Long story guy's, but I am trying to raise some cash (Hopefully quickly) for a project that has come up, so am looking to sell a few items.

First up is an iconic Wilkinson Sword Dartmoor survival knife, anyone of a certain vintage will remember these from the glossy ads in "Survival Aids" and "Swat" magazines of the 80s. Designed by Mr Ray Mears and is the "Newer" shape. I won't bore everyone to death with the details and spec as there's loads of info and reviews online about these. I myself have personally been looking for one of these for over 40 years (Yep, 40 years!) But being half Scottish I wasn't going to pay over £500. But after being to talks with the guy who brought the whole stock when Wilkinson Sword went under, I was offered this knife at a discounted rate due to the following.

No box, no paperwork, no survival kit (Although the tube and compass are included) And the survival kit contents can be brought off the website should anyone want them. And there are a couple of small and light scratches on the blade, which were of course there when I got her straight from the sole supplier. 

Detailed photos and further info available on request, asking just £350, and that includes recorded postage out to the buyer. 

Next up is a MOD survival knife. Date of 1983 and crows foot stamped on the wooden handle, which has been sanded down to make it more user friendly, and then I resealed the grain. Someone had blued the blade at some point and has made a pretty good job of it, and I have replaced the leather original case with a MTP Molly one, I will include the original case if I can find it (If you have ever seen my garage/workshop you would understand!) I will sell this for £50 if (And only if) it is brought at the same time by the same buyer for the above item.  This includes recorded postaged out to the buyer, further photos and info available on request. 

S&W Kukri, a really well thought out, designed and made knife, very useful for building hides or clearing the ground, has been lightly used but is still in great condition. Is still factory sharp and not resharpened. Asking £30, again only if sold to the buyer of the above, photos and info on request. 

I have 2 X Bushcraft knives for sale, both handmade by independent makers, classic bushcrafter designs, the Bear Blades one has a 4.5 inch full tang blade, which  I sent away to be professionally sharpened, comes with a thick leather dangler style case. The other I can,t see a makers name, but there is a Stags head stamp on the blade and carry case, which is still  razor sharp and not used or even carried in the field, basically I brought it on a bit of a whim, then put it away ever since and forgot about her! 3.5 inch full lenght tang blade and comes with a nice black leather case. I believe I paid £160 for the Bear and £150 for the Stag. Both in perfect condition, asking £200 for both, if brought by the same buyer and same time as the above. Both knives are hand made by small independent makers and are well worth the asking price.  

If all the above is picked up in person, I reduce the price from £630 to £600, and will include a few other odds and ends, Copy of a SF commando dagger, few small Opinels, a Mora, a Whitey and Co boot dagger etc FOC. I am in the Portsmouth area. Extra items are only offered FOC if picked up in person. 

Again, NOT looking to split, detailed photos of anything and everything on request to serious buyers. 

Many thanks for reading guys.

Andy.
