FS: Vintage travel kit with balle end Tech, Benchmade pocket knife

[vferdman]

I have some items for sale I do not use that may be of interest to the B&B members. All prices include shipping to CONUS and to be Paid via PayPal. I will consider shipping outside CONUS for an extra charge.

1. Vintage genuine leather travel kit. I picked this up in an antique store because it is just way cool, but I realize I will not use it. The kit contains a shoe horn, tweezers (made in Germany), nail file (made in Germany), nail clippers, a comb (handmade in Italy says "Continental" and "C62" on it), an insert holding four containers and a plastic bottle (for aftershave?). First container has an undated ball end Tech (US made, good user grade with plate loss) and three English Wilkinson Sword blades in wrappers (unknown condition). The container is designed to hold a razor and two packs of blades. Second container has a stick of shaving soap that does not smell much like anything but old fashioned soap. I lathered it and was blown away by the lather. Must be one of those infamous vintage soaps. Third container is not a container, but a lint brush (?) and the fourth container is for a toothbrush. The bottle is kind of gunky, but everything else is in pretty good shape. The toothbrush container has some plastic missing, but other containers are in great shape. The lids are all chrome plated metal and are fairly shiny. The case itself is in good shape, the brass zipper works great. There is some tearing of the vinyl lining inside, but the leather is in good shape. I am asking $24. SOLD

2. Benchmade Mini-Griptillian pocket knife. I bought this new and have all the packaging and paperwork for it. It comes with a micro-fiber cloth bag and the original cardboard blue box. I have carried this knife a few times and there is some wear on the pocket clip. I have not done any serious cutting with it and it has never been sharpened, so the edge is still factory. This is a gorgeous knife of very high quality. It is in like new condition except that pocket clip. Silky-smooth operation, solid lockup, effortless unlocking. Just an awesome knife. I found it too large for my EDC needs. It's been sitting in my dresser unused for a few years now. I am asking $60. SOLD

Sorry, I put the ruler in the first picture, but that was kind of useless :) It's 9.5" X 5" X 2".

Love those benchmade knives, our unit bought us some really nice ones when we deployed to Iraq. I don't think I will ever let it go. GLWTS!

Benchmade Knives are some of the best around. If I were in the market, this would be very interesting to me.

Great price on the Benchmade. I have one just like it with a Doug Ritter stonewashed blade. It has been my EDC for years now. If you are thinking of buying this knife it will treat you right.
