Thread: Blades for sale

  1. #1

    Default Blades for sale

    I've got a few BCUK marked blades here, looking for a new home
    The small blades are made from my preferred 1.1% steel (the large stick tang at bottom is CS80CrV2) and are selectively tempered, so you can file/grind/drill the tangs and blade spines quite happily. The prices include UK postage and PayPal fees.



    Top Full tang: £SPF
    Bottom Full tang: £40
    Top Stick Tang: £35
    Bottom Stick tang: £40 SOLD

    Thanks for looking folks

    hi,

    varies along the length, the width and the blade I think the ones above range from about 3.5mm and 5mm at the thickest. All are forged to full flat and end about 1.5mm behind the edge.

    Are these ground and ready to use or do they need more work?

    I am interested in the remaining full tang blade if it is available.

    Lastly, are your open to any offers? :-)

    Hi Dave, is the 2nd full tang up for grabs?

    hi,

    I'm afraid its gone. I think the stick tang one up from bottom is around but I'll have to double check that one. I've got some other blades knocking about, what sort of thing are you looking for?

    darn, missed out on the top full tang. if you ever have a full tang of similar rounded blade shape as the top full tang i would be ever so gratefull if you could maybe give me a heads up or is that too cheeky?

    I'll have a look at what is around. To be honest I make a bunch pf blades and then put them up for sale, I don't give much thought to the design unless it is a request. Normally I'll only have a paritcular blade sitting around for a few months at most, so a post from early last year is (hopefully) nmot likely to be fruitful

    I'm teaching next week, but will see about making some BCUK blades after that folks. With special emphasis on 3-4" drop and spearpoint full tang blades

    Aaron, as decorum points out you will have to get one of you "responsible adults" to buy you a prezzy. And I'm afraid asking me to let you know when I have made something is like asking a goldfish to tell you what he had for lunch when he was a fry! I often forget what I had for breakfast on the same day

    That could also leave Dave in a legal bind ~ you've approached to make the purchase. It doesn't matter that the money comes from elsewhere. The best way forward might be to get your Dad to make contact with Dave through his website (in his sig link at the bottom of all his posts).

    It's unfortunate, but it doesn't matter how mature or responsible you are, you're under 18 and trying to buy a knife from Dave (irrespective of parental knowledge and / or approval) could land Dave with (expensive) legal issues.


    I hope you do get sorted ~ he makes some cracking stuff (including my EDC)

    thanks fot that decorum! i'll do that if i want to buy a blade in the future. i see your point; it could put dave in a pickle, so better safe than sorry. it's the same wih "my dad's airgun" he bought it from the gunshop with my money after i chose it in the gunshop, and even though i use it exclusively, technically it is my dad's airgun.
