Hello to my BF’ers worldwide,
This thread is for those of you that like to put your blades to work, and don’t mind the blemishes and imperfections that come from use. Please allow me to offer a couple great knives that have already served well, and still have plenty of life left. Both would likely be considered quite collectible if they were in mint condition, but they’re not. They are users, and are intended to be treated as such.
Spyderco Stretch Super Blue - User. I carried and used this one quite a bit, then sold it to a friend and fellow forum member who also carried and used it occasionally for a couple months. He kindly sold it back to me at a lower price because he wasn’t carrying it enough to justify keeping it. Now, I’m parting with it for the same reason. Since letting it go the first time, I’ve worked a couple new knives in to my rotation, and don’t have a spot for this one. Ideally, this knife will go to someone who is a fan of the stretch platform and has been wanting to see how one in Super Blue performs. It looks beat up. The cladding is scratched up all over, along with the clip, the exposed SB core near the edge has developed an obvious patina, and it’s been sharpened. Centering is about as good as I’ve seen on frn spydies. Includes original box and edge-u-cation sheet. Since my friend was kind enough to sell it back to me at a reduced price, I’m going to pay it forward, and reduce the price below what I paid him in the hopes that somebody who’ll get some good use out of it can grab it up.

ZT 0393BLKGRN - User. This came to me in trade with another forum member whom I regard very highly. While it shows visual signs of carry and use, this knife flips better than any other ZT or hinderer I’ve personally handled. Try it out, and see why CTS-204P is so highly regarded, and why Hinderer’s Eklipse design is so well received. Like the other knife listed in this thread, I love this beauty, but want it to go to someone who’ll be able to give it some good pocket time. A few scratches/marks on the blade, clip, pivot (see pics), and a very tiny chip in the edge that Wont even show up in the photos. The edge has been sharpened, and is still very sharp. Centering slightly favors presentation side. Locks up solid, at around 45%.
No original box or papers with this one, just a badass knife.

*If you’re into cool sh*t that’s highly collectible, I invite you to please check out my thread in the gear & gadgets subforum, and be the only one on your block with a Boring Company not-a-Flamethrower!
Thanks, as always, for your time, and apologies for the length of this one, but both these blades mean a lot to me. Have a great Sunday everyone!
