Last week I posted a pic of my stash of knives in the showcase for the Grind-In... Sold a handful of the overflow but many remain. Here's a pic with numbers so I can post a description and pricing info. I'm moving these to raise cash for another of my passions. Shoot me a note and we can discuss the details.

1. Blackjack Model 3… Stacked Leather with Sheridan Style hand carved sheath. 395

2. Blackjack Model 16 discontinued… Bone White Micarta with Original type (MOLLE) hand impression carved Iwo Memorial sheath and black replacement sheath. 425

3 & 4. BRK/Vehement MACV/SOG Maroon Micarta & MACV/Recondo Stacked Leather with unused original sheaths. 379.95

5 & 6 Scagel / KSF era Hunter (5) & “Fighter” (6) one of a kind with Lignum vitae and white spacers. Includes Hand Carved Sheaths with classic “Scroll & Flower” or “Vine & Leaf” pattern. These are the centerpieces of my “Fancy” collection. I would prefer to keep them together, but I will separate. 1295 for the pair or 695 each, (first pick gets choice of sheaths).

7. Small Scagel/BRK Sheath sample. Unfinished knife used as the pattern for the sheaths.
Includes the prototype sheath. 250

8. BRK Special Hunting Knife… Full Tang. Matt Green Canvas Micarta w/red liner.
Rowland Type Sheath with Cattails. 395

9. Blackjack Model 7… Green Canvas Micarta with “die layout” prototype sheath. This is the laser cut sheath to assure the pattern is correct. Dies are mirrored as they are flipped in use, a lefty die makes righty sheaths. 295

10. BRK Kephart hidden tang prototype. This is the knife that started the Kephart craze where everyone sold a “Kephart”. This was a prototype made from a 12c27 hidden tang blade with Osage Orange handle. The concept obviously worked and the following knives were full tang. 295

11, 12, 13, 14. Springbok (Sheath Sample), PEEK custom knife (Got in a trade somewhere), Ansgar (unfinished sheath sample), American Knife Co. Forest (test sample for write-up).
Integrity test…. Make me a reasonable offer, I know the integrity of this group so I know you’ll be fair. Don’t disappoint me.

All of these are CONUS to your door so long as it’s by CC or PP-F&F

Just wrapped up restocking the Walk In humidor. The boss HAS TO take on the rotten, dirty, nasty, hard job of tasting the new lines added to the inventory... I would never ask anyone else to do such a task. Right now I'm tasting a Perdomo Lot 23 Belicoso, it's very highly rated and I can see why. Lot 23 is a step beyond a Nicaraguan Puro; Lot 23 represents the "lot" where of all of the to***co was grown. That's very unusual and demonstrates the skill of the blender making sure the cigar isn't a one note composition, this is a very complex medium full smoke. Pop in a try one, you'll like it.

Just got some fresh "Freehand Pipes" in the shop.

Freehand means the pipe maker pretty much allowed the briar to decide it's final shape. They are as much sculpture as they are smoking pipes.

These are fabulous from three well known artisans. Stop in and check them out and visit the humidor for some of our new cigar selection
