Hey BF! For sale are three very nice Spydercos that have survived several winnowing cycles in my increasingly distilled-down collection. Although I REALLY like all three of these gems, I'm funding another purchase and these need to find new homes. Accordingly, I'm not looking for any trades on these. All three knives have been regularly carried, lightly used, and well cared for.
Kapara - This is the CQI version with pivot bushings. I had the original version of the Kapara, and it was fantastic. The CQI version is even better, with unbelievably smooth opening/closing action and spot-on centering. The knife is beautiful condition....I can't see any blemishes anywhere on the blade or scales. Original factory edge has only been stropped.

Native Chief - A big, long blade and handle, but amazingly light and easy to carry and a slicey edge, to boot. Hands down my favorite "big" Spyderco knife. The action is as smooth as a back-lock gets, with down-the-middle centering. As with the Kapara, the edge has only been stropped. The only blemish I can see is very slight wear marks on G-10 scales below the blade hole on the non-clip side.

Gayle Bradley 1 (with Cocobolo custom scales by Suingab) - Definitely the sentimental favorite of these three, and just such a nice knife. I've sharpened this several times and brought the edge angle down to about 17 degrees on each side. Truth be told, my initial reprofiling was a bit of a rookie effort and there is distinctly more bevel width near the tip, as I didn't position the blade optimally in the KME clamp. The M4 steel blade has been well protected with EDCi formula, and there are only just the slightest signs of patina along the spine and just above the spider logo. The cocobolo wood scales are beautiful, with the only flaw being a little dent near the spine on the clip side. The clip shows some typical some wear along its edges. No original box on this one, I'll ship it in another Spyderco box. Hmmm, it's really hard to price this one, but I think what I'm asking is reasonable. If anyone thinks I'm way off, shoot me a PM.
