A car repair that I thought would cost a couple hundred turns out to cost a couple grand. German car = cruel mistress. So after only buying and not selling the past few years, I am forced to dip into my “knife savings account.”

- Spydie G10 Dragonfly – prior owner smoothed G10 clip side scale. Light carry use and sharpening. $60 . SOLD to FullFlat
- Spydie Pingo – I modded with CF scales, thumbstud, added choil so it can’t close on your fingers and gives a great grip. Showed it to Sal who said “nice who did the work?” I think that meant it was decent, although it is not perfect. $50. SOLD to TooCool
- Spydie Chapparal – light use & carry - when received from prior owner the backspring was proud against the tang when open, I slowly filed down the lockbar inside to let it sit almost but not quite perfectly. Solid lockup action and centering. Don’t believe it has been sharpened. $80
- Quartermaster QTR-6 Orville "Rick" Wright (so many names!) Got this in trade. Hell-for-stout. Texas Tea finish on blade and lock side. I tinkered with it until the blade locks up 100% & it flips open perfectly, but it does not drop shut though b/c of the strong detent and lock pressure. I also used black leather dye on the indentations in the gray G10 - if you boil it in some other color of RIT dye I think it will take, but the indentations will be darker. I prefer it with the thumbstuds removed so they don’t get in the way when cutting, although I only used it on one day trip and it shows no signs of it. Handle is way more confortable than it looks. I think I have box and stuff. Brawny! $100
- Spydie ORIGINAL Calypso Jr. in black linen micarta and AUS-8. Old School! Seen very light office carry (without clip), very light office use, I don’t think it has been sharpened (I’m 2nd owner). Off-centered when closed but blade does not rub. Locks open solidly with a satisfying “snak!” Took me a long time to find one for sale, really a classic and wonderfully made, but doesn’t exactly fit my hands. Trying to find the clip and screws. $80 SOLD to Johnny4171486
- Spydie Para 2 Digicam C81GPCM02, carried some, may have seen light use, appears to have been given micro-bevel. Lock-up is solid, pretty centered (at worst 45/55). $90
- Spydie modified S110V blurple Military – shortened and modified handle and blade AND added tip-up clip – clip screws go into a tapped steel plate I added, & used a blue Boker titanium clip. It has seen light use and some sharpening . Lock-up is solid, centering is just slightly off of 50/50. By my measurements the handle on the modded millie is 4+15/16" compared to 4+13/16" for the unmodded paramilitary, and blade length is 3+3/4" compared to the para's blade of a hair under 3.5". This handle shape is more comfortable to my ungloved L/XL hands than the original design. Not sure how to value this, so $125.
- CRKT Eraser – never carried or used by me but I am second owner – flips great, lockup solid, centered. Sharpish but would profit from a sharpening to a razor like the design deserves. Discontinued so guessing at value = $65.
- BM user Griptillian “Halloween Special” –M4 steel & orange G10 scales. Very slight amount of lock rock when open, centering is maybe 60/40 at worst. I have used this regularly for years but aside from some bruising in the blade finish it really doesn’t look it. This is to be used, hard! Again guessing at value since it is M4 & G10, but has been used - $140 SOLD to RHPICAYUNE
- Mcusta Bushido – awesome knife, purchased recently off the exchange, gorgeous hammered Damascus blade. Has been carried a couple times but has not been used, at least by me (2nd owner). Centered with solid lockup. $85
- BM mini hardtail user in D2. I jigged the plastic handles and they feel great. I don’t know why I don’t carry this more, it is a great lightweight EDC. Solid lockup, centered when closed. $55 SOLD to Sheepborg
- Spydie Terzuola – the mods make it useless for collectors but much-improved as a user IMHO. I modified the blade and handle shape, and sanded down 2 of the 4 detents so it is much easier to operate. Tang at index finger is imperfectly finished. If this had a lock instead of detents it would be my forever EDC. NOTE – I have the clip, but carried it clipless so the clip screws are lost to the mists of time. Might be able to get replacement screws from Spyderco? $55
SOLD to Johnny4171486
- 3 Enlan beater knives - $10 each with purchase of other knife/knives listed
- Cold Steel Holdout 2 in CTS-XHP, appears unused/unsharpened, with box. Bank vault lockup of course, black G10 is clean, and centering is off by just a smidgen. These seem to be discontinued, but used to sell for around $95 so let’s say $75
- bundled PAIR of black Zytle lockbacks: Benchmade 10402 Pika II PE (appears unused w/solid lockup and centered, and a Spydie Tasman Salt PE (same) -- get both for $70
- Modded BM Proper – scales reprofiled and swedge added to clip point. Generally cleaned it up, and scales very slightly thinner and have finer (but not polished) finish. Greatly improves look and feel of knife IMHO. Great thin EDC, but all Propers seem to have light pulls compared to say GEC slipjoint knives. Some improvement to feel can be made by adjusting the pivot tension to your liking - and then maybe locktight it, although I haven’t found it necessary. $85
Working so will check back in an hour or so
