Hey y’all,
For a while now Iʼve been noticing more and more that I own a ton of knives, but Iʼm only ever carrying a handful of them. At the same time Iʼm almost exclusively buying knives that just sit in a drawer and get admired every now and then. As a result Iʼve decided to stop “collecting” and instead focus on buying knives that I actually intend to enjoy and use. And so Iʼm parting with a bunch of the blades that I consider too pretty or rare to carry...
All knives are in perfect working order. They open smoothly, and the auto action on every single one is snappy AF. All have been stored with the blade in the open position with the spring tension released. None of them have been carried or sharpened by me, and all of them still have the factory edge...
Any offers should be DM’d, not left in the comments... Iʼm pretty sure Iʼve priced all of these on the low side of fair when their condition and rarity are taken into account. So please, reasonable offers only.
BF’s photo upload was acting extra wonky today and I had to compress the pics more than usual to get BF to accept them. So I will email hi-res pics upon request. I will take videos for serious buyers only.
Vintage Microtechs:
Lightfoot LCC D/A 11/2002 - Super Rare 20cv blade steel... As far as I know there were very few made in this config.
Condition: Excellent.
Only some very hard to see scratches on the blade which only mar the DLC but are very shallow and donʼt penetrate the coating. Also some very faint marks on the bolster from where it sat in the sheath for 20 years. Most of the marks will probably disappear with the application of some rubbing alcohol. Comes with box and belt sheath.
SOLD $475 SOLD
Chameleon D/A 4/1996 - AEB- L.
Condition: Very Good.
Thereʼs one visible scratch on the clip side of the blade, some tiny white spots on the corner edges at the top of the hilt, and some wear marks on the pocket clip. Comes with belt sheath. As you know if youʼre into vintage MTʼs, these are exceedingly hard to find these days.
SOLD - $475 - SOLD
Socom D/A 06/2002 - 154CM.
Condition: Mint... Perfect.
I havenʼt come across one of these for sale in this condition anywhere. No sheath, box or papers unfortunately.
Traded $495 Traded
Amphibian Auto 1/2002 - Rare 14-4CrMo steel.
Condition: BNIB/Mint
Comes with Box and Belt Sheath
Sold $500 Sold
Other Vintage and Discontinued AUTOs for Sale:
Rob Dalton Tank - Extremely Rare
Condition: Mint
Iʼve never seen one of these come up on the forums before. This knife is absolutely gorgeous and in pristine condition. Prettiest Dalton Iʼve ever owned.
TRADED $475 TRADED
Lone Wolf Lobo D/A - scale release - S30V
Condition: Mint/BNIB
Cocobolo Scales. Hidden release. Youʼd never know this was an auto if no one told you. These come up occasionally but almost never in BNIB condition. Comes with Box and Docs.
$365
HTM Darrel Ralph Gunhammer - S30V
Condition: Excellent
Very minor marks on the corners of the clip and on the recess in the “tip down” clip well.
$220
Guardian Tactical Mini Helix Auto - 154CM
Condition: BNIB/Mint
GT didnʼt make very many of these, and they only come up for sale rarely... 3.1” blade. Comes with box and docs.
$265
Prices include PayPal G&S and USPS Priority Shipping. I’m willing to ship UPS or FedEx for an additional fee. All knives will be packaged professionally and will be absolutely encased in packing tape.
TRADES:
Mostly Iʼm looking for cash, but I will consider trades... I prefer DLC blades when possible, Satin... depends on the knife, but Iʼm not into two-tone blades. Iʼm also, not interested in anything with serrations under any circumstances.
Hereʼs what I’m looking for:
- Any vintage or discontinued MT side-opener thatʼs already got enough wear to make carrying it not a sin.
- Microtech Mtx2 D/A - preferably a user
- Microtech SNG D/A - preferably a user
- Spyderco Nirvana
- John Gray Gravitron
- TuffKives Prospect or Continuum. Non-Flippers only.
Finally, DO NOT put any brand, model or knife related information in the comments of your PayPal payment... If you get me banned, I will pay unscrupulous people to break into your house and upper-deck every toilet in your house...
every week...
for eternity.
