I tried to absorb the shipping costs but that was causing me to lose money on some knives where i had no margin to begin with. So I am going to be charging a flat rate of $10 in the USA even though some shipping now is as much as $18.00. For additional photos or questions please contact us. @ ghdave2@hotmail.com
Number A1: Nice vintage Paul Chen tanto with forged and clay tempered 11 inch carbon steel blade. The blade has a slight blush in one spot (just above the A1 tag) where rust wanted to get started many years ago. The handle is wrapped with real ray skin and cotton chord (not nylon) The wooden sheath is properly lacquered and has real horn and white metal mounts. I bought this as new, old stock from a company years ago. It is a terrific older tanto and not some modern junk. Price is $225 + $10 shipping
Number A2: I bought this knife years ago because the lines are so damned beautiful I intended to find a knife maker to make me a new one using this as a pattern. One of those projects that never got done. Maybe you would like to take over. It is an older, classical, Mexican Bowie with horn and antler handle. Knife is tight. Hollow ground 8 1/2 inch blade has rust pitting on both sides and is still razor sharp. If I can find the sheath I will include it. Overall length is 13 inches. Very long clip point This is a perfect model for a fast fighter. Price is only $75 and I'll include the shipping on it. OR IF YOU'D MAKE ME A COPY I'LL GIVE YOU THIS ONE!
Number A3: Very nice Arkansas Toothpick! High quality blade. Would be great for Civil War, Mexican War reenactments. The blade is 11 inches long and very sharp. It has what looks like a wire brushed finish but it is not from cleaning it. I don't know why its that way. The brass cross guard is tight and nicely made. The handle is formed of two antler slabs on a hidden tang. The large brass pommel is tight also. One great fighting knife, No sheath but it would be simple to make one for it. Price is $125 Now $115+ $10 shipping CONUS
Number A4: Hard to find 1960-70s survival knife "Life Knife." In mint condition with the exception of the wear on the pouch flap. The sharpening stone is there, the compass in the butt still works, and the hollow handle is still filled with its original fishing line and other goodies. Buy this and try your hand at survival : ) Hard to find one any nicer than this. Price is $115 Now $100 + $10 shipping in CONUS
Number A5: ON HOLD American Kami boot knife. Chisel-hollow ground 3 1/2 inch blade is razor sharp! (Backside of blade is flat ground) It is 6 inches long overall with beautiful crimson paracord handle wrap and tassel. Slips nicely inside the waistband for concealed carry too. One tiny kydex scratch. Kydex sheath. Price is $115 + $10 shipping in CONUS.
Number A6: This is a very early knife by a now famous knife maker named Michael Rader. It was made for clearing a way through light jungle underbrush. Full tang construction and rugged as hell. It has an 11 inch blade and 5 inch handle. Nothing fancy but a great fighting, working, or camping knife. No Sheath Price is $175 Reduced to $160 + $10 shipping CONUS
A7 Vintage Paul Chen Tactical Tanto. This rare knife has a 7 inch clay tempered carbon steel blade with subtle hamon. Overall length is 12 inches. The handle is covered in genuine black ray skin and there is a blued steel guard and pommel to set it off. Originally it came with a steel sheath that wanted to cause rust and create scratches. So I bought this tactical sheath to protect it and store it in. The sheath cost $35 but solved the other issues. It will shave hair. Some cloudiness on the blade from oil, it is not rust! If you want a semi-traditional/tactical tanto thats not Cold Steel this is it. Price $175.00 + $10 shipping in CONUS

This is as fine a dagger you will find, from Germany. Price is $175.00 Reduced to $160 + $10 shipping CONUS
A9 Al Mar Warrior: Okay here's the deal. I don't want to sell this knife very bad, but I will if someone comes up with a fair offer (close to $900-1,000). Looking on Ebay I see they are selling for between $750 - $1,900. The knife is in awesome condition and is the rarer dark bladed version. The sheath and knife are about 95%. No box. This is one of the most iconic fighting knife designs ever. contact me if you are interested and we'll see if we can reach a deal.
Malay: A pair of Malaysian style work or fighting knives. These were brought back by a Green beret from his time in that area. I do not know much more about them but there are slips of paper that tells where he got them. I bought them as a pair and will sell them that way. The top one has a bird's head style handle. The sheaths are made of very light wood similar to that used for katana scabbards. One remains unstained and both are as new as the day they were made. These would make a very nice display. The blades are maker marked. Price for the pair is $115 INCLUDING shipping. OBO

Decker-Sandow Cobra Fighting Knife
Below: One noted knife magazine editor said my Cobra is what the REKAT Hobbit could have been if the REKAT design had fully matured. This is a very powerful knife in a small compact package.
The Cobra evolved over a period of several years from the big D-S#4 to the model marked #4. To improve gripping i had the maker add grooves in the handles, making them the 5th version. When traveling I often carry the one marked #3.

Here is a one-off model Cobra with single edge and low profile handles. It travels all over Europe with an Executive Protection Agent. Easily concealed and accessed, it is a good companion to have in a tight spot or dangerous places.

New Cobras showing off their new colors. These are the only five available for the present. One of the six is sold already. These are still made in New Zealand by Brent Sandow. We have gone back to the original, thinner Scandinavian Sandvik 12c27 stock. This makes for a much sharper knife with better edge angles than the thicker stock we once tried. The handle contouring is more aggressive and gives a firmer grip. Each knife will come with a custom fitted kydex sheath. My cost has gone up as has shipping, but I am going to hold the selling price at $325 including shipping CONUS. (Buy a Cobra without sheath and make your own for $300). These are the colors available right this minute. I cannot guarantee when the next group will arrive or what colors will be available. Contact me at ghdave2@hotmail.com to purchase one. The Cobra is a real handful of mayhem. the background photo is from the July 2007 issue of Tactical Knives magazine which included my early Cobra on a page (top left corner) along with other Custom Tactical knives. I still carry the knife shown in the magazine photo.
Below: Only these four Cobras are left for sale. The brown handled one (top right) is sold.
TESTING COBRAS: If you think a small knife won't cut, take a look at this photo. The cutting medium was as thick as the blade was long. Proper technique is what makes the difference. I have taught knife-fighting for years and test cutting is one way to learn how each individual knife cuts. The Cobra Fighting knife also out-penetrated every one of the Fairbairn knives I tested it against! That even amazed me! The penetration test was against a stack of heavy cardboard. I used reverse grip and my hand did not slip at all during this test, even though this was an early smooth handled model. The handle shape is ergonomic, prevents slipping, and doesn't poke you in the ribs when you are seated. FOR LEO it is easily carried on your weak side or stacked behind your holster.
The teeth on the back edge are not for show! They are there to trap an opponents arm (or neck) and re-direct his attack. This knife is specifically designed for close-in Silat type knife work.You LEO can tell the sergeant they're for cutting seat belts! The Cobra is the result of all of my years training and teaching Knife-fighting. The past editor of Fighting Knives Magazine (and a Special Forces Veteran) owns three of my Cobra Fighting Knives. That ought to tell you something! They are made one at a time in New Zealand and are only available from me. A firm in Russia made some unauthorized copies and priced them at over $600.It was also featured in a Russian outdoors sports magazine.
