Post Body

Happy Friday folks. I'm looking to consolidate my life a little bit as I get older, so I've listed pieces that, while in great shape, don't see sunlight. Before you go further, I am shipping out of VA and all prices include priority USPS shipping within the US. Prices are also listed for PP G S. All pieces sold before Monday morning will ship Monday on my lunch. Please also note that I intend to cross-list the knives at the same price points elsewhere, so I will do my best to update the post if and when pieces sell regardless of platform.

Edit: I'm having difficulty embedding Imgur links, so I've posted them explicitly while I sort that out.

Demko 20.5 in 3V with Micarta scales and deep carry clip -- $210

This is the standard 20.5 blade in 3V, which has been outfitted with brown micarta scales and a deep carry clip. I received this in a trade from a friend who was first owner, and while the edge is original I did touch it up with a strop and oil the blade before I put it into storage after a few weeks of carry. I've got a pair of the red grivory hardware that I'm happy to include if you'd like it. The scales and deep carry clip are in great condition, with good lock up and centering (courtesy of the shark lock). No issues with the knife besides the fact I don't carry it.

Slipjoints Bundle -- $135

These two are an Ohio River Jack and a RoseCraft Blades Zambezi. I'm also throwing in a "ghost" slip that I picked up along the way, as it fits the Zambezi really well and I'm a fan of belt clip slips. The ORJ is the single blade, black micarta wharncliffe in M390, and the Zambezi is the original model in D2. Both knives are uncarried, and show no signs of wear except perhaps a smudge from handling them for photos. I've tried to capture the pristine nature of the bolters and blades in the photos. I love traditional knives but I have found no other traditional ever kicks my 1095 Mudbug out of my pocket, so I'd rather sell these than have them take up space. Take both and the slip for $135.

ABW Model 1 v5 FrameLock -- $190 Available Again

Got one of these to compare it to the Skaha II, and I was really pleased with the knife. This is the Model 1 v5 Ti framelock in 20CV. The blade is scary sharp and while the action is a little stiff, it still is easily deployed with a lightswitch motion; probably not push-button though, unless you've got very muscular thumbs. Partly due to the working finish on the steel, this one shows almost no signs of carry. Both the black G10 and the Ti frame are without any visible scratches. Comes with ABW taco pouch.

Koenig Arius -- $615 Sold

I managed to get this new from a coworker (who ended up with several) after years of pining for one; it is a tremendous knife and beloved for good reason. This one is like new, EXCEPT for the anodization of the patterned handle, which is a faint, steely blue and goes nicely with the OG bronzed hardware. The blade is M390 and has zero scratches. The action is immaculate, and the textured Ti is really pleasant in the hand. I've held onto this through multiple rounds of collection-slimming, but I can't justify keeping a knife I don't use, no matter how impressive it is. The knife will come with the original box and CoA, as well as a pair of Skiff bearings if you'd like them.

HellGnome 4Finger Duster -- $275

HellGnome Album - https://imgur.com/a/fS8BDtk

Solid brass paperweight, masterfully carved by the HellGnome with his trusty Dremel. If you like brass work at all, I encourage you to check him out regardless of if you buy these. I've handled my fair share of paperweights, and these things are clear and away the best craftsmanship I have experienced. The 'funked' finish was put on by him at my request. If they don't sell, they will continue to weight my Atlas pages, but I hope to find them another home where they'll be appreciated.

Please don't hesitate to PM me with questions; I'm happy to provide more photos too. Hope everyone enjoys their night.
