/4" edge. Steel is .139" CPM 154CM double tempered with cryo to a 60Rc hardness. Green Canvas Micarta over Orange G-10 Spacers and 304 stainless fittings. No sheath. Knife has been used sparingly and not abused. This knife has been sharpened.
Grohmann #2 TRADED
Received in a trade as used and continued to be used in the kitchen. This knife is made with C70 carbon steel and is a full flat grind; which is a combination that is a bit hard to find. It comes with the original box and leather sheath. Patina through kitchen use. Has not been abused. Has been sharpened and stropped.
The Queen-made Schatt & Morgan will be in the next post.
What I'm interested in:
The top of the list right now is leather crafting tools and consumables. More specifically, I'm looking for:
-Overstitching wheel (preferably the "kit" style with multiple wheels)
-Diamond Punches
-#2 Edge Beveler
-V-Gouge
-Bone Folder
-Edge Slicker
-4oz-10oz Vegetable tanned leather
-1mm-1.2mm waxed thread
-Soft-faced mallet
-Cutting mat
-Stone work surface
-Stitching Pony
I will also consider other crafting tools and accesories like a 1x30 belt sander or small drill press.
As far as knives that I may be interested in:
-1988 Black Box Winchester Gunstock
-2018 GEC 15 Single Spear Blade Ebony Barehead Jack
-Resolza Pattada or similar
-Laguiole
-US-made Schrade Sharpfinger
-KA-BAR Dog's Head Utility Knife
-Fiddleback Forge Machete
-Fixed blades in 3/32" or less stock (thinner the better) with "mid-range" steels (i.e. CPM154, VG-10, AEB-L, etc)
I'm okay with multiples going towards single knives either way, but I do not have any cash to add.
Thanks for stopping by! Start up a Conversation or email me with any questions or offers.
