I'll be here to answer any questions you might have about what's listed. For more details, specs, or pictures, ask and ye shall receive. You can reach me through private message or email. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. I can work with you on the price for some of these and I'm open to trades. Prices include all shipping and Paypal fees in the US. I'll be happy to ship international but the buyer will need pay via F&F, assume all risks, and cover the cost of shipping. Thanks for your time.
For trades, I'm looking for a: Spyderco Lil' Lum, Spyderco Myrtle, Spyderco Nirvana, Striders, Mcustas, BM 51 Morpho, old pivot Umnumzaan, Cold Steel 4-Max, Choil-less Hinderer XM, XM with a harpoon spanto, Emerson Iron Dragon, Emerson Big Bulldog, Emerson Patriot, Super SOCFK, and double action OTFs but I'll be happy to hear other offers. Worst I can do is pass and cash can be added either way.
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 inbox.
1. Gavko Mako Midtech - like new - $500
Working finish on the blade
Handle is bronzed and tumbled ti
Feels great in hand
Perfect centering and smooth action
Flips out fast with the flipper but you can still thumb it open or middle finger flick it using the thumbslot
Locks up solid with no play in any direction
2. Valor Mandarin - good condition - $100
I was told that these were made in Miami in the 80's
Channel construction
Pinned
2 wood scales on each handle
Thick 4.5" blade
Has some scratches here and there but I'd say it's in really good shape for a 30+ year old knife
3. Benchmade 300-1 Ball Axis Flipper - brand new in box - $130
First production #15 of 750
Dead mint, I bought it new and it has just sat in it's box for a while
Never carried or used
154CM blade
Blue and black G-10 scales
Opens smoothly with both the thumbstuds and flipper
blade is well centered
4. Spyderco Military Sprint - near mint - $175 --> Sold
Blade is made from CPM-Cruwear
Gray G-10 scales
Blade is marked "141V"
Has some light scratches on the clip but other than that I don't see many other signs of wear
Lockup is rock solid and centering is good
Smooth action
5. Emerson CQC-7B BTS - very good condition - 100
Serial number 6486
2009 version with a spacer
Wave-less
The knife has been carried and used but most of the wear is on the clip
There are a few marks in the coating of the blade
Lockup settled a bit late but it's very solid and doesn't seem to move any farther; there is no up-and-down play
Centering is perfect and the action is very smooth
6. Strider WB with Custom Micarta Scales - Used - $190 --> Sold
Made from thick S30V
First generation with the grippy fine jimping on the spine
Tiger striped blade
The scales are contoured and feel great in hand; was originally cord wrapped
There are scratches on the blade and dings on the spine
Still has a good edge on it and is in good working condition
