ALL SOLD, THANKS EVERYONE AND BF!
Doing a little housecleaning in order to fund future purchases (and let's be honest with each other, there are ALWAYS future purchases), so time to move these guys along! All of my knives, from users to safe queens, are treated well, honed often on ceramic rods, taken apart and oiled, and never used to do something silly like spine whacks or batoning. Not that there's a problem with that if people wanna do it...just letting you know the pedigree.
As always, my prices include priority shipping for FREE, as well as all PP fees (pay as goods with no markup). If you buy from me you are agreeing that you are 18+, that these are legal where you live, and that you intake oxygen and consequently exhale carbon dioxide. Don't want any plants using these because then we're all doomed! DOOOOOOMED!!!

Now on with the show!
(2) KERSHAW TALON 2 1425 (Sandvik 14C28N, G10 scales): I liked this design so much I got two...but then I found other knives I liked, and...well...listen Talons, it's not you, it's me. Really, you're great and all, but I've just moved on, so you should too. *stands up, leaves Italian restaurant*
I'm the second owner of both of these, so I can't speak to their history, but the "lesser" of the two has seen some sharpening to be sure, as the blade is noticeably different than the other, more "factory fresh" one. But they're still sharp and pop out great! Discontinued for whatever reason, but an awesome shape for fine work and tip control. The "better" one has some sharpening scratches at the tip, and the lesser has some...well, all over, but Kershaw will be happy to get both of these back in fighting shape for you for free. Plus, they have that great 14C28N steel. You can tell it's good because it has TWICE as many Ns as it has Cs! Since Ns are sharper than Cs, you understand. Science!
The "lesser" is $25SOLDSOLDSOLD!, while the "better" is $30SOLDSOLDSOLD!, but I'll sell ya BOTH for just$50SOLDSOLDSOLD!! Whattadeal!
OSO SWEET 1830 (8Cr13Mov, FRN scales): We've all been there...it had been DAYS since I'd last bought a knife, I was in a gun shop, and I just...had a moment of weakness. I had to get my FIX! So I bought this little dude for $30. That was only about a week ago, but I can tell he won't be getting any pocket time given my other options, so fly, little knifey, be free!
I didn't inspect it well before buying (dumb) so I didn't see the shallow scratch running the length of the blade (you'll see it in the pic). But it fires out like a speedsafe opener should, has a great slicer blade shape and is literally factory fresh. My poor judgment and lack of discipline is your gain!
Price is a measly $15SOLDSOLDSOLD!, to your door..that's half what I paid! Don't worry, I'll make it up in volume...I'm a business genius!
PACKRAT 1665 (Sandvik 14C28N, Orange G10): Packrat! It's a really fun word to say, especially when you say it quickly and loudly. PACKRAT! Say it five times rapidly and tell me you're not a little happier: PACKRATPACKRATPACKRATPACKRATPACKRAT! Good times.
Anyhoo, bought this for medium duty at work and it did its job with gusto (Gusto is the Armenian guy who helps me), but it was never used to cut anything besides boxes and I'm ready for new options. The blade shape is seriously perfect; pierces effortlessly, while the wharncliffe-esque belly makes slicing a freaking pleasure. Assisted opener for speed, good steel, great ergonomic handle shape...it's a winner!
Discontinued as well, and thus fairly rare,...but I'll let you have it for $40SOLDSOLDSOLD! because I like the cut of your jib. I don't know what a jib is, or why it's been cut, but just take the damn compliment, will ya?
BOKER URBAN TRAPPER (VG-10, titanium liners, cocobolo scales): And now, the main event! First off: I don't like giving this one up. It's sexy, flips super smooth, has beautiful wood scales and a gorgeous vintage-meets-modern look that I'm in love with. But all that being said, it's a little small for my hands, and I don't get a chance to carry a "gentleman's folder" like this too often. If it was a bit stockier it'd be going into my casket, still gripped by my cold, dead hands. Morbid!
But it is, as they say, what it is, and so you can get your possibly smaller (or at least less-discriminating) hands on it! Extremely minor scratches on the blade from it touching the liners here and there (only show up in sunlight) and the bigger flipper tab that's still discreet yet effective. Comes with cool box and torx tool as it did when bought!
Let's just talk about the value here, really: VG-10 steel, titanium liners, real wood handles AND a caged bearing pivot for $60SOLDSOLDSOLD!?? Brother, that would've cost you four times that five years ago, all day. It's the golden age of production knives, huzzah!
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 duh) takes precedent! Good luck!
