Alrighty folks, a few on the chopping block to cover acquiring new ones. You know how it goes. Some of my “thought I’d carry more than I do’s.”
Ground rules, these are available to paying BF Members with private messaging capability only.
NONE of these knives are represented as BNIB or LNIB and are “as-is” with any flaws/concerns/disclosures noted to the best of my ability, and priced accordingly for (hopefully) quick sale. Please see photos AND descriptions to decide if any of these are right for you before you commit to buy.
I have been here since 2016, and believe I had 47 positive transactions with no neutral or negatives before the feedback feature went away.
I WILL NOT contact you outside of the Forum via email or any other application, so you must have private messaging here for us to do business. Protect yourself from scammers and DO NOT post your email or any other contact information in this thread. IF YOU RECEIVE AN EMAIL OR TEXT FROM SOMEBODY CLAIMING TO BE ME REGARDING ANYTHING FOR SALE HERE, IT IS NOT ME. I will only contact you via PM here.
US sales only. I accept PayPal, and would prefer F&F at these low prices since I’m including USPS shipping.
Not looking for any trades at the moment.
—————————-
So here’s what I got:
1) Cold Steel AD10, S35vn and black G10. Excellent condition. I do believe I touched this up on Spyderco Sharpmaker, so edge is not factory anymore, but not reprofiled. Action is very smooth. I bought this as a backup to my primary green one, and may have carried it a couple times. Includes lefty clip. Box is pretty squished, but included. No, this is not the coveted original hollow ground version, but a flat ground.$75 shipped SOLD
2) CS SR1, S35vn and OD G10. Here’s a thick beater boi. I have messed with this one a bit, but still can’t seem to warm up to it. Edge has been reprofiled using Worksharp Precision Adjust to 20dps, and is sharp but just ok (suuuuuch thick blade stock). I sanded the G10 under the clip on one side (right hand carry) lightly to ease pocket shredding. I also think I replaced the factory teflon/phosphor bronze washers with new phosphor bronze (only) washers to improve centering which was off from factory. I think that’s it. Box is thrashed, but included. It could be a decent beater for someone at$50 shipped SOLD
3) CS Spartan. AUS10a plain edge. This one is in excellent condition. No cut, factory edge. Maybe carried once or twice. I did lightly smooth the interior edges of the grip with super fine sandpaper, as they came very sharp. Includes lefty clip. Box is actually in pretty good shape. Wanted to like it, but find myself ignoring it for others.$60 shipped. Price drop to $50!
4) ABW Model 1, S35vn and black G10 liner lock flipper. I believe this is a V5, as it only has one clip screw, but I’m not absolutely certain. Nice knife, smaller than I like. Flips pretty good, but it does slightly squeak when opening/closing, which I think may be the detent ball on the tumbled finish. No box, but zippered pouch included.$75 shipped SOLD
5) Emerson Mini Commander. Standoff version, black blade engraved with Ernie Emerson signature. Full disclosure, I did try to lay the edge back on this one a few years back, and it wasn’t my finest work. It’s sharp, but definitely far from factory. If you’re looking for mint, this ain’t it. Would be a good user or parts donor. Maybe dipping your toes in the Emerson pool, but don’t want to commit to retail or collector prices?$60 shipped. SOLD
Pictures to follow. Please stand by.
