FALLKNIVEN. SWEDEN. "GENTLEMAN'S POCKET KNIFE".

These are extremely well made knives - as is the complete range of Fallkniven - and this particular folder is handled in lovely Amber Jigged Bone, which has now been discontinued as an option. The blade is premium Laminated CS (Cobalt Steel) with a solid Liner-Lock making for a very attractive package. Blade:7.8cm. Oal:18cm. This knife has been very lightly used and shows a few very faint scratches and the blade has been re-sharpened (properly). Complete with black leather slip case.

Excellent condition. £265 inc. p&p.

OTTER MESSER, SOLINGEN. GERMANY. "SHEEPFOOT LINER-LOCK"

A high quality pocket knife, with a solid liner-lock mechanism, from a well respected German maker. While Otter offer a range of knives at different price points, this Sheepfoot model is obviously from the higher end and, in fact, may now be discontinued? Made from Premium Bohler N690 s/steel and handled in Plum wood this hand crafted folder would be a pleasure to own. Blade:90mm. Closed:115mm. Complete with original box.   As new, unused condition. SALE PRICE: £110 inc. UK p&p.

A lovely example of this very popular folder from CRK. This example is handled in Gabon Ebony and was made in 2013. (CRK tend to offer various handle inlays before being discontinued for a different material, which adds to the Collector appeal). The steel is S35VN s/steel.

A 'refresh' for this super folder from Andre. Made in 2004 but still in mint condition, this is a folder that will not disappoint. Made from 12c27 s/steel with 'textured & coloured' bolsters and handled in Green Maple with anodised titanium liners that have been fileworked in a Vine pattern.

CHRIS REEVE KNIVES. USA. "SEBENZA - BIG FIVE Series".

Wow! An unique opportunity for the CRK Collector to acquire a rare Set of CGG (Computer Generated Graphics) large Sebenza folders that I've never seen for sale in the UK before.

This is actually the complete Set as despite being issued as the African 'Big Five', CRK have never made the other two animals (Elephant and Lion). The Leopard was made in 2017, followed by the Cape Buffalo in 2018 and finally the Rhino in 2019. All knives have their boxes and paperwork.

Mint, unused as new condition. NEW PRICE: £1875 inc. UK p&p.

SALE PENDING J.PATRICK. UK. "EAGLE GRADE FOLDING LOCK KNIFE."

See details in BUSHCRAFT.

Mint unused condition. £295 inc. UK p&p.

SOLD G. WORSTENHOLM -IXL. SHEFFIELD. "EQUAL-END PENKNIFE"

A superb example from this world renowned Knifemaker. The main blade has the familiar 'Oil the Joints' stamping and apparently this was used on their folders from 1890 to 1930, although some say as late as 1970 so it's hard to date this particular knife. My guess is that it was made around the 1930's from the quality of the fit & finish but it is only a guess. The scales are Celluloid but of a colouring I have not seen before. Usually they imitate a natural material (stag, pearl, ivory, etc.) but this has a 'flow' with various shades of red. Perhaps someone out there will know more than myself? Very nice 'walk & talk' on both blades with a nice snap on opening and closing. Main blade:2 inches. Pen blade:1-1/2 inches. Closed:3-3/8 inches. Excellent, unused condition. 

ROBERT 'BOB' TERZUOLA. "MICRO STARFIGHTER".

Despite being one of the Custom Knife World's biggest names - and some might say the 'Father' of the Tactical Folder - Bob's knives are extremely rare over here in the UK. This knife is the smaller version of Bob's 'Century Starfighter' model and is now discontinued. The blade has had a chemical treatment to blacken the blade and the handle is G10, with a single titanium liner and titanium pocket clip. The liner lock locks the blade safely but there is a small 'up & down' movement, so the lock needs a little 'tweaking'. Because of that, I have priced this knife very competitively. Blade:3 inches. Closed:4 inches. No box or pouch. (Patch & business card are my own and not included in sale).

Excellent condition. £350 inc. UK p&p.

GERBER KNIVES. USA. "Discontinued Model".

Lovely discontinued model. Please email for details.

Unused condition. £49 inc. UK p&p.

SOLD W.R.CASE & SONS. USA. "EQUAL END PEN".

A really lovely knife out of my own Collection. While I would be the first to agree that the quality of Case knives can vary, this particular example would delight the most fastidious collector. Made in 1982, this would be a perfect 'EDC' (Every Day Carry) or addition to a collection with near perfect 'walk & talk' and a nice firm snap on opening & closing. Main blade: 1-7/8 inches. Pen: 1-1/2 inches. Closed:3-1/8 inches. Delrin jigged bone scales. Whoever buys this will not be disappointed.

