dha keris talibon and choora for sale
First off,I took what I wanted for these knives and added 5-6 bucks for shipping and insurance for contiguous USA so shipping is included{except for outside 48 states},secondly I like selling stuff to other forum members because it I feel this is a much more friendly and honorable group of people than youll find on ebay or else where,so if any of these sell and you have a problem with your knife keep in mind Im just a fellow collector and will understand,the bottom line is if you want your money back,or want to pay using a check,feel free.
