The terms of sale:
For the sake of bandwidth and thread size, I have 1-2 pictures per knife and links to photobucket albums for each knife with more pictures, including centering and lockup shots.

Times are tough! I got hit with a $2200 IRS bill from when I filed two years ago, I need a car that doesnt literally die in the middle of a turn, and I also really want a Combat Troodon now that Ive handled a Ultratech! I have, of course, listed those in order of increasing priority.
TRADES:
The only trade Im interested in is for a S/E PE Combat Troodon. Blade style, steel, handle color, blade finish, etc - not super important. I like the tanto and the regular blade style, the all-black, all-satin, all-stonewashed, and two-tone finishes all look good in my eyes, and the handle color is really just not an issue for me. I dont care if its flourescent pink. I want your SE PE CT.
As always, no deal is done until you are happy. I do my best to describe everything accurately, but if you find you disagree, well work something out.

Benchmade 630 Skirmish w/ Blackwood logo - $250 net friends and family / $258.75 goods and services SOLD
Full album HERE
This knife is really big and really nice. Really big. Really nice. This was sold to me under the pretense that it had been a display model, and that seems about right. The handle shows a number of snail trails, but the pocket clip and blade are all but pristine. The blade doesnt show any signs of use that I can detect - no lines, etc. There does seem to be a little edge flattening in a few spots - likely from inexpert handling as a display model - and the price reflects these imperfections.
The anodized accents are gorgeous, the pivot action is incredible. No, really, its fantastic. The detent is amazing too - a really satisfying tic sound that just sucks the blade right into the handle. Super nice. Its pretty well-centered but not perfect - unlike the lockup, which actually IS perfect.
Amazingly, this comes with the box, baggie, and papers, and this is probably also the cheapest youll ever ever ever see a full-size 630 ever again. If it doesnt sell pretty quickly here, Ill just toss it to the eBay wolves for $350 and whistle a merry tune as it sells instantly because people on eBay are dumb and pay too much.
Spyderco Knifeworks Exclusive Yojimbo II S90V / Carbon Fiber CC#012 - $180.25 net friends and family / $186.56 goods and services SOLD
Full album HERE
Just trying to get back what I put into it. I picked it up from someone on USN (IIRC) who had basically just stropped the edge and put it back in the box. I carried it three times, used it twice on plastic wrap, and have also trimmed my cuticles with it. Hard use, I know! Anyway, I cant seem to get used to the compression lock, so Im keeping my Hogue and selling this. I wish knifeworks would have sold out already, as I know this is going to be kind of a hard sell for a non-mint knife thats available BNIB for just $20 more, but, hey, this one is $20 less - shipped - and is mechanically perfect! Centered with solid lockup! Box and papers! Ill even hand-write a little thank-you note if you want! Smooth drops-closed pivot action! At least you know what youre getting for sure if you buy this one.
Zero Tolerance 0560 BNIB W/ discontinued Schmuckatelli Zero Tolerance Blue/Gray Lanyard + Bead - $170 net / 175.95 SOLD
Full album HERE
Brand new in box, cosmetically off-center to the left when closed, and mechanically perfect otherwise. The bead has been discontinued for a while now, and goes perfectly with this knife! Neither have been carried or used - theyve just been sitting around my apartment, like my roommate - but this knife will probably be better at paying rent.
Hogue EX-01 3.5 Aluminum Tanto - $115 net / $119.03 goods SOLD
Full album HERE
Brand new in box! I prefer my 4" Aluminum tanto EX-01 because the handle is all beat to crap. It's got soul. This one is all minty fresh and I don't need a 3.5" tanto when I have a 4"! Away it goes to a home that will appreciate the smooth pivot action, great lockup, and incredible attention to detail Hogue crams into these. It's really impressive. It's also why I'm selling basically everything but my 4" Hogue.
Spyderco Lionspy BNIP - $210 net ("friends and family") / $217.35 "goods and services" SOLD

Brand new in zippered pouch! Cosmetically off-center to the right, with perfect lockup! No marks on the handle that I could detect, absolutely unused blade, tool still scotch-taped to the plastic baggie! If it were any minty fresh-er it would double as an air freshener. And, really, if you took this out and started waving it around, it would certainly clear a room of anyone that might smell offensive.
Benchmade 771BC1 Boron Carbide coated blade - $170 net / $175.95 goods SOLD
Full album HERE
These things are about as rare as an albino unicorn. These don't come up often, and have been discontinued for a billion zillion years. On top of that, they have the long-discontinued BC-1 ceramic blade coating that makes the blade basically cosmetically perfect eternally. Scratch resistance to the max. The handle shows some wear from handling ( IIRC, this was a display model ) and is otherwise in fantastic shape. There's some writing on the box as well, but it does come with the original box and papers! Smooth, centered, solid, and light - a gentlemanly albino unicorn in kevlar.

Another rarely-comes-up-super-rare one - this time, a ZT from eons ago. Brown anodized aluminum handles that won't tear up your pockets but still provide loads of traction for your hands. Like new in box with just some wear under the clip as far as I can tell. Snappy and solid mechanical function, centered and etc. It's a ZT. It's nice.

ADVANCED PARTICLE METALLURGY STEEL
A lot of intense terms for this gentleman's knife. It makes sense - it's like the James Bond of knives. It's snappily dressed, smooth, solid, and capable - and it totally gets the ladies. At least, it won't make the ladies run away screaming if you take this out of your pocket. Brand new in box with papers, perfect centering, solid lockup, and smooth pivot action. Arguably the best sage, as the handles don't become a scratch farm like the Sage 2 and the lock mechanism fits the size of the knife better than any of the others.

Add-on knives! These are not available individually because the shipping costs make it kind of a huge loss. Buy two or more, or in combination with any of the other knives I have for sale! If you would like one by itself, please add $5.25 to cover shipping.
SOG Access Card 2.0 - $35 net / $36.23 goods
Full album HERE
No box, no papers, carried and used by someone other than myself. I picked it up off eBay and havent carried it. I was going to send it off to SOG to have the blade replaced or worked on, but dicked around for a while and it just sat on my counter. Its really very nice, with a VG-10 blade, smooth pivot action, centered, absurdly slim and light, good lockup (not perfect, but really close), and the lock is very easy to manipulate. Ive priced it at 1/2 of retail to account for the unknown history and the tip having been sharpened in a way that makes it sweep up slightly instead of being a straight edge. Send this off to SOG and youll have a brand new really great knife for super cheap.
Cold Steel Kudu w/ Brass thumbstud - $10 net / $10.35 goods SOLD
Full album HERE
Uncarried and unused as far as I can remember. I got this the same day I got my Eland, and I like the Eland more because it almost took my thumb off one morning. I made a whole post about it and everything. Good times. Anyway, the thumbstud really makes this a great knife to carry and use, as you can fully operate it with one hand! The steel and lockup are great, its centered, and even comes with a box! Ill also include the baggie and tool for the thumbstud (which cost more than the knife )
- Please, only reasonable offers.
- All prices include USPS priority 2-day shipping with tracking. I ship quickly and package things well. Im just as - if not more - impatient and picky as you are.
- I do not accept personal checks or money orders. Paypal only, please.
- US only, please. Please check your local laws. 18 and older only.
- The first "I'll take it" followed by an email/PM gets it. Emails are far and away the most preferred method of communication.
For the sake of bandwidth and thread size, I have 1-2 pictures per knife and links to photobucket albums for each knife with more pictures, including centering and lockup shots.
