SOLD Knife Addict Complete Kit

[Bico Doce]

Hey KKF,

I put together a kit I would like to sell as a package. This has a bit of everything and I've tried to add some real gems that Ive acquired over the months. If there are not any takers I'll break this set up but I want to give it some time.

Asking $8250 (paypal g&s) shipped CONUS (international please dm)
-> discount for wire/paypal f&f: $8000

EDIT: realizing that $8k at once is a lot to ask of even the most ardent collector I took an offer for 4 out of the 9 knives. The remaining knives in the set are:

Antzenberger, Jiro, Kamon S Grind, Kono FM, Raquin

Asking $4490 (paypal g&s) shipped CONUS (international please dm)
-> discount for wire/paypal f&f: $4325

EDIT #2: I broke down this set selling off another 2. All remaining knives are up for grabs! Prices below reflect shipped/insured in CONUS (international subtract $25 and you cover the rest must ship UPS or DHL).

Knife	Paypal G&S	Wire/Paypal F&F
Jiro #216	$885	$850
Kamon S Grind	$910	$875
Raquin KT	$725	$700

Here are the knives with all of their details. Thanks for looking!

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeessshhhh

 

[Ikonaka]

Good God. I def can't afford this, but I'd fight someone for that Fuji haha. Glws!

 

[xsmx13]

HOLY HELL

 

[Hz_zzzzzz]

Great collection. Hope you can sell the Jiro to me separately though.

 

[mack]

Oh my....

Can't imagine the tons of pms you get right now. Like: If you decide to sell seperately, I take this and that...

Best, Mack.

 

[NotAddictedYet]

So we just just doing our own massdrop now?

what a package. Will make someone very, very happy.

 

[Einco]

this is a bonkers collection!

 

[Delat]

Holy crap! I was thinking, “omg what a freaking deal”.

Then I scrolled to the next post and realized I was only halfway through all the knives

[daddy yo yo]

Customs and tax during import to the EU would add another 2.5k. That alone is enough to make me walk away. But the fact that I even calculated this shows how deep down that rabbit hole I am…

160 $50 tickets - winner take all lottery!

 

[birdsfan]

Some REAL beauties in that package! Amazing! I should also add that Bico Doce is a great man to do business with. He buys outstanding knives, is completely disclosive of their condition and follows though to make sure a transaction goes smoothly.

@Bico Doce is a madman in the best way possible. Buy with confidence and then retire from the knife game.

 

[birdsfan]

Love that jam!

 

[hendrix]

If you’re selling these beauties, what are you keeping?!?!

 

[javi_rome]

Wow! Speechless, you the man @Bico Doce

 

[Bico Doce]

I kept some good ones for myself…

Lighting wasn’t the best but you get a feel for the keepers. Of course there are others coming in and new ones that are “undecided” at the moment but ones below, I’ll hold on to for a while.

Left to right:
Xerxes, Tsourkan, Nine, Kipping, Bazes, Catcheside, Heldqvist, Yanick, HF x 2, Milan x 2, Devin Thomas x 2, Markin

How do you like that Markin? I've been curious about it since he posted.

 

[ZeeVee]

I see no Kamons in the keeper lineup... that surprises me a little. Any reason?

Speechless
