Hi everyone. I'm looking for some new steel so here are some knives up for trade. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have about the listing. I can give more details, specs, and pictures if you ask. If you're interested, feel free to contact me through private message or email. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. If you just want a straightforward sale, let me know and I'll have something arranged. Thanks for looking.
For trades, I'm looking for a: Spyderco Magnitude, Spyderco Lum Chinese, Spyderco Superleaf, Spyderco Poliwog, Striders, BM 610 Ruckus, BM 51 Morpho, BM 808 Loco, Serge Panchenko knives, Cold Steel 4-Max, Emerson Iron Dragon, CQC-7 Flipper, Emerson Big Bulldog, Emerson Super Karambit, a Rat Worx, and a Microtech Spartan UT but I'll be happy to hear other offers. Worst I can do is pass and cash can be added either way.
If you are planning to send me an email through the forum, please post on the thread as well to let me know. Some of those are lost in transit and never reach my mailbox.
1. BladeRunners Systems Barebones - brand new in box
Stainless steel handles
Never carried, used, or dropped
Has just been handled a bit
Smooth action and it locks up tight both open and closed
Comes with all the original packaging
2. SureFire EW-13 Dart - brand new in box
Never carried or used
3" blade in 154 CM
Locks up solid with their "bar lock"
No play in any direction
Aluminum frame
Has a bottle opener when closed
3. LionSteel PM-2 Police - brand new in box - Traded
Discontinued and hard to find
Blade is made from Sleipner and measures 3.75"
Very comfortable in a variety of grips
3D textured black G-10 scales
Action is liquid smooth and lockup rock solid with no play in any direction
4. Bradley Kimura 11 - near mint - Sold
The entire knife is blackwashed
Locks up tight both open and closed
Smooth action
The only real wear is some light scuffs on the latch that blend in with the blackwash
Comes with only the knife
5. Cold Steel Espada XL - very good condition
Insane 7.5" polished blade and is 16.75" overall when open
Handle is polished double-bolstered aluminum with a polished G-10 scale on either side
Waves open easily with the thumbdisc
Blade is a very good slicer; thin behind the edge
There are faint scratches on the polished parts of the knife
Locks up tight with the Cold Steel Tri-Ad lock
The monstrous blade sits dead center in the handle
6. Benchmade 420S Resistor Prototype - brand new in box - Traded
Mike Snody design
Blade is marked "Prototype Dec. 2003"
154CM steel
Dead mint, never carried or used
Comes with all the original packaging
7. Spyderco Tuffram Civilian - very good condition
Original 1993 version that's been long discontinued
Aluminum handles with rubberized inlays in both the front side and clip
4"+ blade in G-2 stainless
Edges of the handle are polished
Chamfered Spyderhole
There are some marks in the handle and some spots on the blade that might come off. I don't believe that it's rust.
The blade has some faint scratches and the tip could use a light touch-up.
Overall, I'd say it's in great shape, especially for a blade this old.
8. Emerson CQC-15 SF - near mint
Serial number: 1324
2012 model with a backspacer
Has been carried but barely ever used
The coating on the lock side of the pivot has some wear
The blade is mint; those are handling marks in the picture, not scratches
Not yet broken in
Rock solid lockup with no play at all
Blade slightly favors the lockside
Comes with only the knife
