PayPal or Square Cash only, please. I generally go with the first "I'll take it," but I do reserve the right to sell to whomever I choose. "I'll take it" needs to happen in the thread, followed by a PM. Items will ship via USPS First Class Mail 2 business days after payment. Will only ship to the address provided in PayPal if goods and services is used. Thank you.

If you can't pm in blade forums, then you'll need to provide your email address in the thread, so I can contact you. Visitor messages don't work well for me. Of course, you can go back later and edit it out. Thank you.

Any side to side play? And how is the pull sir?

I'd say no problem with the pull. It's stiff, but not too stiff. About perfect for what most people would want, I think. At any rate, it's not light and not a bear trap. I've not noticed any side-to-side. But I've never been one to really "test" for that unless someone asks, so it's possible. I could look at it later tonight, but there is someone who has "seconds" on this. Please advise.

Well if your not willing to test for blade play before shipping then give it to the next guy.

Well, it's not really about whether or not I'm "willing." The knife is not in front of me at this moment. It's at home and I'm not at home. I'd be willing to test it, but I can't. The issue is whether you're willing to buy it with the information provided at the time you said you'd "take it." Since there appears to be someone else waiting to buy it, based on the information provided, I feel an obligation to move on to the next person in line if you are not sure you want it at this time. I'm not trying to hide any aspect of the knife. I'm just trying to move forward in the sales thread if you are unsure. I understand you wanting more information--no problem. But I hope you understand the other side of this--that there is someone else who called "seconds" if you will. I'll go ahead and offer it to Dave and see if he wants it as presented here. Thank you.

I feel like you should be able to answer a simple F@F question about a knife if asked. I know whether any knife in my collection has play or not. Its my responsibility when i sell to inform the buyer being its not a face to face.

It's fine that you feel that way, C ChefCallari . It's good to express your feelings.
I don't know which, of my 100+ pocket knives, have some side-to-side. Side-to-side is not something I care about or test for. If this is important to you, I can understand you asking. But you have to allow enough understanding for those of us who don't care. Some may not care about some side-to-side, but are really bothered by rough transitions, etc. The problem here is not that you are worried about side-to-side, nor that I have no idea as to the answer in the very moment. The problem here is...and I'll say this as politely as possible...that someone "called it" first and asked questions second.

Please know, that when you call a knife in the Exchange, you are expected make good on that. Translation: if you have questions about a knife for sale, ask them before you call "I'll take it." I did not get bent out of shape that you called "I'll take" and then asked questions and added conditions later. The irony here is that you have taken the situation and turned it on its head by suggesting that I have done something wrong here. The problem here is that you "called it" first and asked questions afterwards. Not an unforgivable thing, but please do not twist it into ME doing something wrong. Thank you.
