Up for auction. Fallkniven F1 and a Stromeng Lekku. Ends 8pm 30th June 2012

[JonnyP]

I am selling these items as a private seller and this sale is in no way the responsibility of NaturalBushcraft.co.uk or any of its moderators.

I don't always know how much to ask when selling something, and this is one of those times, so I will let you guys decide.

If you want to bid, please look at how much the last person bid, and bid by more.
Auction ends 8pm on the 30th June 2012. Any bids after that time on the forum clock will not count..
Postage will be added onto the final price and I will only post recorded delivery.
Payment can be by check, cash on collection, or paypal made out to me as a gift. Knives will be posted after payment has cleared.
Over 18's only.
Any questions, or more pics needed etc, please ask, and good luck with your bidding.. :0)

First up is a 7 inch Knivsmed Stromeng Lekku

Small dink in blade near tip, but otherwise in good used condition. Has a secondary bevel, and will come to you sharp.

Next is a Fallkniven F1.
This comes with a plastic (kydex ?) and leather sheath. This has been my favourite Bushcraft knife, but as I am doing more wood carving these days, I am using it less. Very solid and dependable knife this, that is very easy to keep a good edge.. Comes in good used condition and will come to you sharp.

I have just sharpened and honed the blades. I also oiled the Leuku's handle and polished up both blades, and waxed the Leuku's sheath.
Here are some better quality photo's.

I am also adding to the auction (to end on the same time as the other blades) a FGYT (Dorset Woodland Blades) spoon knife. I bought it as a blank, and have handled it myself using some turned Chestnut burr. Its been oiled, and the blade sharpened.

Spoon knife....£10

[Hushwing]

I don't think anyone has been offended... but just in case...
I hope no-one thought I was being insulting, by putting in my level of bid on the spoon knife, on the quality of the work - I can see it (both blade and handle). Put in an offer based on what I could afford and not knowing the sales price for this particular item. So I'm glad it's going for more and hopefully the same for the knives as well (both are good knives by all accounts and my lottery win will get me one at some time!). I just know my financial limits and DO love a bargain like anyone else ;)

Just noticed the forum clock is out. I did state it would end by the forum clock, so I better let it run until 8pm by the forum clock..

[rossbird]

Bloody hell the suspense is killing me:confused2:

Lol.. Sorry about that. I really did not know the forum clock was out. But I have to go by what I originally said.

[rossbird]

Like your attention to detail Jonny:)
I can sweat a little longer!

Mine to Jonny.

[Martin]

Well, there's something in your settings that's not quite right I'm afraid. I can't remember exactly what the problem is, but it's not a new one. If I may adjudicate on this one, the last post before 8.00 pm was AdrianRose at 7.59 and, as there were no bids after his there is no controversy.

Martin

[JonnyP]

Mine to Jonny.

Just opened my last bottle of cider with my F1.. I am gonna miss that knife.

[rossbird]

I like a serrated edge!!

You can set the timezone in the settings yourself. So perhaps JonnyP settings are set to the wrong timezone...
And on top of that if his clock is set to the wrong timezone, there is also a setting for daylight saving time...
My time is GMT + 1 but in the summer we also have DST so right now its GMT + 2
So I am writing this around 10PM forum time, as I have set it. That is also the actual time where I am..

[JonnyP]

I like a serrated edge!!
Lol.. You are getting a very sharp knife with no serrations..

What are you going to use now those three are gone Jonny? :)

Oh, I have a few knives left to play with.. I have my original puuko, my first Bushcraft knife.

It was the puuko. A stainless steel 4" blade made by someone who's name begins with J, but the mark has rubbed off on the blade and I cannot remember.. Very good knife though.. I also have 2 Mora clippers and all my carving set..

[AdrianRose]

Ok I'm so confused now! Did I win the spoon knife please?

:)

Ade

[rossbird]

Mora knives are v good and opinels are good blades, but that thing you found in the woods, should go in the bin me thinks.. ;0)

[rosseveritt]

Lol! I think you may be right there. It is a bit 'gimmicky' but I have sharpened it and it is good for carving, I'll see how long it stays sharp. :)

[JonnyP]

Just opened my last cider with the Leuku..

Glad it finally turned up :0)
Thats an awesome blade you have there. Best all round bushcraft knife out there imo.
Keep sharp by stropping on leather n autosol or proper honing compound. It holds an amazing edge and does not need sharpening very often.

[rossbird]

Cheers Jonny, had a little "play" last nite...very impressed.
