Thinning the herd. These are all good blades, they just don't make the rotation.
All have seen light carry. The folders are in excellent shape. So is the Becker, but i modded it (stripped, etched, replaced hardware with stainless).

----



Becker BK16, modded, with Godspeed Kydex Sheath - $75 $60 SOLD shipped, includes paypal fees.

First Production Run, Saber Ground BK16.
I like it, I just always seem to grab other knives when i head out to the woods, so i'm hoping to get this to someone who'll use it like it's supposed to be used. I've made a couple feather sticks with it, that's about it.

Here's what i did:
-Stripped the whole blade
-Etched the flats
-Stippled the black handles for better grip
-Changed the nuts/bolts to Stainless Steel
-Added liners (they match the black handles)
-Convexed the edge
-Made an extremely amateurish set of barbwire micarta handles, which i'll throw in for free (since that is about what they're worth)
If you're interested, here's the thread where i did all the mods.
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...hort-my-Handle-Project-for-the-16-UPDATE-DONE

Also includes a very nice Godspeed Kydex Sheath. Great fit. The sheath cost $30-$35 by itself. Should fit any 16 with liners if you like to mix-n-match.

Let's say $75 $60, shipped, paypal fees on me. That's a solid bargain. The sheath is worth much of that all by itself.

Here's a pic with the super amateur micarta handles i made, in better light. The other side handle has some issues with the hex-shaped holes i tried to cut. Oh, and the micarta is wet to make it all sexy looking:

Here it is in terrible light with the stippled black zytel handles, with liners on:

SOLD Spyderco Dragonfly. FRN handles, VG-10 blade. $35 shipped, includes paypal fees

SOLD Buck Vantage Pro (small). S30V blade. $40 SOLD shipped, includes paypal fees

SOLD Spyderco Ambitious, low-rider clip. i swapped the clip out for a low-rider clip to get it to sit deeper in the pocket and be more onubtrusive. makes a big difference. Only selling this one b/c I bought the blue G10 Ambitious when it came out, and i always grab that one instead. I'll include the original clip and a couple extra screws in case you want to switch back (you won't :)). $25 SOLD shipped, includes paypal fees.



all are lightly carried (opening mail, envelopes, etc). hard to tell, they all look new, and all still have the original factory edge.

I'll take it please
 
michiel, thanks for the offer, but i'd like to try and keep shipping in the US if possible (saves me from having to fill out the customs forms). if i can't sell it domestically in the next 24hours, it's yours, but i'm going to try and sell it here first. thanks for the interest, and sorry...

miltmaldo backed out on the dragonfly, it is currently SPF to al via email,

i don't have any good way to get ahold of you, so i'll leave you a visitor message on your profile page. hopefully you see this or that soon (if i don't hear from you in the next day or so, i'm going to go ahead and send it to michiel overseas, since he was first and is willing to pay the extra shipping).

email me when you see this: gentemanndvm@comcast.net (that's also my paypal address)

Tried to sell this one a couple days ago along with several other knives. That sales thread is so convoluted with this knife's 'i'll take it's' and subsequent back-outs and thirds and fourths that also backed out that i'm just closing that thread and starting over.
(for your entertainment: first gentleman was overseas, i tried to keep it US to save customs hassles for me. second guy in line backed out d/t probs with paypal. third guy in line thought he was buying the ambitious in the pic instead of the dragonfly, so backed out next. fourth guy in line never got back to me from the visitor message i left telling him it was his. and by the time i got back to the first guy and said i'd ship overseas if he'd either pay for trackable shipping or assume all the risk of regular mail, he'd already bought another knife). and there are now so many next-in-lines and maybes in that sales thread that even i'm confused. hope that's okay, mods.



Spyderco Dragonfly. FRN handles, VG-10 blade. $35 SOLD shipped, includes paypal fees

Lightly used/carried when i first got it (intermittent pocket carry in an office - opening envelopes, cutting tape, etc). Hard to tell, looks new, still has the original factory edge, haven't touched it. Original box included.
