Hey hey, knificionados! I need money for custom scales and some Halloween candy (not for the kids, though...*snort*) so let's put three fine production pieces up for sale.
As always, my prices include priority shipping for FREE, as well as all PayPal fees (you pay as goods with no markup). If you buy from me you are agreeing that you are over 18, that this is legal where you live, and that like me, you would rather walk barefoot across an ocean of Legos than type a single document using Papyrus or Comic Sans. FOUL DEVIL FONTS. Finally, I can sell to whoever I want, because this is Craigmangistan...a sovereign digital nation, and I am its ruthless dictator, AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!
KERSHAW LINK (Very light user, 420HC blackwash blade, aluminum handles): The downside of this addiction for me is that I temper it with a degree of discipline. You've seen it elsewhere; members who sell knives saying that they don't keep knives they don't carry, etc. For me, I only keep as many knives as will fit in my 12-pocket folding carrier. Well, I've owned two Links, and enjoyed them both, but this one pulled number 13 in this month's drawing.
It's a bit of a bummer, because this is a great knife! Big, slicey blade hidden wonderfully in a solid handle; strong flipping and flipper tab design; ergonomics in normal and reverse grips that many knives wish they had. I'm only parting with it because so many newer experiences are coming my way, and I have to make tough decisions. Listen, this isn't some Sophie's Choice level brain twister or anything, so don't let me oversell it...but hey, we all get a little attached to our knives, even if they aren't around forever.
My pal Adam (cowboyarcher, as you may know him on BF) uses this as his go-to EDC, because it's a killer value and a very capable piece...but if it got destroyed in a freak wood chipper accident it wouldn't ruin his week. My words, not his, but you get the point, yes? So why not follow his lead and get yourself this little fella for just $30?SOLDSOLDSOLD! Yeah, just like I thought...you have no reason not to. PM ME ALREADY, SLACKER.
SPYDERCO DOMINO (Light user, CTS-XHP blade, blue carbon fiber scale): Have you noticed how some knife manufacturers like to make little families of knives with connected names? Spyderco has the Domino/Dice and Bug/Ladybug/Manbug. ...ugh, "Manbug." Quartermaster (or for the super cool, QTRM5STRRSTRRL33T) has knives named for characters from the A-Team and Back to the Future. (Oooh, semi-topical!) But Kershaw takes the cake with their Ken Onion line...Leek, Shallot, Scallion AND Chive. Okay Kershaw, we get it, geez! Thank god Ken's last name isn't Sextoy.
The point is, these names are pretty nonsensical, but hey...there's only so many synonyms for "sharp," I guess. It could be worse and we could be naming everything with boring numbers like Benchmade does. SNOOOOOOOOOOOOORE.
The Domino, despite bearing absolutely no resemblance to its namesake other than being longer than it is wide, is a terrific piece. It strikes a difficult balance between decent flipper and usable thumb-operated slow-roller, and with its full flat grind is a very capable slicer to boot. I've even upgraded this one with a sexy matching blue-anodized Casey Lynch deep-carry clip! As for the old clip, uh...yeah, I dunno where that got off to. Probably frolicking in The Land of the Lost Things with some socks from the dryer and your high school class ring. Man, Jostens is making a KILLING on those damn things.
So hey! It's in great condition, flips like a champ and has a neat upgrade, and still you can buy it from me for $150SOLDSOLDSOLD!. You should do that, because I'm a cool guy and I need the money and you've been wanting a Domino for a while and you deserve it. There, that should cover all the bases.
ZT 0808 (Light user, S35VN blade, anodized titanium scales): I bought the ZT 0450 long ago, because Sinkevich owns my wallet and I had to have it. Consequently, I've gotten it anodized, reground, anodized, deep carry clipified and standoffed. It's my baby and I love it.
But ever since then, there'd been a nagging desire deep in the back of my brain...a need to see how it stacked up to its "big brother," the 0808. Did I get the right one? Did I adopt the best sibling?
So I came across a listing for a neat "blurple" anodized one recently from another member here and finally had a chance to compare. At long last, the moment of truth had arrived! And after a day of carrying and light usage, my sought-after decision had finally taken shape, which was:
Hey listen, the 0808 is a GREAT piece. Strong ZT detent, snappy flipping action, awesome knife shape and handle feel. It's just...not my brand of vodka, you know? It's a little more "Range Rover" than my 0450, which is more "Corvette." Or whatever, look...my knife to car model translation app needs updating.
But if that's what you're into, this is a strong specimen. Comes with the much better deep-carry clip, and also the stock one (if I can find it). There are some superficial...not even scratches, more like snail trails, on the reverse blade side. And the backspacer has some tiny surface scratches, but let's be honest...that mirror finish was gonna get 'em sooner or later.
But outside of that, it's sharp, smooth, uniquely colored and straight-up ready to carve a place into your heart. Uh...okay, macabre, I guess...but Halloween IS tomorrow! It comes with the box, bubble wrap and even the little silica gel pack, for you insane completists. Priced for a quick sale at $150!SOLDSOLDSOLD!

More pics can be emailed if needed, so lemme know. Offers will be considered, but given my prices and what's included, they'd better be amazing for me to be interested. Trades are more likely possibilities, so I'll entertain those, but the first person to claim these with those three magic words AND follow up with a PM or email (craigforhire AT gmail DOT duuuuuuuuuh) takes precedent. Good luck!