Mint, unused condition. 

SPYDERCO. USA. "SpyOpera" - Sprint Run".

Spyderco are renowned for their Sprint Runs - "a special production run of a knife not found in our regular product line". This is a particularly nice model with its Damasteel blade was and made in Italy for them by Lionsteel. Blade: 2-7/8 inches. Closed: 4-1/8 inches. This knife shows very light use but could do with resharpening. Complete with original pouch and paperwork.   Near mint condition. £275 inc. UK p&p.

SOLD SPYDERCO. USA. "Stretch V-Toku2  - Sprint Run".

Yet another Sprint Run edition from Spyderco, famous for using 'exotic' steels, with this one having a blade made from V-Toku2 steel. One of my favourite models, this folder has many years of service left in it having only had the lightest of use. Blade: 3-1/2 inches. Closed: 4-3/4 inches. Complete with original box. Excellent condition. £155 inc. UK p&p.

WENGER, SAK. "PORSCHE DESIGN 35 - TRAVELER".

One for the SAK Connoisseur. Introduced in 2002, this is the first model from Wenger's Elite Series created in conjuction with Porsche's Design Studio. Sadly, the presentation box and paperwork have long since seperated from the knife but this is still are very rare model. (Complete boxed Set are priced in the high hundreds!). This particular version has the logo of the watch company 'Valgine' on the blade, so quite possibly a knife & watch Set ? I'm sure there are SAK Collectors out there more informed than myself.  Mint, unused condition. £145 inc. UK p&p.

SOLD  STAN SHAW. "LOBSTER".

At first glance this looks like one of the (very!) many 2-blade s/steel knives produced in Sheffield over the years, but on closer inspection you will see it has come from the talented hands of that great Sheffield 'Little Mester' - Stan Shaw, now sadly deceased. Whilst Stan's work never really reached the level of the best USA slipjoint Makers, he had a pedigree unequalled (and envied by US makers) and was rightly revered by all of us who love hand made folders and waited patiently on his list for a knife. Main blade:2 inches. Pen blade: 1-5/8 inches. Closed; 3-1/4 inches. Nice main blade 'snap' opening/closing although the pen blade is a little 'lazy' on opening but snaps nice on closing. The blades show a few rub marks and the body shows handling/storage marks. His work will only become harder to obtain as the years go by and more collectors seek his work.

Excellent, unused condition.

PAULSEN. SOUTH AFRICA. "LINER-LOCK".

A well made liner-lock from another of those superb South African Makers. Excellent fit & finish with a handle scales of Warthog.

Nr. Mint condition. £315 inc. UK p&p.

KERSHAW. USA. "SCRIMSHAW WILDLIFE SET".

A lovely Set of Kershaw folders from 1982 (made for them by Kai, Japan) with American Wildlife hand scrimshawed on Bone, which has been signed by the artist. This was one of various animal themes offered by Kershaw around that time, although this particular Set appears to be the most popular as over in the States boxed Sets are being priced at $850! Unfortunately in this instance, the presentation box and the knives have long since parted company during the last 40+ years and while it would be a shame to split this Set up, I will offer these knives individually as the box is missing. The knives may show light storage 'marks'.

Excellent, unused condition. Prices include P&P.

HONCHO Model- PUMA (6-3/4 inches opened) = £175.

SOLD W.R.CASE & Sons. USA. " SLIMLINE TRAPPER -TONY BOSE '1999 YEAR KNIFE' ".

Not to be confused with the Tony Bose designs range of knives by Case, this is, in fact, the first year of the yearly Case/Bose Collaborations - which Tony personally oversees himself.

Having met Tony - arguably the World's best maker of Slipjoints - at the Blade Show, he was subsequently invited back to the Case factory, which resulted in Case then producing in 1999 the best knives ever to come out of that factory ! ( I know because I have owned Case Folders from "The Golden Age" and this surpasses them by far ! ). These folders are limited in number simply because of the high level of hand 'f&f' by a small group of the very best of Case employees, who were taught and supervised by Tony. The venture was such an outstanding success, that Case have gone on to produce a different pattern each year, again highly supervised by Tony - who actually makes the Prototype for Case to set up the tooling for production. This first model is still one of my favourite patterns of all the year knives and is of better quality than some Custom work I have seen over the years.

Mint, unused condition.
