I try to check my threads fairly often so chances are I'll see your posts as well. If you just want a straightforward sale, let me know and we can have something worked out. Thanks for taking a look.

For trades, I'm looking for a: Spyderco Lum Chinese, Spyderco ZDP Stretch, Spyderco PPT, Spyderco Smock, Striders, Olamics, Chris Reeves, Hinderers, Brous Anti Up, Ferrum Forges, Ziebas, Curtiss Knives, Sharp By Designs, Emerson Big Bulldog, Emerson Aftershock, North Arm Skaha, Koenig Arius, ZT 0454, WE Knives Eschaton, G&G Hawk Orbit, Tashi Rowdy HiTech, Microtech Stitch, Benchmade 698-181 Gold Class Foray, some balisongs, and a Graham Razel but I'll be happy to hear other offers. Worst I can do is pass and cash can be added either way.

1. Brous Blades Dynamic - near mint
Serial number 100 of 500
Well built with nice fit and finish
Slightly recurved tanto blade
Blade and frame have been stonewashed
Here are the exact specs: https://www.knifecenter.com/item/JB...lipper-35-d2-blade-stonewash-titanium-handles
Top notch action, great detent, locks up tight, and centering is dead on

2. Emerson Sheepdog Bowie SF - near mint - Traded
Serial number 0678
It's weird but Emerson makes some of the best bearing flippers on the market
Not completely broken in yet but already flips 100% reliably and is fall-shut smooth
Perfect centering and solid lockup
There's some lock stick but nothing unusual and should get better with use
Comes with the box and papers

3. EOS Squid - near mint
Very well built folder with a 3.625" blade
Everything, even down to the screws, was machined all in the same shop
The inside of the frame has been extensively skeletonized so it's easier to carry than it looks
If you look closely, the machining marks were left in certain places to give it a nice effect
Blasted S35VN blade
Stonewashed ti handle with a nice satin on the flat
Flamed backspacer and clip
Opens easily with either the flipper or thumbhole and falls shut
Not 100% broken in but already runs glass smooth on ceramic bearings
Perfect centering and it locks with zero play

4. Spyderco Paramilitary 2 Sprint with Aramis Akhmedov Custom CF Scales - near mint
Satin CTS-20CP (CPM-S90V equivalent with slightly better edge holding) blade
Custom scales made from thick contoured carbon fiber that's been polished and matte blasted so that it's not slippery
No voids or even any wear on the CF
Makes it fill the had a bit more without really adding weight
Blade has some light scratches and has been sharpened to a mirror edge but could use a light touch-up
Smooth action, locks with zero play, and centering is dead on
I do not have the original scales

5. Zero Tolerance 0462 - near mint - Traded
Serial number #833
Larger full-sized version of the 0460
Satin CPM-20CV blade
Red and black carbon fiber show side
Stonewashed ti
Black hard anodized aluminum backspacer
Only wear I see is on a small part of the clip
Locks up with no play at all
Centering slightly favors the lockside but there's a good amount of space before it rubs
Flips like you'd expect a Sinkevich ZT to, it's hard to not have it open all the way
Comes with the box and papers

6. Spyderco Lil' Lum Sprint - like new in box
2.38" blade with a polished satin
The thinnest blade I've gotten from Spyderco
Full flat ground leaf shape blade that's all belly but canted down so it feels like you're using a wharnclifffe
Satin liners
Sprint run with blue Nishijin glass fiber scales
Smooth action and locks with no play
Centering favors the lockside by a hair
