I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I’ve decided I’m going to go ahead and pull the trigger on selling all but a select few of what was an already distilled-down collection. It took me several years and a few cycles of building up and then pruning back to where I ended up before posting this.....what I think are 13 really excellent knives. Of these 13, I’m going to hang on to just five knives that are regular users and/or sentimental favorites.
I think my pricing is good on these knives, so my asking prices are firm, Prices given are with payment by PayPal G&S, but I'll knock off 3% or thereabouts with PayPal F&F payment. I'll also do discounts for multiple purchases going to the same shipping address. All shipping will be by USPS Priority to CONUS only. What else? Oh yeah, obviously I'm not looking for trades.
Stay tuned in the next day or two for some really nice non-Spyderco knives I’ll be parting with.
Gayle Bradley 2 + custom snakewood scales by Suingab
video - https://photos.app.goo.gl/eVsFjiwS1cYi4Nsg7
I love Gayle Bradley’s knife designs, and in fact, the GB Air (my wedding day carry) is going to be my Bradley keeper. I was initially thinking this GB2 wasn’t going to go anywhere, as well, but decided to stick to my ruthless cut-down. I got these amazing snakewood scales by Suinbab, another great eastern European maker of knife scales. I also got a Lynch NW deep carry clip, which is included, but liked the knife with the original black standard Spyderco clip better. Original scales are also included.
Although I used EDCi formula on the M4 steel blade, it managed to get a little bit of patina around the spidey logo and the top of the swedge, but nothing too bad. I actually kinda like it. Otherwise, condition is great. I sharpened it nicely to about 17 degrees each side with a TSProf Kadet sharpening system and Venev Orion stones down to 1200 grit and have kept the blade stropped.
I’m asking $240 for the Gayle Bradley 2, Suingab snakewood scales, and other items outlined above.
Native Chief S90V steel and carbon fiber scales
video - https://photos.app.goo.gl/bwdP6UD44FG6HZTt7
This is (was) my longest folding knife blade at 4”, but it carries amazingly small in the pocket. I’m a huge fan of this iteration of the Spyderco Native, with an incredibly slicey S90V steel. Includes Lynch NW deep carry clip.
I also sharpened up this Native Chief to about 17 degrees each side with the TSProf Kadet sharpening system and Venev Orion stones down to 1200 grit and have kept the blade stropped. The action on this Native Chief is fantastic, which is not always the case with a back lock. It spydie-flicks easily and blade drops when lock is released.
I’m asking $210 for the Native Chief S90V and Lynch clip.
Chaparral w birds-eye maple scales

My favorite version of the Chaparral, which for me is saying a lot. Just a great, great small knife and damn good-looking, to boot. I put a mirror edge on this Chaparral with the aforementioned TSProf, Venev Orion stones, and several strop blocks down to 0.4 micron. Similar to the Native Chief, the action on this Chappie is very smooth, with easy spydie-flicking and blade release when back lock is pressed.
I'm asking $165 for the Birds-eye Maple Chaparral.
SOLDPM2 Tanto + custom carbon fiber scales by Aramis SOLD
video - https://photos.app.goo.gl/bm3zEiY15aPZj6ZB6
It’s just about impossible these days, other than paying eBay scalping prices, to get the PM2 Tanto or Aramis scales separately, and I’m pretty sure this particular killer combo is completely unobtainable, except right here. In my opinion, Aramis Akhmedov does the nicest carbon fiber scales I’ve seen, and the Spyderco’s execution of the tanto blade on the PM2 is about good as a tanto gets, with a really nice compound grind. This set-up also includes a Lynch NW deep carry clip, and the original PM2 scales and clip are included. I also will throw in an extra set of PM2 satin hardware (pivots and screws) that I found in my drawer.
Condition on the PM2 blade and scales is superb. I’ve carried this, but haven’t really used it, other than to open a few packages. No blemishes on scales and blade that I can see. I’ve only stropped the factory edge. Perfect centering and action to die for….
I’m asking SOLD$300 for the PM2 Tanto, Aramis CF scales, and other items outlined above.
Thanks for checking out (and bearing with) this long-winded post. As I mentioned earlier, I'll be posting some great non-Spyderco knives tomorrow or the next day. Stay tuned....
