I have the following knives for trade. Email offers through my profile - please *do NOT* post any offers here. I'm not on here enough to keep up with things posted in this thread.
Here's the deal: due to life priorities, I've sold and/or traded a lot of my collection, and these are [some of] what's left. Many of these are larger than I'll carry regularly, or duplicates. I've decided to let them go for smaller models, and if you have knives that are between 4" & 4.5" closed, feel free to offer them. I have a list below. Most of mine are carried & used, and I can send pics by email. Some of these I'm not in a particular hurry to trade, but for the right deal I definitely will. I'll add more to this list later on.
What I'm looking for in modern folders:
- Benchmade Ritter Gritpilian (large)
- Browning Ice Storm, straight-handled models
- Emerson CQC-7V
- Kabar Phat Bob, D2 blade steel
- Spyderco Yojimbo, any configuration, but preferably plain edge
- Spyderco stainless Delica, plain edge
- Spyderco Sage models
- Spyderco serrated Pacific Salt, yellow handle only
- Spyderco serrated Atlantic Salt, yellow handle only (I'd REALLY rather have the Pacific model.)
Fixed blades:
- Becker BK-5; Kabar is fine, but a Camillus in Carbon V would make my day
- Boker ORCA
- Kabar Zombie Knives Swabbie
Traditional patterns:
- Canal Street patterns with chestnut wood scales (Trapper or Swell Center Jack, maybe others)
- Great Eastern #53 & 54 patterns
- Imperial shell-handle knives: I'm a sucker for these old knives. If you have any in really good shape, let me know - but I'll tell you up front that I'm picky about these. (Also Colonial, Hammer Brand, others made by Imperial under similar patents)
- Northwoods Jack patterns (Fremont, Burnside, English)
What I have to offer, folders and fixed blades:
- Benchmade #550SBKHG Griptilian: like new, carried a few times but used little. I'd rather have the large Ritter Griptilan.
- Benchmade #275 Adamas: black blade & scales, plain (convexed) edge, used, with box & sheath. I love this one, so it'll take a good offer to get me to part with it. (There are others I want just as much, so I'll trade for the right offer.)
- Camillus #1066 & #1068 lockbacks: "Official Scout Knife" blade etch. Unused but scuffed from years in my knife drawer. With boxes, no sheaths
- FlexCut #JKN88 Whittlin' Jack: pretty much new, with suede leather thumb protector. I use my traditional patterns more often, so this one doesn't get used like I thought it would.
- Kabar Mule: plain edge clip-point, "Toxic Green" handle scales with black inserts
- Kabar Kharon: plain edge tanto point, "Toxic Green" handle scales
- M-Tech Twist, rainbow-anodized: flipped a few times, then put away.
- Meyerco Darrel Ralph EDC: inexpensive piece with carbon fiber scales; bolster & clip heat-colored by previous owner
- Ontario Utilitac II: unused, but not "new in box". This one came with custom scales, I switched it to the black stock scales. Plain edge, uncoated, tanto-point blade.
- Spyderco #C82BK D'allara Rescue: serrated sheepfoot blade
- large lot of inexpensive imports: Many of these came to me through group buys, group trades, as freebies, etc. Modern folders plus a few traditional patterns. Brands represented are Bee, Buck, CRKT, Enlan, Frost, Ganzo, Gerber, Navy, SanRenMu, Smith & Wesson, and probably others. They are all mechanically sound and all are functional: good lock-up and are in used but good-to-great condition (I toss anything that isn't.) I wouldn't mind trading this entire lot for one or two knives or tools. There are at least 22 knives in this box right now, and I'll throw more in as I find them.
Traded and/or withdrawn:
- GEC #721113 Mini-folding hunter [traded to greenstickynote] carried & used very little. This one has the usual very slight up-down play when open. It had the usual side-to-side play as well, but I worked on it and fised the side-to-side play, and it's nice & tight now. Etch is gone off of the blade, removed by previous owner.
- Hogue #EX-01 [traded to The Fort] LNIB; previous owner put used a Wicked Edge and put a nice edge on it. Anodized brown aluminum scales. Has the box as well.
- Kershaw #1840CKT Shallot [traded to jdracing] plain edge, all black, no month/year on blade (I assume newer production, and might be a factory blade replacement?)
- Kershaw #3880BW Thermite blackwash [traded to glocker199] like new, plain edge blade.
- Spyderco #C07GP3 Police 3 [traded to zito] I had no idea this model was as long as it is - at least 1/4" longer closed than the stainless model. I know 1/4" isn't a lot, but even the stainless model was longer than I need.
- SOG #FSA8-CP Flash II [traded to scarabkid] uncoated plain-edge blade, carried but unused.
- Spyderco #C36GPSBK Military [traded to RiverBladeKnife&Fly] LNIB, black G10 handle, black partially serrated blade. Just got this one in a trade, and it turns out the person I was going to gift it to has one. I love this model, but I carry smaller knives.
- Spyderco #C79BK Assist [WITHDRAWN for now] first generation, black handle scales.
- Spyderco #C106BK Tasman Salt hawkbill [WITHDRAWN for now] carried & used, first run with Tasman Salt etched on the blade. Will ship in a #C88SBK box.
