I have the following knives for sale.

Prices posted are what you pay, no hidden last second shipping fees or over-exaggerated paypal add-ons here.
(Yes, I, as the SELLER, will pay the paypal SELLERS FEE of 2.9%, in order to protect us both).

First unconditional "I'll take ___" followed by EMAIL notice (for sale confirmation and paypal instructions) gets the knife. Please post your claim in this sales thread to avoid confusion. Otherwise email me for questions or picture requests.

If you intend to claim a knife, please see the fine print below. There's nothing funny or unusual there, I just want to make my sales terms absolutely clear.

I haven't had a bad sale/trade/buy yet, in nearly a decade here, and I don't intend to start now. Check my feedback.

------------------------------------------------
First off, a Three Sisters Forge Beast
This knife has been used and carried, but is in great condition. It was recently sent back to the maker for the following upgrades/repairs: new bushings, new pivot, new thumbstud, new pivot screw (the newest version), sharpening, and gentle rounding of the handle (which makes it not only much more comfortable to hold, but also allows easier access to the thumb stud and lock). A previous owner put a very slight sharpening notch at the base of the edge, and there are a few pretty noticeable scratches on the clip (see pics), otherwise it's in very good condition and I have not touched it since it came back from the maker.
Asking $OLD

Next is a Sniper Bladeworks Micro LPC.
I recently snagged this off the forums, lightly used and carried, and it's just not for me. The previous owner stated that it had just come back from the maker for a sharpening and tuneup and I have no reason to doubt that. Please note the edge is not completely flat, it came that way from the maker, but it is very sharp. I'm sure there are some minor snail trails (as all titanium handles get seemingly when exposed to air), and a light scuff near the spine (likely from being clamped in a wicked edge sharpener) but it's otherwise in good condition with nothing significant to report. Thick 1095 blade with very nice hamon, mirrored edge, bronze thumbstud. These went for $550 new.
Asking $190 shipped

Purchase Conditions

-By purchasing any item, the buyer agrees that they are of legal age to own and purchase knives, and are in full compliance with applicable laws regarding shipment of knives to their location.

-I reserve the right to refuse sale, at my discretion, without explanation, just as you reserve the right to purchase from who you like.

-Payment is expected within a reasonable timeframe, roughly 24 hours unless other arrangements are made. I understand not everyone (including myself) lives on their phones/computers.

-Paypal preferred, but other arrangements are also acceptable, email me for details.

-CONUS shipping only, unless arrangements are made by email prior to final sale. I'm happy to ship internationally provided the buyer pays the shipping difference and accepts responsibilty for the item once it leaves my hands. I will not lie on customs forms.

-If I can save money on shipping multiple items to the same location I will pass those savings on to you.

-Returns are accepted only if you can reasonably convince me that I missed something in my description/pictures, and only if the item is returned in it's original condition (no bent lock bars, stripped screws, etc.) Buyer pays return shipping, and if I concur that the fault is mine I'll gladly refund shipping costs. I do my best to describe these, but I know it sucks to get something that was significantly not as described. However, if you mess with it, you buy it.

-I will do my best to ship quickly, but depending on how many knives I have for sale and how quickly they sell, it may take a few days (less than a week) to ship. My nearest post office is towns away, I can not/will not make that journey daily for each single knife.

Thanks for looking

Ok, now that I lost all my descriptions, let's do it again. . .

Spyderco Military, Sprint run CTS-XHP steel. Used, carried and sharpened. I snagged this off the forum to see what a Military felt like. I like it, but I don't often carry folders this large, and if I feel the need to, my Ulize and Tatanka have me covered. Some slight marks (pen?) on the g-10 handle and one stripped handle screw (there is evidence a previous owner used red loctite, a big no-no), but the knife can still be- and has been- disassembled by both myself first then and spyderco warranty/repair (by working around that one stripped screw) to fix some vertical lock play it came with. It was returned from Spyderco in much better condition than it was sent, but there's still a small amount of vertical play if you muscle it, similar to how most lockbacks feel. The blade tang where the lock engages is properly radiused instead of having a flat slope, so there's little to no chance of it fully disengaging. I'm quite certain if you explained the situation spyderco would be happy to fix it again better, or replace it, I just don't want to spend more time and effort on a knife I don't plan to keep, and unless you muscle it the wrong direction you likely won't notice. Besides those 2 notes it's in great condition with no blade scratches. Comes with box and papers.
Asking $OLD


Next up, a Wilson Combat ELC Elite (#193), with starburst titanium handle, Elmax steel, and Wilson blue backspacer. Lightly carried and used, probably just stropped, the edge looks original but I can't remember for certain. No scratches, issues, or even snailtrails that I can perceive. A great knife, very solid and ergonomical, I just happen to prefer my g-10 version. Comes with box
Asking $175 shipped

Two Kershaw Zings
I've had both of these in a drawer for nearly a decade. Both discontinued. One tanto in faux g-10, linerlock, manual opening, 14C28N steel. Likely I carried it at some point, but it's in great shape and the edge appears original. One stainless framelock drop/spear point in 8Cr13MoV, de-assisted (also has a very weak detent as a result). It's unlikely I kept the spring but I can look. Really not a fan of assist. Edge on the framelock is a bit blunted toward the tip, tip is fine though. Otherwise no scratches or issues on either. Both have flat ground blades, none of the ripple grind that goes voooompa voooompa and gets stuck in cardboard everytime you try to open a box. Quick edge touch up on the framelock and both could pass for close to new. No boxes (I'll look if some feels they're important, but it's unlikely I'll find them).
$30 for the tanto, $20 for the framelock
