Just sort of testing the waters. Interested in knowing if anyone is interested in trades for the following:

Ivan Campos Capivara
: Definitely a user. There seems to be some fine-grained rust on it that I haven't gotten off, but I'm going to give it a go with some 600 grit later on to see if it's rust or staining of some sort. Hasn't been used much, though, either that or the previous owner(s) did a good job resharpening. Trade Pending

TOPS Street Scalpel: Looks mostly unused, like someone touched it up a bit on the blade. Coating still 100% intact, though. Trade Pending

Almost LNIB Spyderco Endura 4 SS PE: I think it cut one package. All original packaging and whatnot. Withdrawn

NIB Spyderco Swick
. Box is damaged, partially because the knife doesn't quite fit well in the box it came in.Trade Pending

NIB Victorinox Traveller. This is a new model for this year, evidently. It has two blades, two screwdrivers, can opener, bottle opener, wire stripper, reamer/punch, key ring, tweezers, toothpick, scissors, multi-purpose hook and nail file, pressurized ballpoint pen, a stainless steel pin, mini-screwdriver, digital clock w/ alarm, countdown, and timer, altimeter, barometer, and thermometer. Schweet gadgets, not so? It's like a combination of the Altimeter and Voyager models for you SAK aficionados. I am told MSRP is $135.

Anyway, interested in any offers at all for anything. Not sure if I want them to move yet, but interested... trades up or down, customs, productions, whatever.

I'm lazy, but I'll take pictures if someone makes me.
 
Alrighty then. I fixed most of the rust issues on the Capivara. I'm an amateur at refinishing blades, so it's not a complete redo, but it's almost a brushed finish again, with most of the patina and 99.9% of the rust gone. Slashed open my finger doing it. Here are some pictures.

This first one is the Capivara pre-polish job.

This next one is the butt end where some of the paint is flecked off.

And these last two is the result of my attempt at repolishing the blade.

Much better, if I do say so myself.

And this last one is all the knives I currently have. Everything except the Mini Grip is up, better pictures of anything on request. The Capivara in this one is pre-polish.

Trade for the Scalpel and Capivara went through. Both back up.

Interested in Spydie or BM folders, production balis, small, inexpensive custom FBs.
 
Madcap Magician is a great guy to deal with. I got the Capivara very quickly and it was better than described. Thanks!
