Condition:
Benchmade 552-400 (large Ritter Griptilian): Like New, blade centered, lock is tight
Benchmade 558-400 (small Ritter Griptilian): Used and carried a few times, a little bit a wear. Needs sharpening. I was going to take it apart and clean it, but I didn't get far as one of the screwheads didn't cooperate.
Hunter-Skinner: Never carried, some very minor scuffing, knife has buffalo horn handle with minor seam visible (see photo). I asked DamascusUSA about it and they told me it was normal and reminded me that the knife has a lifetime warranty (if there are any issues they'll replace the handle).
15-inch Khukuri: Used to chop some wood a couple of times. There is some minor discoloration of the blade.
Prices (includes standard shipping to CONUS):
Benchmade 552-400: $100
Benchmade 558-400: $75
Hunter-Skinner: $165
Khukuri: $105
I would be interested in trades. Smaller EDC folders with high-quality handles.
