Two up for trade.
First one is a Council Tool 3.5 pound Jersey. The website lists a 36 inch handle, but it's closer to 35 inches. I have used it a little bit and the bit was sharpened - however, it has seen minimal use. The handle and head show marks from use, but is in otherwise great condition. I did sand down the handle and put on a couple coats of boiled linseed oil. Good grain orientation on the handle. I bought this brand new sometime towards the end of summer and haven't used it as much as I would like. I'll ship this one in a cheap sheath I threw together just to keep the edge protected. It's not something I would recommend keeping (it probably won't hold up to much use).
Second one is a Scott Long EDC. This one is made from O1 steel with an OAL of just under 7 inches. Blade is 3 inches long. Very nice honey bloodwood scales. Comes with a leather pouch sheath. The knife is used and was resharpened when I received it. I have used it for basic EDC type tasks - mostly some cord, cardboard boxes, and paper. I have kept the edge sharp with a strop after I first sharpened it (convex).
Third is a Leatherman Wave. This is a user but is in good condition. I have this up for trade mostly as a "seal the deal" item, if need be. Most of the use is shown in and around the pliers and the saw has seen a little use on some small branches. This was my "woods" multi-tool so it only saw use when I was out and about in the woods. I didn't receive a holster/sheath for this so I have been using an old, black gerber holster (soft nylon) that works fine.

Here's one to Scotts website (from what I could dig up) - http://runningdeerforge.webs.com/gallery.htm
I'd be interested in fixed blades in the 3 to 5 inch category and outdoor gear (can't think of any specific gear off the top of my head). I'm open to options - Email or PM is the best and fastest for me. I've had my eye on some of the "newer" smaller beckers, Bark Rivers, and a Wetterlings Small Hunters (had one a traded it away, need to get another one)...I'd also be very interested in a set of 1 inch belts for a 1x30 belt sander (some sort of sharpening assortment that you can find on leevalley, trugrit, etc) - I'm looking for a good set of belts to start sharpening with. I'll add some more options as they come to mind, please feel free to send me ideas.
I typically ship via USPS Priority, but the axe is going to be pretty costly (I would assume). That one will probably go out via First Class (maybe UPS, but they are a little farther away). I always add insurance and delivery confirmation. I work most weekends, so shipping on any of these would be starting on Monday the 17th.
