I donated two knives as prizes for the fundraiser for BigBiscuit, and both of the winners elected to have me sell the knives and send the funds to Bob. (You rock, Mason Knives and Joe58!)
PayPal only, "goods" only, continental US only. Prices include Priority Mail shipping, and I'll cover the PayPal fee. I will donate the full amount of both sales to Bob (to be clear: without deducting the PP fee or shipping -- Bob gets it all).
The first "I'll take it" in this thread followed by a PM gets dibs. (Questions, "I might be interested if," and the like aren't the same as claiming a knife.) If I haven't seen your PM within an hour, I'll assume you changed your mind and the knife will be available to others.
Knife #1 is a 1982 Case One Arm Man Barlow with stag covers. Knife #2 is a 2009 Schatt & Morgan #99 Scout with smooth autumn bone covers. Both have been lightly used and carried, but have spent the last several months carefully stored in my knife chest. I love both of these knives, but they've never seen much pocket time.
Barlow: $100 > $90 > $75 > $50 - Pull on the main blade is a 5 or 6, nicely pinchable, sits to the left but no rubbing. Pull on the pen is a 7. The pen blade's tip is slightly dull (as it came to me), centered. No play or wobble in either blade. The knife shows signs of age, including some patina on the liners and marks on the bolsters, but overall I'd rate it as being in quite good shape.
The stag is beautiful -- warm and mellow, which makes sense after 34 years. Covers are well-matched in character and thickness; I've included "profile" shots of the stag below.
Scout: $65 SOLD - I think of this as a harness knife, but it rides on S&M's #99 Scout frame. Both blades are a 4 pull, and centered. No play or wobble. I can pinch the spear if I get it just right. It shows some minor signs of pocket wear and light use.
The blade pairing and the bone are the superstars on this one, with lots of depth and shifting colors in the covers.
Thanks for looking, and if you have questions please don't hesitate to ask.
