Got this in a trade recently and it's just too thin for me. I like a heavier, thicker handled knife. AFAIK it hasn't cut anything and looks as new.
Not looking for anything specific so any offers welcome.

The Orca is a frame-lock folder that shouts BOLD in capital letters. There seems to be a current trend of wider folding knives than has been customary, with both large and small as well as "New" and traditional designs. If you have looked at my Texas Ranger traditional folders, you know that I like BOLD. In the Orca, I have chosen to make a folder in the new style. The framelock handle measures 4-1/2" in length and just over 1-1/2" wide. The shape is composed of curves - front, back and both ends, including the blade - that give a hint to how I came to choose the name. The 3-1/2" blade of 8Cr13MoV at 57-59 Rc. measures 1-1/2" wide, not counting the flipper.
An important feature is the Hinderer Stabilizer. This device has the important job of preventing excessive movement of the locking bar, keeping it always in the intended position.
Includes two clips - a deep pocket clip and a standard clip - that leave about 1/2" to 3/4" above the pocket. Can be carried either tip up or tip down. The handle is G10 without a liner on the obverse side and stainless steel on the reverse side. Thumb studs are provided to allow opening with either hand for those folks that do not wish to use the faster, easier flipper. Made in China.
