Out of supplies sale

Post by Eric C »

Okay, here's the deal. I was hoping to have a couple of Dunedain Sister knives to put up for sale, but one of them has given me enough trouble that I will have to set it aside for now. After putting so much into the one that is now set off to the side, I am out of supplies to use for other knives.

So all I got are these three. They are unfinished as you can see.

Image

Stats so far:
Top knife: Wolf Claw style seax. 9 7/16" OAL
5 7/8" blade. Nearest to completion out of the three.

Middle knife:
Broken Back style OAL Almost 8 7/8"
Blade length: 4 3/8"
Needs final sanding, handle slabs and polish/sharpening.

Bottom knife:
Utility knife: OAL: 9 5/8"
Blade length: 4 7/8"
Needs heat treat/temper then finishing.

So, here's what I can do. I can give you the choice of Walnut, Purpleheart or Cocobolo handle slabs with 3/16" brass pins. These will be completed soon after you order.

What I need: Half down for supplies to finish these knives, and your choice of handle material.

The knife business has sapped too much money out of the house fund for me to continue to do it. I can't afford to keep buying the sandpaper and other supplies to finish the knives. I'm hoping to make the knives become self supporting. If I can't do that, then I will have to stop making them on a regular basis.

Sorry, I can't accept trades at this time. While trades are great for getting an item you really need, they don't replace supplies you've used for the knives.

Price: $70.00 each. If you buy more than one, or all three, we'll see about working out a break on that.

Erf, I wish I could get that top blade but I'm strapped for cash myself right now! :(

Seems to be the story for a large slice of us.

Just want to give these knives a little bump. It's a chance to get one of my knives in two small payments and to get them pretty quickly.

Holy Hollin!

That's one gorgeous knife!

And how is the proud father today?!?!

All kidding aside...could we see a pic of it in hand, to get an idea of scale?

Thanks! You're a lucky on!

Regrettably it is in SC and I am in MS. The wife took those pics. I'll get some additional pics as soon as I get home.

'Tis alright...when you have time. I can settle for the penny and floppy disk for scale references, for the time being.

I was really happy to find that wood for the handle. It is walnut that a friend gave me. It came from a piece that had a knot hole in it. I moved up a few inches from the knot and cut out the slabs.

Kaelln: If you're interested, PM me and we'll see if we can work something out. I understand tight money.

Well he has possession of that knife now so he can take better pics of it in his hand so you can get a better idea of it's size and such. Eric, that wood is beautiful. It came out awsome.
