Hinderer, Strider PT

Tree Herder V · Sep 15, 2019

Hello,
I have two nice knives for trade. (ESV is UNAVAILABLE )

First one is Hinderer Flashpoint. It's an oldie - with Rick Hinderer name on the blade. This one is hollow ground - so from what I read here on bladeforum - it is supposed to be ground by The Man himself.

The knife has been carried and used. There are some light scratches and bead blasting smoothings on the blade and some light staining. The edge is good - with one small nick, that will sharpen out during first sharpening. Lovely blade. Not easy to find nowadays.

The second one is Strider PT folder.
The knife has been modified - it has a custom made carbon fibre scale and backspacer. The original pivot had cross threaded and was replaced with a new one - made by the previous owner. The mechanics on it are so-so. There's bladeplay - both vertical and horizontal. I think it might be improved with some work or a new pivot, but it didn't bother me too much, because the knife is so small that I used it only for light edc tasks. Besides the most comfortable grip on it is when your finger is in the choil - and even if this knife had no lock at all it would still be usable and pretty safe to use. The lock engages quite late - as you can see from the pics.
The blade is bead blasted with some light scratches on it from usage. (the para 3 on one of the pics is only for comparison purpose and it's not for trade). I don’t have the original scale nor the original pivot.

As trade options - I'm interested in Carothers knives (UF, HDFK, EDC2, LC, FK2), Survive GSO new 4.1 in delta 3V or 4.7. Strider smaller fixed blades (especially in Tricon in Psf27 steel or any other tricon - in original size), strider knives in 3V steel, Busse NFNO or public defender or S.O.S., Fehrman Shadow Scout or Last Chance (coated versions), Les George Spartan Blades Dagger, Microtech SOCOM.
I can add $ to make up the difference - if there is one. I'll answer to all offers - but please allow some time due to the time difference.
