The terms of sale:
READ THIS BEFORE YOU SEND ME A TRADE OFFER:
No serrations, no assisted knives, no knives with recurves or cutting surfaces under 3.25"
No fixed blades, no lefty folders, no folders without pocket clips, no folders without locks
No SOG, Ka-Bar, Svord, Strider, or Emerson
None of the following steels: 8/9Cr13MoV, 440A/B/C, AUS8, Mystery stainless, 12C27
I hope that didn't seem too harsh, but I've done this a few times and this just seems to make it considerably smoother for all involved parties. No surprises, no misunderstandings, no confusion.
For the sake of Photobucket bandwidth and thread size consolidation, I have one picture up for each knife and then an album link with more pictures (centering, lockside, lockup, etc). Some pictures have been brightened to better show the lockup and centering.
Hinderer 3.5" XM-18 Sterile 20CV Flipper Blue/Black G10 - $700
Catch and release. This is the ideal Hinderer, if you ask me. It has no ugly writing on the blade, the blade steel is Duratech 20CV, it actually flips well, has early bank vault lockup, and is centered. It also has the most satisfying lockup noise I've ever heard - a nice little click that, for no reason I can quite put my finger on, reminds me of a fine watch. There are no marks I noticed on the handle or scale, but there does appear to be some very faint hairline marks near the tip that I had an exceptionally hard time getting the camera to pick up and just gave up after about 5 minutes of trying to play with different angles of light. I TRIED, OKAY? Also, I believe this is a Gen IV based on the scale and the stop pin (spine side, goes all the way across).

I also have a Large CF Insingo Sebenza for sale here.
- No lowball offers. That doesn't mean "I know you said no low offers, but" - it means no lowball offers. The reason for this is twofold; my PM inbox will fill up in about two minutes with ridiculous offers, and they're already at pretty good prices.
- All items are listed with prices that assume paypal gift and include priority shipping with tracking. If you want to use Goods and Services (which is perfectly reasonable!) please add 3.5%. If you send payment via paypal goods without adding 3.5%, I will refund the money minus the 3.5% that is automatically deducted and impossible for me to otherwise get back if I refund the full amount. (Basically, refunding a paypal goods payment in full costs me the 3.5%. I've been burned on this in the past, and it's happened way too many times.)
- I do not accept personal checks or money orders. Paypal only.
- ConUS only. Please refer to your local laws. 18 and older only. I can ship internationally if the buyer both pays the shipping and accepts that all risk falls on the buyer once it leaves my hands. I haven't had any issues, though.
- The first "I'll take it" followed by an email/PM gets it. If there isn't a post saying "I'll take it", the item is still available unless otherwise noted, so go ahead and send me an email/PM. Emails are far and away the most preferred method of communication.
