READ ALL. It’s a lot of info, but it will save time for both of us if you read.

All have factory edges to the best of my knowledge unless otherwise noted. See descriptions. I try to over disclose and provide accurate pictures but if you have any hesitation or questions, ask.

Review all pics. I was fighting lighting. If you need a different pic, let me know.

If you have questions, ask. PM works best.

Payment will be via Google Pay or PP FF. If you need to do PPGS add 3.5%. Prompt payment is expected.

Prices stated are shipped in the US. US shipping only. I ship same or next possible day. If you buy two, take off $5 from total.

Prices firm. Low ballers will be ignored. Not interested in trades. Won't deal with you if you have negative feedback.

I will only sell/ship to places where it is legal to own what you are purchasing. If I can’t verify whether something is legal where you are, you don’t get it. Know your laws. Gray areas mean no.

Generally (as in always in the past) the first to say “I’ll take it” gets it, but I reserve the right to sell to who I wish. Post you will take it in the thread and follow up by PM.

And just a heads up, I am happy to leave feedback for my kickass buyers, but too often I have given feedback without receiving, so if you want feedback, I need feedback first.

Thanks for looking!

Boker Plus Urban Trapper Petite Ti, VG-10, $60
LNIB, very light use, minimal pocket time, centered, ball bearing pivot, no play. Box in great shape. If I didn’t say it was used lightly, you probably couldn’t tell.


Boker Plus Urban Trapper Petite Carbon Fiber, VG-10, $60
Excellent, I am second owner, very light use if any by me, some very light marks on blade, don't think they are even visible in the linked pictures (I didn't see them until I had my flashlight directly on them now), minimal pocket time, favors show side slightly, ball bearing pivot, no play. No box, but adjustment tool comes with it.

Benchmade Bugout, 535, S30V, $105
Excellent. First production run, Molon Labe. Great action, favors clip side maybe a scootch, tight lock up. Light use. Factory edge. Some monkey put mailing tape on the box. But has box etc. Clean. Looking at it, this is another you probably couldn't tell it is used unless I told you. Is nise.

Benchmade 94X, S30V, $135
Very nice piece. A 94X variation that had DOAT scales put on by a prior owner. Good action, solid lock up, centered. Blade has scratches, but frankly think the pictures make it look worse than it is in person. There is one mark on the show side that is more noticeable. Went in to BM Lifesharp for service this spring, has only seen infrequent light use since. Have paperwork. Deep carry clip installed, has marks. BM grey box, found an extra BM bag I can send with it. Love these scales.

Benchmade Valet, 485, M390, $140 $130
Excellent. Lightly carried, lightly used. Another you probably wouldn't know was used unless I told you. Good action, solid lock up, favors clip side very slightly. Factory edge. Has box etc.

Spyderco PM2, S35VN, $130 $120
Excellent. Prior owner was a south paw, so the G10 is smooshed in a bit where he had the clip on that side. He said he did not use it. It has seen only light use with me. Great action, centered, solid lock up. Factory edge. Nice example of the PM2 in a great steal with the brown scales. I noticed when I was taking pics the pivot screw has some marks on it. No idea why. Not stripped. Have box etc.

Spyderco Mantra, M4, $120
Nise. Love this knife, but never use it. Prior owner did, there are marks on the blade as seen in the pics. Minor snail trails in the Ti. Solid lock up. Scootch off center, can be centered, but little too tight for consistent flipping. When I got it I took it apart, cleaned it, lubed it with Nano Oil #10, put it back together, touched up the edge quick on the WE and have just fired it. Love it. Push button flipping. If it doesn't sell first in my other thread, I have a blue RGT Ti clip to replace Spyderco wire clips if buyer is interested for another $40 ($45 shipped separate).

NIB, Digi camo G-10. Huge chunk of S90V goodness.

Boos Blades, Smoke TS1 Obsidian, S35VN, $205 $195
Excellent. Very light use. No marks. If I didn’t say it was used lightly, you probably couldn’t tell. Great action, centered, solid lock up. I am not a coated blade guy, so I am not overly familiar with the variety of finishes out there, but compared to the Grip I have listed above, the blade finish looks a bit grainy. I believe this is consistent with pictures of other Obsidian Smokes I have seen. Check the pics, nothing weird, just noticed it was different from the Grip, full disclosure and all. Has pouch etc. ID card laminate peeling tiny bit on one side. Love these Smokes. Not the only one I have, I am just not a coated blade guy. Tempted my wife though, she said it was dead sexy.

Benchmade Contego, 810-1401, M390, $170 $160
Excellent. Action good, solid lockup. Centered. Blade was engraved, prior owner sent it in to BM to have the blade replaced and have them work their magic. Have paperwork. Came back like new, no engraving on fresh blade. He did not use before passing on to me, and I have not used since receiving. For those who don't know (I did not) the Knifeworks edition of the Contego has knocked down scales, no where near as aggressive as the standard Contego. Box etc.

Benchmade Contego, 810, M4, $170 $160
Excellent. It is actually new in box except that I swapped out the clip screws for some blue ones. Otherwise, the factory oil on the edge is a little smudged here and there, but still there. Unused. Amazing example of the Axis lock action, solid lock up, favors clip side slightly. Maybe a bit of side to side play, can be adjusted out of the pivot. Just beautiful. Osborne knew his stuff. Box etc.

Benchmade 940-1, S90V, $210 $195
Excellent. Great action, tight lock up, centered, beautiful. It's a 940-1. Went in to BM Lifesharp for service this spring, has only seen infrequent light use since. Have paperwork. Deep carry clip. Has box etc. Another one that is super clean, almost LNIB except I did use it. Maybe a tiny knick on top of blade spine, very small, hard to see, can catch it with my nail though.

Spyderco Air, M4, $190 $170

LNIB. A wonderful specimen. Gorgeous. Smooth action, centered, solid lock up. Carried very infrequently, maybe cut something? Do not recall. Probably wouldn't know it was used unless I told you. Have box etc.

Interested in the 810-1401 and/or the valet if you change your mind on trades. If so, please PM me.
I can PM you a list of what I have available if you like.
 
The problem with trades is I would have to get comfortable with the other member. I would also have to decide what I want. I might do a Donnybrook. I might do a Shiro with MRBS if I saw one I liked for little to no cash leaving me. It's complicated. I'm kinda settling into the knives I like, not sure how many more out there I "need." It's tough letting the one's in this list go as it is.
