Purchasing, PayPal Details, Shipping & Condition Legend for Private Sale Items
I am selling these with a family member. If you know me personally, you are welcome to ask if I am able to make arrangements to bring the item/s to the office for you to purchase. In these instances, I can accept cash (but am unable to use the business credit card machine). Please refresh this page for the most up-to-date info.

Shipping
Buyer responsible for Shipping. Shipping through USPS whenever possible, within 5 business days of the money clearing the account. We will stay in close communication during the process and are located in Houston, Texas.
We have been working for many months to put these pages together. Descriptions, conditions and pictures are to the best of our ability, with the goal being for you to receive items which are "as-good-as" and hopefully "better-than" the description we offer. Any omissions or errors are unintentional. Please keep in mind that we are not a blade business, all sales are final and we don't offer refunds. However, if you do happen to purchase an item and have a concern, we would like for you to contact us so we can learn more and determine if there is anything that we need to do differently. Always consult your local and state laws before purchasing. We are unable to help you with packages seized by customs or other agencies.
If you are interested in an item being shipped internationally, you are welcome to ask if we can accommodate your request.
Must be 18 years or older to purchase any knives and comply with the state laws on possession where you reside.
Consigned Purchases - Please contact the company the item is consigned at.
1) Arizona Custom Knives
Arizona Custom Knives, a trusted name in knife consignment, has determined pricing for us, and consigned a good portion of our New & Like New fixed and folding blade knife collection. Many of these are the Cold Steel brand. I have also linked each knife to its individual landing page on the Arizona website, so that you can read more specific information.
All purchases of the knives on this page, are completed on the Arizona Custom Knives website. Due to being consigned, you will receive our items directly from them.
They accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express, money orders, cashier's checks or personal checks made out to Arizona Custom Knives, bank transfer and Western Union wire. They also provide layaway. An additional option is "Make An Offer", for those who have purchased from the company previously (this is instituted by contacting them directly).
Maida's Belts & Buckles (just down the street from my Houston office) has consigned our pocket knives and medium size hunting knives along with additional items (belt buckles, Native American cuff style watch bands, bolo ties, turquoise rings, etc.). They are collectively known as the "Kilpatrick Collection". Please speak with Jason Maida (or one of his staff) if you want to see or know more about these items.

Condition Legend
Some of these knives are in "used" condition and labeled to the best of my ability. Cleaning may be required.
All Cold Steel blades were bought before the company was sold in 2020.
Our Condition Legend:
New, Like New & Very Good: These three conditions are self explanatory.
Good: No noticeable issues to us.
Light: Lightly used; knife blade minimal wear with no chipping.
Fair: Moderately used; scuffing, knife blade minimal wear with no noted chipping.
Wear: Noticeable wear or may have obvious scuffing, tarnish, rust or chip in blade.
Modifications: Modifications have been made to the knife (usually the blade has been reworked to a new shape, broken belt or pocket clip, missing thumb stud or other pieces, grip modified).
