Edit, update, and consolidation:
I am having a hard time getting along with this 710 D2. I have had it for a few days and while it is a very beautiful and functional knife, it just isn't floating my boat like my other knives. I decided to try and get a better edge on the knife and give it a little more time to grow on me. At last, I decided that this D2 is better than the combination of my sharpmaker and myself. I brought the knife to a professional to have it sharpened on a belt. He did a fantastic job. The edge is great and is now easily maintained/touched up with ceramic
Email is activated now. Thank you for the heads up. I would prefer everyone shot an email my way proposing trades.
Anyone hoping for pristine will be disappointed. There are a few paint chips on the clip (Why does Benchmade still use the painted clip anyway?) and a couple faint scuff marks on the blade finish. They showed up well in the photographs.
Even though I have only had this knife for about a week, I would classify it as gently used. I would hope to find a trade in a similar condition.
The last bit of disclosure I would like to touch upon is that I live in Alaska. This shouldn't be too much trouble if you are ok with shipping USPS in a flat rate box or envelop.
I am primarily interested in Spydercos of a similar value, but will consider anything.
Pictures should be up within a few hours.
Thanks to everyone who has made me an offer so far. I am still waiting for the right offer to come along.
