Hi everyone!
I've got a couple unused shelf queens to trade for new Kershaws.
The first is the nicest knife I own. First off it is marked "Tarpley". It is forged antique mining cable damascus. The blade is around 4 1/2" long with about 4" of cutting edge. Overall it is around 8 1/2" long. The handle is some form of burl. If I had to GUESS I would say stabilized walnut burl. The butt is marked "101". It was given to me new as a gift without a sheath. I have had it for about ten years, and it has always resided on the top shelf of my knife cabinet. It has never been used nor worn, I never even checked the edge on paper. Here are some pictures of the Tarpley.

The next knife is a nice little Siggma Caper L6 knife. It is hand made by Jim Sigg from an antique saw mill blade. The handle (if I remember correctly) is cocobolo. The blade is hand stamped with "Siggma" on one side, and a hand stamped fishing fly on the reverse. It is stamped "090201" on the spine. The blade is 2 3/4" long with an overall length of around 6". This one comes with a sheath. The only use that this knife has seen was to test the edge on a piece of paper just once. It has never been worn nor used.
Here are the Siggma Caper Pics.

What I am interested in is primarily, but not necessarily, Kershaw flipping knives made from 13C26 or better. For example for the Siggma I would like a Composite JYDII and a JYD, or a couple regular JYDIIs, or similar. For the Tarpley damascus I would would like either multiples (numbers are negotiable) of lesser expensive Kershaws (example 5 JYDs, or 5 Skylines, or 4 regular JYDIIs, or 3 composite JYDIIs, or 4 Cyclones, or mixed and matched) or something unique like the SG2/titanium JYDII and a regular JYDII. I'm not to picky on the knife model just as long as it is either the American made Kershaws or the Japanese made Lahars, so you can kinda get an idea what I'm interested in. I would like multiples of lesser Kershaws instead of say the ZT line simply because I want to give some away as gifts. Other Shaws I'm interest in are the Shallots, NRGs, Needs Work, Lahar, and certain Leeks.
If interested just drop and me an offer and we can parleyI will consider any Kershaw offers as long as they are NIB. Even a ZT-200 plus one lesser expensive (cyclone, JYDII, OCC leek, Damascus Leek, or anything else) for the Tarpley. If you want to see more pictures just let me know and I will do my best to photograph what you would like to see.
Thanks.

If you are interested in both, I will be willing to negotiate on the above numbers. Also if you take both, I would do a partial trade for freeze dried foods (Mountain House, Honeyville, Etc).
