YANCY, AF (Applegate Fairbairns) Vintage knife blank: Rex Applegate commissioned. RARE. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ONE?
My husband (now deceased) purchased this YANCY AF knife as you see it. There was no handle, but I have included in this auction a BLACKJACK handle in PRISTINE, uncracked CONDITION.
Now the blade; It is a Yancy blade that appears to be, and was sold to us, as a "leftover" from Yancy that was ALMOST completely scrubbed of the "AF" and "Yancy". BUT...if you ...take a magnifying glass, the name "YANCY" still appears!
BLADE HAS NEVER BEEN SHARPENED.
Rex sought another AF knife maker (Turned out to be Bill Harsey, I believe) after Yancy had supplied him with AF knives and from the literature, Rex found the YANCY knives to pricey to sell at the time. Now it stands to reason and verified from several sources, that Yancy had blades already to be completed at the time Rex withdrew his decision to continue with Yancy made knives...I believe THIS IS ONE OF YANCY'S LEFTOVER BLADES DUE TO THE INCOMPLETE SCRUBBING OF "YANCY" ON THE RICASSO.
It cannot be seen for the purposes of this auction, but it is guaranteed, with a complete refund and shipping reimbursed, to be there and the buyer will see it for himself!
It comes with the Shoemaker sheath, itself very sought after! The sheath alone is valued between $200-300 if you can find one. I will not part out the sheath alone, sorry.
SHIPPING is $15 and will be sent securely packed and expedited.
Good luck bidding, and contact me with any questions.
