Hi Blade Forums,
4 users for sale. You will find snail trails, scratches, oil, sharpening marks, sharp edges, nicks in titanium, finish wear. These are NOT MINT. If you are looking for immaculate safe queens, I am not your guy.. if you want solid users in excellent working condition, please see below.
To be 100% clear - these range from lightly used, to carried for a few years. None have been abused. While I don’t care about much about aesthetics, I do maintain and care for all my knives functionality.
Prices include fees / delivery - I heavily prefer Zelle, PayPal or MO works too.
I will always try to mail next day, might be up to 3 days before I get to Post Office though.

SOLD Curtiss F3 Medium - CTS XHP compound grind. Asking $425.00
Second owner, very light use. 2 or 3 boxes broken down, stropped, cut a bunch of receipt paper and some paracord. Action is incredible, best detent break ive ever felt ( makes my best Hinderer feel like a benchmade. Nothing against Hinderer or benchmade, love them both immensely). Stonewashed blade, matte silver / bronze handle. Plenty of snail trails. Lock up is early and not going anywhere, hardened D2 lock face plate. Bearings are silky smooth. Centering is good. ZERO play. This is a great example of a Curtiss ( I’ve never actually seen a bad one, He makes incredible tools). This knife performs as you would hope, crisp, sharp, excellent slicer and solid as a fixed blade when open, or closed. I DO NOT HAVE COA Card , can be had for $9 through Curtiss knives though.
SOLD Hinderer XM18 3.5 Choilless Spanto M390. Asking $345.00
Was in my EDC rotation with 3 others for a few years. This knife has been sharpened, could use a strop. I reprofiled edge to about 21 degrees on a KME. The original G10 scale is gone, in place there is a Hinderer made black micarta scale. The clip and filler tab have been replaced with flame anodized clip/tab. The knife is working finish, has seen some work. The lock bar stabilizer is bronze. The detent is medium/medium - kind of light compared to a brand new XM, still works fine, blade won’t pop loose in your pocket. Comes with box, tri way goods, card. Lock up is SOLID- no play. Fires from tab or studs reliably.
The bad. The guy I bought this from might have used locktite on the body screws. I’ve tried to take the scale off, no luck. I’m sure one of you has the tools / know how to remedy this. This one could always be sent to the ranch I guess. I was able to take the blade , bearings out for cleaning without issues. The scale is stuck for now. This knife has the most wear by far. It’s a user, use it. Choilless spanto’s aren’t popping up very often these days.
Les George VECP Gen 2 CTS XHP, Asking $345.00 > $325.00
Second owner. Used, carried and sharpened. Knife is in really good user condition. The edge was not very even from the factory apparently, it cuts like a beast so I haven’t re profiled it. There are snail trails, scratches, stone strike in places on blade. This will come with original spoon clip as well as a Timascus clip. Tip up / down carry. Lock up typical Les George at 60% - ZERO Play. Action is smooth as glass once you get use to the studs. Full sized handle with perfect amount of blade. Excellent grinds. USER.
I might have the box for this one, it’s folded if I do.
SOLD Lefty - Jeremy Robertson Calavera Cutlery El Patron in PD1 steel. Re grind by Josh at REK. Asking $600.00 OBO
You will not see another one of these. This is a lefty El Patrone. This is the later generation with steel lock bar insert. This rides on bearings. Action is crisp once you get use to it. There is absolutely no play in any direction. The handle is bronze, snail trails are plentiful. The blade is made from PD1, it’s tough as it gets. I had the chance to get a re grind spot with Josh at Razor Edge Knives - this is the knife I sent him. The Riccasso was shortened, cutting edge lengthened, flipper re shaped and the knife received a high flat grind on primary and a zero ground tip. This is the sharpest knife I own, or have ever owned. This knife is actually very frightening, so much so I stopped carrying it once I got it back from REK ( didn’t want to chance losing it ). Centering is good, action is good, play is zero and this will cut better than most knives or razors out there. I’m second owner as well, first owner didn’t use it at all. I hope Mr Robertson starts making these knives again some day , they are incredible.
