BST question

[childermass]

I don’t know where to put this, so mods please feel free to move this into the appropriate sub forum.

I have a question:
I recently inherited my uncles collection of folding knives. There is some pretty decent french and italian stuff and also some tactical and cheaper folders like Opinel.
I already picked some that I want to keep and am looking for a place to sell the rest. Am I allowed to put them on BST? I would likely make one or two big threads for this, maybe also some giveaways.

All knives can be listed in the BST knife section, not just kitchen knives.

 

[childermass]

Thanks, that’s all I wanted to know.
I will have to do some research for the prices and then there will be a big sale.

 

[childermass]

In case anyone is curious about what will be coming (excuse the s****y lightning)

At least you wont need to take choil shots

 

[childermass]

That’s right, but I‘m afraid even without choil shots this will be a lot of work [emoji15]

You could try listing them in lots of say 4-5 folders for a nice little starter collection. Those that don't sell try separately. Ebay might be another option with a wider audience for folders. There are also pocket knife specific forums too.

 

[childermass]

The batches are an interesting idea, definitely something to think about.
I want to avoid ebay because I don't like the concept of paying 10% of the selling price for the hosting of a website.

The switchblades ( legal for me) and 2 opinels please

This is not a sales thread yet, just a teaser

Funny how this little thing always gets the most attention [emoji4]

Nothing special I guess, looking like something like a souvenir.

Made in Taiwan

The handle is some kind of rubber.

 

[dwalker]

List em already, I would possibly be interested in some of the wood handled fixed blades.

 

[bkultra]

Can we save it for the sales thread? I've been letting this go, but don't want it to get out of hand.

Great Idea, this already starts to get going and I would like this to be done properly.

 

[childermass]

I will start listing them tomorrow, got to check some prices to get started. Will post new ones over the next few days.

The tanto looks like a cold steel knife with the kraton handle- or a knock off. The finish looks a little rough.

 

[bkultra]

Cold steel is the knock off. Copy all sorts of stuff to market to mall ninjas.

 

[Jkts]

Cold steel produces a lot of cheap mall blades (swords, machetes, etc) but I thought the original CS tantos go back to the eighties with the advertisements that you could put it through a car door and still shave the hair on your arm. Were they copying someone back then?

 

[KenHash]

Knock off of an old Cold Steel Tanto. The earliest were made in the US, then Japan until 2016 when Taiwan production started.

 

[childermass]

Did some research and found the knife you are referring to. Pretty sure this is a knock off, as all original cold steel knives I found have the name of the knife model written on it.
Anyway, this one is gone already, sorry.
I will list the fixed blades tonight, also some of the Laguiole and the Vendetta knives.

Managed to take pictures of the fixed blades in the morning so they are already up on BST: Mixed fixed blade hunting/outdoor knives
