There is a very good chance that I will not be able to ship anything until Tuesday. Work and all that.
The terms of sale:
READ THIS BEFORE YOU SEND ME A TRADE OFFER:
No serrations, no assisted knives, no knives with cutting surfaces under 3.25"
No fixed blades, no lefty folders, no folders without pocket clips, no folders without locks
No SOG, Ka-Bar, Svord, or Strider.
None of the following steels: 8/9Cr13MoV, 440A/B/C, AUS8, Mystery stainless, 12C27
Things I am actively looking for:
- BNIB Buck Marksman
...Yeah, it's a short list.
I hope that didn't seem too harsh, but I've done this a few times and this just seems to make it considerably smoother for all involved parties. No surprises, no misunderstandings, no confusion.
For the sake of Photobucket bandwidth and thread size consolidation, I have one picture up for each knife and then an album link with more pictures (centering, lockside, lockup, etc). Some pictures have been brightened to better show the lockup and centering.
Kershaw Blur W/ Silver Twill - $115 SOLD
BNIB, as far as I can tell. You’ll have to excuse the (really excessive amount) of dust on this guy - it’s actually paper towel shards from trying to wipe down the DLC(?) coating on the blade. My kingdom for a can of compressed air.
Anyway, it’s smooth, centered, and solid. Fires with authority and looks damned good while doing it. Comes with box and papers (box has a retail sticker on it).
Full Album (and more paper towel fragments) here.
Kershaw TiLT - $550 SOLD
Used, stonewashed lockside, had the factory edge restored by KAI and then set aside. Comes with box, papers, and a spare unmarked clip and screws. Flawless flipping action, smooth pivot, solid lockup, and it’s centered.
Full album here.
Kizers - $110 each, or $200 for both. BOTH SOLD
Both come with boxes, have been carried, and have seen light use. The edges were stropped and are exceptionally keen. There are very faint marks on the blades (can’t even see them in the pictures) and a few more pronounced ones on the handles, especially around the pivots. Both are ever so slightly off center, but have not moved after quite a few cycles and some use.
So, a quick word about these: These are the smoothest non-bearing knives I have ever handled. They glide out effortlessly and lock up perfectly. The flipper flips with absolutely no wrist action whatsoever. The one with the fuller and anodized handle is so smooth and fast you’d swear the pivot was loose - but it isn’t.
I really enjoyed carrying and using both of these. They didn’t see any rough use, and I’ve since changed my carry once again - so off they go.
Full album here.
CRKT Mah Erasers - both cutomized, both $90 each. BOTH SOLD
I bought two of these. And then customized them. And then had scales made for them. And then had the factory scales on one polished. Then I didn’t carry them more than twice each because they’re too long to legally carry and SO PRETTY.
No, really. Check out the full album for these two, even if you have no interest in them. They’re pretty.
The centering on both of these are a little off, but that can be adjusted out. Both come with boxes.
Number one: SOLD
Stock clip, polished washers, solid lockup, decent centering, amazing flipping action. There’s a little paint wear around the edges of the clip. Emerald Twill scales done by Rival. Original scales included.
Number two:
Not the factory clip (didn’t want black on black for this one), but the original clip, which has the ugliest anodization job I’ve ever done, is included. Blade was ground unevenly (off center from the center of the blade stock) and was re-profiled to 35 degrees inclusive. G-10 scales were polished and smoothed, LAWKs was taken out and replaced with a nylon washer (much smoother now). Perfect flipping action and lockup, unnecessarily sharp, stunning good looks.
Hogue EX-04 3.5” - $RElisted
Second owner, LNIB. I can’t see any real signs of use or carry. Smooth pivot, centered blade, locks up tight, factory polished edge. Got this in a trade, but don’t really have a place for it in my rotation at the moment.
Full album here.
Lionsteel SR1AOR - $140 SOLD
Comes with box, tool, and card. Carried and used by the previous owner, I took the clip off and put it back (tried to put the glassbreaker screw on my Lionspy, heh. It worked, just didn’t look all that different.), cleaned, lubed, smooth pivot, solid lockup. I just ended up liking my LionSpy better.
The handles on this are unreal. Look at that. JUST LOOK AT IT.
Full album here.
Spyderco Paramilitary - $100 SOLD
Brand new, no box. Some dust on the handles, but no marks. Why $100 if there’s no box?
Because it’s perfect.
Perfect pivot. Perfect centering. Perfect lockup. Entirely unused. Clip hasn’t even been moved. Bank vault lockup on a PM2 is like finding an albino unicorn, but much more portable and considerably less unsettling.
Full album here.
Emerson Mini CQC-15 - $Unlisted
I’m in no rush to get rid of this one, clearly. Polished green anodized Ti thumb disc, green G10 custom scales, extra thick phosphor bronze washers, bronze skullcrusher backspacer. Centered, smooth, and solid. Comes with box, and original backspacer and scales.
Check out the album. I honestly basically just posted this to show off. The blade has a triple finish - Stonewashed flats, satin grind, polished edge. I really like this knife. If it sells for that much, that’s just gravy, but I’m really not entertaining offers.
Full album here.
Spyderco SpydeRench - $150 SOLD
A little piece of Spyderco history, like new in box. The box and papers have actually yellowed a little bit from age. Comes with box and manual (not just some blurb about the knife, an actual manual). Uncarried and unused, but with some faint handling marks (just from making sure everything functions properly)
Full album here.
Spyderco Native CTS-XHP - $90 SOLD
BNIB, with vault lockup and perfect centering. I was thinking about switching this out for my Echelon, but I ended up choosing a different one instead.
Full album here.
Manix 2 110V Lightweight - $125 SOLD
I would argue this is the best cutting tool on the market. Buttery smooth action, rock solid lockup, fantastic ergonomics, incredible steel… I bought two the day they were announced and am keeping one. The other one was either going to my roommate or to become sale/trade fodder, and my roommate wasn’t impressed (the fool!).
Full album here.
Benchmade 7505-132 - $Relisted
Mint.

The terms of sale:
- No lowball offers. That doesn't mean "I know you said no low offers, but" - it means no lowball offers. The reason for this is twofold; my PM inbox will fill up in about two minutes with ridiculous offers, and they're already at pretty good prices.
- I do not accept personal checks or money orders. Paypal only.
- ConUS only. Please refer to your local laws. 18 and older only. I can ship internationally if the buyer both pays the shipping and accepts that all risk falls on the buyer once it leaves my hands. I haven't had any issues, though.
- The first "I'll take it" followed by an email/PM gets it. If there isn't a post saying "I'll take it", the item is still available unless otherwise noted, so go ahead and send me an email/PM. Emails are far and away the most preferred method of communication.
