Please read the descriptions carefully. I can reply most easily to email questions. I would like money orders or paypal. I ship well packaged/padded in boxes via usps priority. I strongly prefer shipping within the US or its territories, but will consider international for an additional charge, and with no paperwork funny business. I will consider trades, but I am selling to raise some funds for another purpose - I will trade for a Yeti or Pelican 45 qt cooler....

The Police and Rukus have been used, but both are in their correct boxes.
The Darkstar is like new, seemingly unused, but is in a Benchmade box that is not its own.
The G10 Leek is a nice one with the polished G10, no box but in a padded pouch. There is one odd line on it visible in photo, came that way.

Notably, the Police has been modified by the prior owner. The carbon fiber scales have been smoothed, far superior in feel to the shiny finished CF that came on these originally. I seem to recall also being told that an additional choil was added, see photos. The knife is in great shape with just a little sign of use/scratches at the very tip.

The Rukus came to me with some sort of gunk. I removed most of it but did not want to scratch the blade so I stopped scrubbing

The Blackhawk has some discoloration on the old G10 scales, like so many of the old ones do while in storage with the occasional fondling.

Police VG-10 - $275 ***SOLD & SHIPPED***
Rukus - $200 ***SOLD & SHIPPED***
G10 S30V Leek - $100 .... ***SOLD & SHIPPED***
880 ATS34 Dark Star - $175
Blackhawk - $125

I also have a used Spyderco Dayhiker. Some years ago I ran a Spyderco passaround for a dayhiker. It went missing so I bought a replacement one and sent it out. It went to a few different guys, one of which was Tom Krein. Tom made a new kydex sheath for it and it was better than factory sheath. The original dayhiker resurfaced, so I called back the one I bought and the passaround continued. The knife Spyderco provided ended up going to the Sandbox when the passarounds were done. The one I bought has been living in my collection. Mine was used and sharpened, comes with a custom sheath and I will include a teklok. I am asking $175 for this one. I don't have any photos of it...

More photos showing the imperfections on the blade of the Rukus

Some stain-like discolorations that may or may not come off, and a few very light scratches from use.

TMCGLASSON has first right of refusal

Rats - I really wanted another rukus, it's my daily carry knife and I know eventually my luck will run out on keeping it in my posession... How did you guys find this so fast? :eek:

I'll take back up, back up :D
 
OK ADNJ you are number 1 for the Rukus, and polarbare is #2

I am unable to email or PM to ADNJ - I will go try to leave a visitor message
 
If by chance all the Ruckus deals fall through, I'll take it. It is also my carry blade and is awesome!

Thanks. I am waiting for a reply from ADNJ and will advise asap

I will wait til this evening, 24 hours is plenty. ADNJ, Polarbare, then eodtoad

I will bring the knife with me to work, in case contact is established and payment made.

I am most easily contacted via email during the day.
 
PM to Polarbare - and the knife is now pending to Polarbare, thanks

eodtoad, you are next (but Polarbare has confirmed he wants it.)
