Some new acquisitions have displaced some old ones, and some projects have leftovers! Time to clear out my closet and free up some funds.

BF's email system has been really unreliable as of late. I can be reached directly at "leonardspock", a gmail email account. (just add @gmail.com - I broke it up like this to avoid automatic email gathering bots)


The terms of sale:​
  • Please, only reasonable offers.
  • All prices include USPS priority 2-day shipping with tracking. I ship quickly and package things well. I’m just as - if not more - impatient and picky as you are, so I get them to yeh as soon as is possible.
  • I do not accept personal checks or money orders. Paypal only, please.
  • US only, please. Please check your local laws before buying anything. 18 and older only.
  • The first "I'll take it" followed by an email/PM gets it. Emails are far and away the most preferred method of communication.

For the sake of bandwidth and thread size, I have 1-2 pictures per knife and links to photobucket albums for each knife with more pictures, including centering and lockup shots and typically any included accessories.

TRADES:

Not interested in trades at this time (except for a Reate Begg Kwaiken)

As always, no deal is done until you are happy. I do my best to describe everything accurately, but if you find you disagree, we’ll work something out.

Spyderco Southard - $145 (Paypal "friends and family") / $150 (Paypal "goods and services") **SOLD**

Full album HERE

Carried and used without notable signs of carry or use. Edge still pops hairs, blade is dead center, lockup is perfect, and so is the pivot action. The scale-side liner had once been anodized and has been since stonewashed to remove the finish. No box with this one, just a great knife at a user price.

Cold Steel G10 / Satin Hybrid Large Espada - $70 (Paypal "friends and family") / $72.45 (Paypal "goods and services") ***SPF***

Full album HERE

This is what is left over from my Tuxedo Espada project. It's actually more mechanically sound than the hybrid that I'm keeping, as this one is dead centered and has flawless lockup (whereas my Tux Espada has a teensy bit of vertical play and is off a little to the right). I don't really plan on carrying or using this one, though, and I'm no collector, so off it goes! This one is unique in that Cold Steel has never produced a G10 Espada with a Polished + Satin blade. All G10 models to date have been bead blasted or DLC coated, but this has the handle from the DLC XHP version (62NGCL) and the blade from the bolstered polished AUS8 version (62NL). There are some mystery stains on the blade that were there when I got them, and I tried to capture them in the pictures. The blade has seen very light use (thin plastic wrap, cuticles) and is indistinguishable from factory sharp. This comes in the DLC XHP Large Espada Box.





Zero Tolerance 0560BW #5458 BNIB (Steel lockbar insert model) - $170 (Paypal "friends and family") / $175.95 (Paypal "goods and services")**SOLD**

Full album HERE

Brand new in box, with perfect mechanical function. Strong detent, centered blade, perfect lockup, super smooth pivot action. The box is a little roughed up, and one of the tab-flap-insert things on the box came off when I opened the box, and it has since been taped back into place. The knife, however, is perfect, so I suppose the box did its job! Comes with the paperwork, antidessicant packet, and bubblewrap pouch.

Zero Tolerance 0560BW #5459 BNIB (Steel lockbar insert model) - $170 (Paypal "friends and family") / $175.95 (Paypal "goods and services") **SOLD**

Full album HERE

Same as above, but the box is in slightly better shape! Buy both and have two knives with sequential serial numbers, and I'll even cut it down to $315 (NET) for the pair.

Kershaw Nura 3.5 LNIB - $25 (Paypal "friends and family") / $25.88 (Paypal "goods and services")

Full album HERE

Like new in box, carried a couple times, used sparingly with light cutting tasks. Ended up choosing my XHP 4" Talwar over this, so this is just kicking around! Flips beautifully on the KVT bearing system, locks up perfectly, nicely centered, gorgeous and attractive design. I've gotten more compliments on this knife than almost any other, just based on the appearance alone. This knife is only $19 if you buy it with something else!




Protech Godfather Maple Burl - $150 (Paypal "friends and family") / $155.25 (Paypal "goods and services") **SOLD**

Full album HERE

My Tuxedo Espada has displaced this beauty as my "off work" knife. It's a shame to let something so gorgeous sit around and not get carried anymore, so it needs a new home. This has been carried and used, but retains 95% of the factory sharpness and has the factory edge. The pocket clip shows more wear than any part of the knife. Fires hard, locks up solidly, centered when closed, classy as f---. No box or papers or anything with this one - just the knife. That's $80 off because of a missing box and some lines on the pocket clip!


Kershaw Ruby 4040 BNIB - $400 (Paypal "friends and family") / $414 (Paypal "goods and services")

Full album HERE

Brand new and perfect in every way. Dead centered, falls closed, shoots open, perfect detent and lockup, completely uncarried and unused, with everything in perfect condition. ZDP-189 blade, KVT bearing system - the works! These sell on eBay for 550ish, and I have it listed there for that much - I'd rather sell it to someone on BF, though, so it's much cheaper here.



Benchmade H&K 14300 Snody Recurve - $90 (Paypal "friends and family") / $93.15 (Paypal "goods and services")

Full album HERE

BNIB, uncarried and unused. Probably the least commonly seen Snody design, certainly in this condition. Smooth pivot, solid lockup, very fun knife. My favorite feature about this knife is that it has a very strong and reinforced tip AND a recurve, which is something you rarely see. It’s a deceptively utilitarian knife. Comes with a very nice box, papers, and bag. Seriously, it felt like I was opening a Böker Tree knife when I saw the nice red bag. Super neat knife.



Benchmade 111H20 BNIB - $100 (Paypal “Friends and Family”) / $103.5 (Paypal “Goods and Services”)

Full album HERE

Brand new in box! Just a catch and release, trying to get back what I have into it. About $10 less than retail price SHIPPED and with verified perfect mechanical function. Falls-closed smoothness, solid lockup, completely unused and uncarried. Comes with box and papers and baggie, all in perfect condition.



Spyderco Manix2 XL BNIB - $100 ( net / PayPal "friends and family") / $103.5 (PayPal "Goods and Services")

Full album HERE

Brand new in box, perfect in every way. Centered, perfect lockup, uncarried, unused, falls-closed smoothness. Box and papers included. I picked this up as a replacement for someone who had bought a Manix2 XL from me previously but it had been lost in the mail - luckily, it turned up at his mailbox before I sent this off to him as a surprise! So, now I have another Manix XL to part with. Just recouping my losses on this one.
