Looking to trade any or all of these for some traditional slip joint folders, not into modern folders much anymore so going to start trading and selling some of the ones I am willing to let go of.
Kershaw Blur S30V
Been carried, sharpened, and used a little, has some light scratches on the clip, blade and handle in excellent shape.
Torsion bar has been removed to make this one a manual folder, action is very smooth and the detent is strong, but torsion bar can be installed easily for assisted operation.
Lock-up solid, no blade play, blade well centered.
Kershaw Skyline
Carried, sharpened, and used some, looks new, no dings or scratches, I switched the pocket clip to tip-up carry but can be switched back to tip down.
Lock-up solid, no play, blade well centered.
Buck Vantage Paperstone
This is the full size Vantage with I think either 420HC or Sanvic steel, not sure which.
Never carried or used, but did sharpen it once after purchase.
Lock up very tight, no blade play and its well centered. Like new condition.
Fallkniven U2
Not sure I really want to trade this one, it never gets carried or used, but is very nice and extremely sharp. I spent a lot of time thinning out and convexing the thick edge this knife came with new, the laminated SGPS steel isn't easy to reprofile but it turned out well and is a pocket scalpel.
It has some very light scratches on the softer sides of the blade from what little use it has seen, has a nice leather lanyard on it, blade is centered, has a very slight bit of blade play, pretty normal for these knives, could probably be handled by tightened pivot screw, but I never tried, doesn't bother me any.
What I am looking for
Boker Trappers, carbon steel
Sheffield Lambsfoot
GEC folders, carbon steel
Eye Brand knives, carbon steel
Case Sway Back Jack CV
May consider other carbon steel slip-joints, just let me know what you have, will consider some Bark River and Blind Horse fixed blades.
Users are fine with me, they will all be used so I don't mind.
