I recently bought a large collection of knives, all from the same owner, and have decided not to keep these three. Nothing wrong with them - the motifs are just not my thing. I know they are all three low production and hope they will be welcome additions to someone's collection here
The original owner did not keep any boxes or other accessories with any of his knives. He had a bunch of Benchmades and threw away the clips that came with them, even though most of his knives wound up being unused/uncarried. So, I'm sorry I don't have the complete package for these. I collect knives that I use, so I'm not going to be able to grade these like a true knife collector. Hopefully my pictures will suffice to answer any questions you may have. If not, please ask.
I'm not all that interested in trades. I might trade for a user-grade Randall Model 25 or possibly a used Randall Model 1 (I'm looking for one of each, but more for the 25 at this point to use in deer camp this season).
As I stated in the intro forum, I've been a user of Gunbroker for many years under the handle "geologist" and have perfect feedback there. Also am on ebay under "cubrock" and have perfect feedback there, too. Feel free to check me out.
My prices are firm, but I will take $5 off per knife if multiples are purchases for saved shipping costs. I'm trying to price them to sell and hope I succeed in getting quick sales while giving the buyer(s) a good deal.
Please email me with any questions. Thanks so much!

1. Brass Maze. I believe this one has titanium inserts. Doesn't look like copper to me. Very nice knife and I don't believe he ever carried or sharpened it. Has only a few tiny marks on it that may have come on it when new. The bevel on the edge is ground a bit coarsely, but I believe it came that way when he bought it. Opens extremely fast. If anything, the spring is a bit too strong. Locks up tightly with only a bit of side to side play. $235 postpaid in the US.

2. Copper Drifter. Tarnished, but in excellent condition. Opens very fast. Has a bit more blade play than the other two, but I don't know how tight this model came to begin with. Again, I don't believe he ever used the knife, but he definitely handled it, given the tarnish. $235 ppd in the US.

3. Brass Ass (Assassin). Probably the best knife of the three. Opens extremely fast and locks up with no play in the blade. Lightly tarnished body with some tiny marks in the brass that may or may not have come like that new. The Dalton Combat Knives logo is present, but not very evident under regular light. Hit it with bright light (like LED) and it pops right out. Not sure what the deal is there. Nice little knife. $265 ppd in the US.
