SOME NEW LISTINGS
O Tanto: A Custom large tanto by my old friend Gary Bradburn. It took three tries before he got a blade that didn't crack on quench. This magnificent tanto is the result. Stark simplicity with dyed red ray skin and epoxied black ito (wrap). It was water quenches using the clay coating to develop a genuine hamon. The one side has a very detailed sterling silver dragon menuki. The blade is 12.5 inches long with an overall length of 16 inches. It has been a safe queen all its life. Gary has passed and I am keeping all of his smaller tanto, but I am selling this one, and this one only.
I am selling off some of my Bowie collection to pay for a new addition to my Commando Knife collection. Hate to see them go but I can't afford to keep everything.
No. 1A STAG BOWIE: Another high quality custom Bowie knife. The ricasso is stamped "Byrd". The highly polished blade is just over 9 inches flat ground and very sharp. The long clip is not sharpened. A brass habaki (collar) is fitted to the ricasso. A beautiful german silver guard is expertlt fitted. The handle scales are genuine stag with no cracks and held in place by three nickle silver pins. its original brown leather sheath is included. I am asking $350 NEW SALE PRICE OF $325 shipped CONUS
This is not a Brandsetter Bowie, That would cost you over $800 No. 1b HALF HORSE HALF ALLIGATOR BOWIE: This is a nice older Brtish style Bowie, from probably the 1960s. No makers name but really good quality.The 9.75 inch blade is sharp and has a nice long clip on the back edge. The leather sheath has german silver mounts and is very well made and a perfect fit. The scales are tight with no cracks, made from bone, with German silver pins, guard and shield escutcheon. An excellent choice if you are into cowboy shooting or reenacting. I am asking $325 shipped CONUS.
NO. 2: This unusual French dagger looks like a flolder and indeed there is a folding model. The hilt is metal painted black with some loss of paint. It is tight with no wiggle. Unfortunately there is no sheath for it. The blade remains unsharpened and is a full 10 inches long with a 5 inch hilt. The crossguard is integral. Price CONUS is reduced to $90 $110 including shipping. It is a very unique piece. It would be easy to remove and repaint the aluminum scales bringing it back to new condition.

Anyway they are a beautiful set and the price shipped CONUS is New PRICE $975.00 for the PAIR. I must be crazy! You will not find another set like this anywhere at any price! "These knives will kill!" LOL The larger one is what a Persian Bowie would look like if there was such a thing.

NEW: Like Big Knives? These are hand forged Steven Tedford Persian fighters. Made in Canada by an established maker. There are no sheaths for these knives. These are some of the slickest Persian style fighting knives you're liable to see. The blades are about 10 inches. These are seriously big fighters but light in the hand. Sculpted Rosewood handles with nickel silver pins provide a great grip. They are gorgeous and I will sell either of the top two knives for $300 each or $550 for the pair shipped in the CONUS. Buy all Three for $850 USD CONUS
Two vintage miniature daggers 8 3/4 inches long. They have nicely made stacked leather washer handles. They are fitted with brass guards and pommels. Tight with no wiggles. I cannot predict the heat treat; they are not sharp. But, they would make nice presents for on someone's desk as letter openers. Buy the pair of them for just $75 shipped CONUS.
ITAC Hawkbill Tanto: This is a very nice custom tanto. I have kept one for myself. The blade is 6 inches and has a real clay temper hamon. Its 12 inches overall. The heavy kydex sheath is leather covered. The grip is wrapped in real ray skin (same) and leather over-wrapping (ito). There are two very detailed and high relief floral menuki under the wrapping. It is not a cheap knife, but the quality is tops!! $450 shipped CONUS
Unusual, flamboyant? Yes this is a custom knife I had made as an experiment. I wanted a bigger version of my Cobra, and I consigned two makers on the USN site to make their version. It certainly looks more like an Al Mar Warrior than my Cobra. The color of the grip is USN green. It comes with a nicely made kydex sheath. The blade is about 5 3/4 inches and overall length of about 11 inches. You won't ever see another one anywhere. price is $350 shipped Conus.
Pacific Cutlery Fer de Lance: An old school fighting knife designed by knife instructor David Steele. Rare and very hard to find. I still consider this one of the premier designs for a sensible sized fighting knife. The blade is about 7 inches. It has an integral guard. The slender grip scales are a brownish grey micarta and held by stainless pins. It is fully double edged for making devastating back-cuts. It comes with its original nylon sheath with working snap and velcro strap. This would not even be for sale except I prized them so highly I ended up owning three. I won't be selling any of the others so if you want one you better buy this one! $400 shipped CONUS
VietNam Era Garcia Survival Knife: These were produced in South America during the Vietnam era and sold by Randall in their sheaths. The pommel screws off revealing a cavity for fishing line, hooks, etc. The grip is stacked leather washers and everything is tight. The guard is designed with holes for lashing the knife to a pole to make a spear. The sheath has its original sharpening stone in the pocket. The "Randall Made" stamp is clearly seen on the sheath frog. A war horse of a knife. Asking only $250 shipped CONUS
Tine Dagger: A modern adaptation of the WW-II SOE tine dagger. It is not very accurate, but it is a better knife than the originals.
