Not looking for trades, I have too many knives!
Post "I'll take it" here on the thread for anything you want, in addition to PMing or emailing me through the forum.
Prices include shipping/insurance to anywhere in the US. Payment by paypal (I'll eat the fees) or USPS money order. Additional shipping charges for International, and (of course) only limited shipping insurance available. I WILL NOT lie on a customs form--if you can't legally have something, don't buy it.
Bladeforums is not always reliable notifying me of replies or messages--if you don't hear from me immediately don't worry, if you were the first take something then it's yours.
Please carefully inspect knives upon receiving them. I try to be meticulous about finding flaws, but if I miss something, let me know immediately, and we can talk about either an adjustment to the price if you still want it, or a complete refund in addition to me covering the return shipping. My reputation is important to me, and I'll never try to slip anything by you.
Here we go!
The big ones/choppers:
Farid D3 Competition chopper--An absolute beast. Double grind from 13mm D3 stock. 10" blade, just under 15" long with the bevel thickened near the tip to shift the weight forward. Cork handle with leather scabbard (no belt loop). Tiny amount of scale texture left right at the front of the blade near the spine. Never been used or sharpened, minor marks in the sheath were mostly there when I opened the box, one or two may have been from storage. Taking a HUGE loss on this one but it's too big to just sit around here. $200 SPF
Matt Roberts Devilfish: Kind of a mid-tech from Matt, 1/4" 3V steel with natural micarta handles. These were put out with and without guards, and bead blasted over heat treat scale, which is the texture you can see in the closeup pics..
a) This one has the guard and sheath. Previous owner has epoxied the scales on (they were removable) and looks to have done either a polyurethane or some other type of clear finish over the tang to protect it from the hand. Discolored spot on blade (actually, it appears to be more of the same finish as on the tang). Never used, don't know if it was sharpened or not. Sold
b) This one has no guard or sheath. Came from the same previous owner, this one the tang has a a belt finish and there is a minor rub line (I'd call it a scratch but it doesn't appear to have any depth, it's just shiny) in the bead blast on the blade. Never used, don't know if it was sharpened or not. $SPF
Frazee Recurve--7 3/8" long 3/16" thick 52100 steel, heavily contoured G10/micarta handle, black enamel finish on blade. Never used or sharpened. No sheath $125 SPF
The medium sized/fighters:
Matt Bailey-- Don't remember the steel, but likely 1084 or one of the W series, nice hamon and filework on blade. Never used or sharpened, some handling/storage marks on sheath. $170 SOLD
