Hello everyone. Time to take my new Platinum membership out for a spin. Got a bunch here, so stay tuned.
Fine print first: PP preferred. MOs are fine, too. I'll cover PP fees, shipping, insurance, D/C. PM me with any questions. And thanks for your interest.
Trade possibilities: Low serial # ZTs (below 200-250 or so) and High End Kershaws. Looking for a ZT 0500 MUDD in particular. Perhaps also a 0610.
-----------------------------
Nearly new Mercworx Equatorian. Never used or sharpened, but it has been around. There is a little snail trail on the side of one handle (see 3rd pic. Because of the lighting, it is actually more pronounced in the pic. It's really not that noticeable in person). This thing is a MONSTER. Total length of 14 inches. 9 inch blade. 8 inch cutting edge. 1.25 lbs. s30v steel. Breaks my heart to let it go, but my safe just isn't big enough anymore. 400 to your door. TRADED




Next up, a Strider DB-L and a David Dempsey custom. The Strider hasn't ever really been used. Has been sharpened on my WE; 40 degrees on the blade, 46 on the tanto. A little sheath rub is about all that is amiss. Includes two sheaths: the factory sheath and a custom that is excellent--the retention is perfect IMO and comes with the large TEC LOK. I put this together to carry around the farm, but then got a DGG SMF with a nice belt sheath and ended up preferring that instead. s30v steel. 250 to your door.
This David Dempsey has been lightly used--enough to warrant a sharpening. Really in pretty nice shape. Biggest issue is some sheath scuffing. Steel is s30v and is 6 inches long. Total length is just about 11 inches, and the blade looks to be 7/32nds of an inch thick. The top of the spine has also been sharpened. Both edges are shaving sharp. Ergos are good, and there is thumb jimping on the spine.
My understanding is that Dempsey was a respected maker back in the day. But he has disappeared from the knife scene since. The sheath is set for horizontal carry. Don't really know how to price this one, so let's give 235 a whirl.

I thought Platinum membership had it's privileges, but apparently I still only get five pics per post. More to follow.
