Sorry, i meant to respond to this add. If the 375 is still available, I could use it. And would appreciate it very much.
357, not 375
Yes, available

I’m the original owner of both of these Von Gruff knives.
Both have opened a few packages and such but that’s about it. I have not sharpened them but I know I used the honing steel on the Heavy Hunter (can’t remember for sure if I used it on the EDC).
I want to say I’ve carried the Heavy Hunter a few times. It’s sheath has a significant chunk missing, probably from carelessly cramming it in the safe..
I think the EDC has only been on my belt once because the horizontal sheath has so little retention it’s not safe to carry…. Also, the stitching on the loop of the horizontal sheath is a little loose, allowing the loop to move freely…
The buffalo horn bolsters on the Heavy Hunter have slightly separated from the knife but seem secure. They may last forever and they may not. I’m not sure what it’s from but it may have something to do with me leaving it in my truck in sub-zero temps a while ago.. I’ve tried to capture the daylight between the bolsters and knife in my pictures.
Handle materials on both were upgrades. Red gum is native to Australia IIRC.
The grinds aren’t perfect and there’s a blemish or two. See pictures below.

Beautiful knives.
You posted these on the wrong thread or you are just bragging?
Went well with my morning coffee though. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Leaving for work. Will post in a bit. Both knives are free (separately) to good homes in the spirit of pay-it-forward.

Good morning. If there’s one left I’d like to have it please.
I would like to claim the smaller one if it's still available and you could ship to Canada.
I will cover the cost of shipping of course.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
