Hi everyone. I'm on the hunt for some new steel so here are some knives up for trade. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have about what you see. 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 we can have something worked out. Thanks for looking.
For trades, I'm looking for a: Spyderco Lil' Lum, Spyderco Nirvana, Striders, Microtechs, Chris Reeves, a choil-less Hinderer XM, XM with a harpoon spanto, Emerson Big Bulldog, Emerson Aftershock, Super SOCFK, and a Graham Razel folder 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 - Traded
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. A.R.S. Flip Shank - like new
Tough little folder with a 2' cutting edge
Front side of the handle is milled and textured coyote brown G-10
Stonewashed blade and lockside
Liquid smooth action, tight lockup with no play in any direction, and perfect centering
4. CRKT BT-70 - brand new in box
Bob Terzuola design
Blade is a 4" multigrind tanto
I bought this one new from Blade HQ but never carried or used it
Blade sits dead center, locks up with no play in any direction, and the action is smooth
Feels great in hand
5. Emerson Commander BTS - brand new in box
Serial number 12730
2013 model with standoffs
Never carried or used
Smooth action and solid lockup
Center favors the lockside but it doesn't rub the liner
Will arrive with everything you see
6. Emerson SARK BT - brand new in box
Serial number 1476
Made in 2011 with a backspacer
Rescue knife with an unsharpened tip
Great fit and finish on this one
Centering is perfect, lockup is rock solid, and the action is very smooth
7. Emerson Super CQC-7B BT - brand new in box
Serial number 3287
Made in 2013 with a backspacer
Another great example of an Emerson
Solid lockup, good centering, and smooth action
8. Emerson Endeavor SF - like new in box
Serial number: 374
Made in 2013
Limited availability knife from EKI
I can't find a flaw on it, perfect example of an Emerson
Very comfortable in hand
Smooth opening and perfect centering
Comes with all original packaging
