Hello everyone,

I am going to be selling off folders of mine that I no longer use and hope they arrive at good homes with owners that will put them to use.

All three of these griptilians have been touched up with a Lansky turnbox ceramic rods, however the orignal bevel has not been changed. I have the box for the Black/Black 550HG and the 551H2O but not the original 550 as that is how I purchased it.

The 550HG has 154CM blade steel with a black coated combo edge blade. It has a slight scuff on the tip on both sides of the knife from stabbing it into a 2x4 to make it "stick." Great knife, smooth as butter and perfect lockup (of course it's an axis lock). $55 shipped to your door via USPS Priority 2-3 day shipping with delivery confirmation/tracking.

The 551H2O is a great knife with X15-TN blade steel in Plain edge, never used but was scuffed up while sharpening the edge. Great to look at with it's bright orange handles, mirror finish split arrow clip, and treated parts for salt water use. $60 shipped SOLD to your door via USPS Priority 2-3 day shipping with delivery confirmation/tracking.

The Original 550 has 440C blade steel with plain edge and oval thumb hole opener. Has that real "reptile" look that has made the griptilian image the way it is known today (imho). Smoothest axis lock I've ever handled, just the way I purchased it. Green handle and black parts make the satin/mirror finish blade stand out just a tad more than other griptilians. Hate to let this one go, but I just don't use it. $60 shipped SOLD via USPS Priority 2-3 day shipping with delivery confirmation/tracking.

I can be reached 24/7 via the email system by clicking on my username, by PM, or just by posting here in this thread.

Paypal accepted and preferred, no BS fees, just pay the price shown using the regular payment option for your protection and mine - this ways there's an electronic trail and if I wreck going to the post office at least you can get your money back :p

Take care, J.

Almost forgot, Paypal address: batosai117@yahoo.com

Please post "I'll take it" and no reserve, I've held knives for people before only to get burned, payment up front unless we've bought/sold/traded in the past and have made necessary arrangements (like payday coming up).

Both knives shipped right at opening this morning, I was called into work yesterday because someone called in sick so I had to go in at 3PM instead of my usual overnight shift. My apologies for the delay, both knives are right on track.

The 550HG is still available and I will drop it to $55 shipped.
