This is a bit of an interesting knife. It's obviously not new but it's not heavily used either.
I guess I'll start off with the thing I have done to the knife.
1. Dyed the stock brown scale a deep wine red. I can sandblast the color off but I don't know what the texture will be like. That's up to the person I trade this to.
2. sandblasted the Ti side and sanded the peaks to give it a worn/apocalyptic look. I did the same to the pocket clip.
3. heat colored the LBS. It has a bronze/purple color to it now
4. dropped the spine. The pics pretty much explain what it is.
5. added a finger choil to the blade.
The knife deploys very smooth which is to be expected from the bearings. There's no side to side play but there is up/down play. I think if you carbidize the lockbar again it would alleviate the play but I don't have a carbidizer. There are also some light scratches on the left side of the blade right below the spine. That is the only real wear on the knife as far as I can tell.
Since this knife isn't exactly pristine, I'm will to go way down in value but please do not low ball me. Plain edge and CONUS only please.
I'm really getting back into Spydercos so that's what I'm most interested in ATM.
Some that I've been lusting after are.
Spyderco Vallotton
Spyderco Starmate
Spyderco Nilakka
Spyderco Junior
Spyderco Superleaf
Spyderco Southard (maybe?)
Spyderco Tuff (maybe?)
Spyderco Szabo folder
Spyderco Titanium Chinese folder
Spyderco Navaja
Emerson A-100
I'm open to other knives, of course.
