How do i buy used knives here?

Puppadore · Mar 22, 2020

Im looking to buy used fixed knife at $20. Decent for backpack shoulder strap carry, and about 3-4 inches. It is for hiking, and i want a very light one like Esee Izula.

but the forum has for sale section and trade section is empty...

How do people buy used knives? I never bought or sold or traded knives.

thx

For your budget I'd recommend looking at the Mora line of knives, you can buy new, they'll have a larger more comfortable to use handle than an Izula, and come in cabin or stainless.

Here's the link for forum fixed blades also:

Um, there is a ton of knives for sale, are you sure you looked in the right place?

For sale fixed blades should show for you. wanted section will look empty due to your not being allowed to sell(membership level), just buy.
The Mora is a good idea

Thank you. I looked into Morakniv knives, and I actually had one at my garage.

but the handle & sheath are both very fat. Also hard to mount on the shoulder straps of my backpack (California doesnt allow concealed carry of fixed knives, and i wear jackets while hiking)

Could anyone suggest a decent, flatish fix blade with flatish sheath, that i can get for $20?

not moras

Check out Cold Steel and see if they have anything you like. They sometimes run sales on knives that might fit your style. Good luck!

It's hard to find knives that low in price on the exchange here usually since shipping is 25% (or more) of the cost of the knife. A knife for $20 shipped is more like a $14 knife that includes shipping.

I hate to say it but Walmart, Cabelas, or even Amazon might be a better option for you.

Are you close to any stores that stock knives? We might be able to help you find something locally.

As for buying on the exchange, paypal is the preferred choice for online transaction.

Kershaw has a few new for under $20.

You'll have to figure a way to mount the sheath so it's comfortable.

You need to use some paracord to lash it something.

Thank you. I wish I saw the post before purchase. The Kabar one looks good.

i purchases the Cold Steel Mini Tac for $18 from Amazon.
