>Found this one on the bay. you can see the difference between it and the one that Todd recently sold. Bet we'll see a dramatic $$$ difference in the fnal selling price as well eh?

Todd, what's you best guesstament on the final selling price?

Also, congrats on a great find and sale ol' buddy, and thanks for the add'l info that you provided afterwards. Got to admit that I was shocked to see what it went for and wondered why it was so "special". Now I know. Glad I'm not a knife collector.

>Looks like a pretty nice later knife but blade tip looks a bit short. I think his photos hurt the auction because of the way he took them the blade looks distorted....hard to tell what it really looks like. When you sell a knife this is not what you want as it is important that potential bidders can see the blade in profile. He has some other pretty nice marbles up for auction including a very nice saftey axe and a pretty rare canoe knife [I have one in better condition though with a lignum vitea pommel instead of antler]

I think I did well with the one I sold...though now from the advise given here I'm a thinking if I described it as a "piece of antler with pointy metal thing in the end" I might have done better!! .......Todd

Come on now Todd...

>Weren`t you paying attention?

The proper description would have been"piece of antler with metal jammed in it".

Be sure to sprinkle liberally with fine dust before taking the pic and play it down as a crude substitute for a real knfe.

Glad I could help.

PS-I`d be glad to write descriptions for you if you`ll give me a small percentage(or perhaps buy a round now and again);^)
