Hi everyone. I'm looking for some new steel so here are some knives up for trade. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have about the listing. I can give more details, specs, and pictures if you ask. If you're interested, feel free to contact me through private message or email. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. If you just want a straightforward sale, let me know and I'll have something arranged. Thanks for looking.
For trades, I'm looking for a: Spyderco Lil' Lum, Spyderco Myrtle, Spyderco Nirvana, Striders, Mcustas, BM 51 Morpho, old pivot Umnumzaan, Cold Steel 4-Max, Choil-less Hinderer XM, XM with a harpoon spanto, Emerson Iron Dragon, Emerson Big Bulldog, Super SOCFK, and double action OTFs but I'll be happy to hear other offers. Worst I can do is pass and cash can be added either way.
If you are planning to send me an email through the forum, please post on the thread as well to let me know. Some of those are lost in transit and never reach my inbox.
1. Gavko Mako Midtech - like new
Working finish on the blade
Handle is bronzed and tumbled ti
Feels great in hand
Perfect centering and smooth action
Flips out fast with the flipper but you can still thumb it open or middle finger flick it using the thumbslot
Locks up solid with no play in any direction
2. Valor Mandarin - good condition
I was told that these were made in Miami in the 80's
Channel construction
Pinned
2 wood scales on each handle
Thick 4.5" blade
Has some scratches here and there but I'd say it's in really good shape for a 30+ year old knife
3. Benchmade 300-1 Ball Axis Flipper - brand new in box
First production #15 of 750
Dead mint, I bought it new and it has just sat in it's box for a while
Never carried or used
154CM blade
Blue and black G-10 scales
Opens smoothly with both the thumbstuds and flipper
blade is well centered
4. Benchmade 615 Mini Ruckus - very good condition
Black G-10 and micarta scales
3.4" blade with a 5.1" handle
Majority of the wear is on the coating of the clip
Has a few light scratches on the blade
Needs to be sharpened
Locks up tight, opens smooth, and the blade is dead center
5. Strider WB with Custom Micarta Scales - Used - Sold
Made from thick S30V
First generation with the grippy fine jimping on the spine
Tiger striped blade
The scales are contoured and feel great in hand; was originally cord wrapped
There are scratches on the blade and dings on the spine
Still has a good edge on it and is in good working condition
6. Custom Knife Factory Sablya Relic One-Off - brand new in pouch
This is a Sablya that CKF set aside specifically to be made into a one-off; it isn't a customized numbered Sablya
An incredible amount of work has been put into this one
"Relic" M390 blade; the more you look at it, the more you see
Carbon fiber inlays
Relic finished handle that transitions into an anodized and tumbled rock texture
Flamed body screws
Fast and responsive action; the blade flies open when you pull back on the flipper
Solid lockup and the blade drops freely
Blade sits dead center
Comes with all the paperwork and the padded pouch
