For Trade: Benchmades, Spydercos, a SOG, and a Vintage Al Mar, Some Rare

[ShadyMethods]

Hi everyone. I'm looking for some new steel so here are some knives up for trade. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have about the listing. I can give more details, specs, and pictures if you ask. If you're interested, feel free to contact me through private message or email. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. If you just want a straightforward sale, let me know and I'll have something arranged. Thanks for looking.

For trades, I'm looking for an: Spyderco Ulize, Spyderco Tuff, SpydieChef, Spyderco Nirvana, Strider PT, BM 610 Ruckus, Serge Panchenko knives, Cold Steel 4-Max, CQC-7 Flipper, Emerson Big Bulldog, Emerson Iron Dragon, and a Zero Tolerance 0454 but if you have other offers, I'm happy to hear them. I'll trade up or down and cash can be added either way. Worst I can do is pass.

If you are planning to send me an email through the forum, please post on the thread as well to let me know. Some of those are lost in transit and never reach my mailbox.

1. Benchmade Hunt 15060-2 Grizzly Creek - brand new in box - Traded
First production #306 of 360
Never carried or used
Smooth action and sold lockup
Comes with all the original packaging

2. Benchmade 630BK Skirmish - near mint
No snail trails on either side of the handle
Blade slightly favors the lock side
There is a small spot on the coating of the blade
Liquid smooth action and solid lockup

3. Benchmade 420S Resistor Prototype - brand new in box
Mike Snody design
Blade is marked "Prototype Dec. 2003"
154CM steel
Dead mint, never carried or used
Comes with all the original packaging

4. Spyderco Tuffram Civilian - very good condition
Original 1993 version that's been long discontinued
Aluminum handles with rubberized inlays in both the front side and clip
4"+ blade in G-2 stainless
Edges of the handle are polished
There are some marks in the handle and some spots on the blade that might come off. I don't believe that it's rust.
The blade has some faint scratches and the tip could use a light touch-up.
Overall, I'd say it's in great shape, especially for a blade this old.

5. Spyderco Rubicon - brand new - Traded
Contoured carbon fiber handle scales
3.03" blade
Orange G-10 pivot collar and backspacer
Flips great and runs smooth on ball bearing
Never carried or used
Comes with only the knife

6. Spyderco Introvert - brand new in box
I had an issue with a Spyderco I bought a while back and sent it in to get serviced. They couldn't fix it so I asked to have this one sent as a replacement. It is dead mint and straight from the factory. I am the first owner and it has not been carried or used. If you wanted a brand new Introvert, this is your chance.
Lockback flipper that can be easily opened with the Spydie hole as well
Perfect centering, smooth action, and rock solid lockup
Thin profile but feels solid

7. SOG TF-5 Trident in Desert Tan - brand new in box
Assisted with a safety
Never carried or used
Partially serrated blade
Arc lock
Blade is dead center
Comes with all the original packaging

8. Al Mar The Back Up II - like new in box
Long discontinued model from 1997
Fully serrated 3" blade
Has some storage marks but other than that, mint
Feels very solid; locks up tight with absolutely no play in any direction
Perfectly centered blade
Comes with all the original packaging and even the box is near mint
