Howdy Gang,
What I've got:
Camillus Cuda Maxx by Darrel Ralph - This was their massive 5.5" folder with D2 blade and Titanium Frame Lock handle. BIG is what best describes this folding bowie. Mine is a "user" in the sense that it has been carried and has cut a few things. Action is smooth and lockup is tight. There are a few scratches on the Titanium handle scales from being carried in the pocket. There are also a couple of very tiny darks spots near the spine on the blade on the clip side. See the photos. I'm probably overemphasizing the scratches but I don't want anyone to feel surprised. This knife is by no means a trashed knife.
Flat Side Closed
Clip Side Closed
Low Clip Side Scratches
Upper Clip Side Scratches
For Comparison next to my full size Ritter Grip
What I'm looking for:
I'm honestly not sure. I know that this one stays in my safe these days. I just prefer the feeling of my Ritter/Wilkins Grip in my pocket for EDC. I might be interested in other knives with Titanium frame locks. Maybe one of the "poor man Sebenza" variants out there by BM (like an older PE 750), perhaps one of those Bradleys or some other Titanium frame lock that I don't know about. Larger size fixed blades. (I do likes me some big choppers every now and again.) Also interested in replacing the Buck Strider 888 and 880sp that I carried in Iraq back in 03. Other stuff that interests me are camping hammocks, backpacks of equal value, hunting gear, black powder (TC Renegade, Hawkins or Plains Rifle style ) muzzle loaders.
Heck gang, I've seen what NIB versions of this knife go for on Ebay when you can find them. I also am realistic enough to know that mine isn't NIB any longer but it is by no means trashed out or "damaged". I would call it "very good user" condition. Carried a few times and has done some light cutting. I no longer have the box but do have the original zipper bag that it came with. I would prefer that whatever I trade for fall into the same category of condition.
Thanks for looking,
