Actually I would be just as interested if not more in an original Spyderco Mini Manix.
A user is fine if it is in pretty good shape but new or like new is preferred. I am not interested in the Manix 2. I really am only looking for an original Manix right now.
I currently have a few lower cost knives to combine for it or one or more and money to make up the rest. Here is what I have to put up for now. I'll post some pics or send to anyone that has interest before I get to getting them all up.
Spyderco Pacific Salt - Has seen minor carry and use. It actually looks better than from the factory with its now tool mark free plus polished spine and "spydie hole". Still looking for the box on this one.
Spyderco Native - S30V made in Golden version. It has seen minor use and has been sharpened and touched up as needed but isn't missing a lot of steel or anything. The previous owner removed the coating from the clip but it looks and performs very close to new. I have no box for this one.
Spyderco Temperance and Trainer - This is the serrated edge version made of VG10. It has seen some use and has some minor scratches in the blade finish. Since it is serrated and has been used so little it has never been re-sharpened. I won't separate these two unless I know I am trading or selling both. No boxes for these at the moment but still looking.
Kershaw Boa - This is the 440V (S60V) version that has never been used to cut or been re-sharpened but it has been refined in a few ways. The liners have had the tool marks removed followed by polishing. All moving parts that contact another were polished more than from the factory and it has a smoother feel that stands out even in an Assisted Opening knife. The unnecessary lock has been removed, the knife stays closed just fine from the few times it was carried without it. More often than not it moved on its own to the locked position when it was not desired. In any case it is included if you disagree and want to put it back which is very easy if you can turn a screwdriver.
I have the box for this one.
Kershaw Storm II - LNIB, has been carried a few times, cut some string and thin tape but still has factory sharp edge.
CKRT Crawford/Kasper Dragon - This knife has been examined a lot but never used to cut anything so it has not been re-sharpened. It is in new condition and I have the box for this one.
I'm not actually against any offers for other knives one for one with any of these less expensive knives but please understand I am mostly trying to find an original Manix in trade right now. Eventually I'll just find one for cash if I have to but the desire for one now is higher than the available cash I can spend on another knife right now.
As far as productions that would be legitimate trades other than a Manix I still usually prefer Spyderco as well as Kershaw/ZT but you never know.
