Gayle Bradley 2 - I just bought this new last week and was a little surprised that it didn't have a razor sharp factory edge on it right out of the box, like my Spydercos usually do. So, I sharpened it on a KME (also for sale with brand new Chosera stones, see Gadgets & Gear), and although I got a nice edge on it, I also managed to put some light scratches near the tip. My OCD just can't handle on this on a brand new knife, so I'm going to let it go. I am going to end up getting another GB2 and time it to arrive with some custom ironwood scales I ordered from Suingab, but for now I'm just shaking my head at my careless sharpening and saying goodbye to this particular GB2.
If some minute scratches don't bother you on an otherwise hard-use, cutting monster of a knife, then take advantage of my great asking price of $OLD. PayPal G&S with USPS Priority shipping to CONUS only.

Pakkawood Delica 4 with ZDP189 blade swap - I've had this in carry rotation for a while, and it is an absolute winner. Normally, these Pakkawood Delicas (Knife Center exclusive) come with HAP40 steel, clad in SUS410, but the blade on this was swapped out for a ZDP189 blade, which I like a lot better than HAP40/SUS410 combo (the SUS410 scratches if you look at in a menacing way). This Delica has about the smoothest opening and closing action I've ever experienced with a backlock, and is actually fidget-friendly as hell. I can tell you that while the ZDP189 holds an edge with the best of steels, the flipside is that it is absolutely brutal to sharpen, which is the other reason that I'm selling my KME. Did I mention that I'm selling a KME with three brand new Chosera stones and other extras, over on BG "Gadgets & Gear" section? Haha!!
I'm also asking $OLD for this exceptional example of a Delica. New price at Knife Center for the Pakkawood HAP40/SUS410 is $156. PayPal G&S with USPS Priority shipping to CONUS only.
Quite honestly, my sharpening experiences with the GB2 and the Pakkawood Delica ZDP189 just broke me on the whole KME sharpening thing. That's why I've got my KME up for sale over KME Gadgets & Gear, and I didn't even touch the reportedly amazing Chosera stones that I bought to "take my edges to the next level". I'm tucking my tail between my legs and going back to my Sharpmaker and just constantly maintaining the sharpness of knives without having to do anything major.
