I have 2 folders that I would like to trade:
1. A Benchmade Ascent 835. PE. BNIB.
Really nice knife. I like the flat ground blade shape - Very reminiscent of the Spyderco Calypso Jr that I have, although the drop point blade of the BM is probably sturdier. I find this one just a touch large for my EDC needs though. (Should have gotten the smaller version!)
2. A Kershaw Blackout. PE. Not NIB, but in excellent condition.
Thought I'd give this one a try, but find that I'm not that taken with the assisted opening. Extremely sharp though. I have used the knife a couple of times - the blade covering is slightly marked, but not scratched (if you know what I mean)
If possible I'd like to trade both of these for a single knife but at the same time, I am open to reasonable suggestions...
Preference(s):
- small folders around the same size as Benchmades Mini-Griptilians. ie ~3" blade with a ~4" handle. (buck 112/113? ... etc)
- a nice fixed blade for camping / outdoor work. I have an old puma hunters pal that I bought iway back and that still looks good (How about a SwampRat BogDog? or CampTramp? ... etc)
Thanks for taking the time to look.
