Db/shing Colab.

[Dave Barker]

This is the one that was in the gallery discussions.

I can gt more pictures if you want.

the shaft is flammed selje and has been shaped to provide a good grip on the shaft whilst still not fatiguing the hand over long time use.

The blade is EN 42 made by out very own Shing and has a full flat grind, it is very very sharp. I believe it has been hand rubbed to 1200 grit.

The sheath is German rawhide and is wet formed to the knife, I have coloured the heath tan in an attempt to match the colour of the shaft as you can see in the second picture.

if you are interested i may be able to change the colour of it....

here are some pics



and in sheath




I would like to add that the ricasso on this blades was made purposely large, it is properly fitted. The total ricasso size was 20-25 mm IIRC. SHing do you remember.

I am asking £90 blank inclusive of post and packaging.

Any takers?

Thanks for looking guys.

Is it really that bad that no one will even tell me to Bugger off?
:crying:

[Otto]

Bugger off!

[Dave Barker]

Bugger off!

Thank you otto. right now someone has siad that... whos gonna buy the knife!

[Dave Barker]

May i ask if people think the knife is overpriced?

[JKD]

I think you did the right thing posting the knife at a high price, however I also think that you should drop the price a little bit. You might just be a little bit over the top there. :o
It's always really hard to set a price to a knife concidering the time and effort we all put in to our knives. Good luck with your sales!

PS. Great looking blade! DS.

I dont think so Dave. JKD, isnt florinox akma a kit ?

[dtalbot]

Price seems reasonable, just no spare cash. Is it just me or has the auction slowed down the straight sales bit of the site?

I think so. People wait til the same thing comes up in the auctions. This one is not going there.
ever!

Yes, it's a kit. But you can do a whole lot with it. I personly love the design with the thumb wheel.

I think that cash is in short supply for everyone at the moment, maybe it's paying the credit card bills from the summer holidays?

There are a few nice knives for sale at the moment (including this one) that I keep looking at wishing I had a little more spare cash around to buy them with.

Perhaps I could buy next month, but then there will be other nice things for sale

That is some really nice work. I really like the handle and sheath.

Hi guys,
I own a Dave Barker knife and I`m very happy with it! Very well made sharp as a razor and with 1st class sheath.
This knife shown above looks like it`s worth every single penny and though I prefer fulltangs I`d not hesitate to buy it if I had the cash right now.
Guess the main problem in selling "luxery"goods is that many people haven`t that cash they had before the euro currency was established!? At least in Germany.
Anyway this knife will sell within the next few days for sure.

Greets,
Wolfgang

PS
I`m looking forward to seing your very first fuller Dave! :240:

NEVER NEVER NEVERRRRRRRR!!!!!

Still here!

Price stays the same. the knife includes a 14 day money back guarentee as long as it is a workmanship fault and the knife is not destroyed beyond belief.

this knife willno go sdown in price any more.

thanks
