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.
Spyderco Gayle Bradley. $145. Excellent condition. I bought it new from another forum member and have used it a handful of times, but Mr. Bradley is not very easy on my thumb with that lock of his. This is the only reason I’m selling it. I could Dremel the side to give me more purchase on the (liner) lock, but that’s time that I don’t have right now, and if not done perfectly, it wouldn’t look great, because the carbon fiber is slightly smaller than the liner, so if you Dremel one, you have to Dremel the other one the same exact amount so that the shadow effect continues (unless you just don’t care how it looks).

Quartermaster Mr. Roper. $110. I’ve had this for a while but have only used it a handful of times. This is a curious knife, because the previous owner said that it had been owned and modded by none other than Matt Cucchiara himself. Is it true? Who knows. The knife is very pretty but not so easy for me to open and close. (See previous comment about dexterity.) It also has a bit of lateral blade play, though I have not tried to loctite it down. On the plus side, I did find the knife more comfortable in the hand than expected.

Boker SD2. $97. Catch and release. The previous owner did not say that this was brand new, but it looked like it (and still does). Visually, this is exactly what I like in a knife, but the mechanics of opening and closing it were a bit too much for my fuddle fingers. (I don’t have the best dexterity.)
