Well, when you’re not carrying them, it’s time to let them go. Basic details:
● All prices are for PayPal G&S with the knife shipped first class to CONUS destinations.
● If you are paying from an overseas PayPal account (but want to ship to CONUS), please add 1.5%, since PayPal charges extra.
● Generally, the first person to unconditionally claim a knife publicly and then promptly follow up with a PM and payment gets the knife, though I reserve the right to sell to whom I please. “I will take it, pending question answered” is not unconditionally.
● Thank you, but no trades at this time.
Here are the knives:
Reate K-1. SOLD. Picked this up from another forum member, and it’s just not for me. While the styling is excellent, the knife is borderline too big for me (much like ZT’s are), and the ano is too fragile for me to be comfortable using the knife. I carried it in my backpack a few times, cut up some cardboard with it, and used it at work for some lunch food prep, but I’m scared to mess up the ano job on it. My rule is that there are no safe queens; if I’m not using a knife because I’m constantly scared of scratching it, it’s time to let that knife go (and get a different knife in G10, FRN, orange peel, or some other combination of materials and finish that I am not sweating carrying it around).
IMPORTANT: This knife retails, without the custom ano job, for $400. I am heavily discounting it because there is a stripped screw and mod to compensate for that screw. After the mod, this knife can still be disassembled, but must be done so from the lock side. Please see the ad from the guy I bought the knife from for more on this important detail. (There's a hyperlink in the previous sentence; for some reason it is blue but it is not underlined.)

Price drop for Bestech Kendo + Bestech Scimitar: $50
Bestech Kendo. $26 I can’t say that I got this new, but I can say that I got it unused. Why? The previous owner took a Dremel to the flipper tab. Did that make it better? I really couldn’t tell you, since I don’t know. As with the Bestech Scimitar, I only used this knife a handful of times, and it just didn’t grow on me.

Bestech Scimitar. SOLD. Got this from another member as new. Used it a handful of times but it never grew on me. (I probably have too many fancy knives, so this one didn’t have a chance.)
