Still trying to pin down what I'm looking for. The last run through the exchange netted some awesome finds, and some asking around led to some very good suggestions. So, I'm putting a bunch up for sale, but I'm really looking to trade so I can skip the middleman. Cash works too, though.
The terms of sale:
For the sake of bandwidth and thread size, I have 1-2 pictures per knife and links to photobucket albums for each knife with more pictures, including centering and lockup shots.
TRADES:
Im primarily looking for trades! I picked up most of these off of the exchange, and Im selling them to get different knives, so I would rather skip the middleman if possible. Things Im interested in:
Specific knives:
- I really like framelocks, even better if they're Ti Framelocks with lockbar inserts.
Anyway, on to the knives:
Spyderco Manix2 LW 110V w/box signed by Sal Glesser - $80 net - $82.8 goods SOLD
Full Album HERE
Carried, used, sharpened more than once. Action is buttery smooth, lockup is rock solid. Edge is kinda ugly and not that sharp at present.
Zero Tolerance 0801 - $140 net / $144.9 goods SOLD
Full Album HERE
Carried, used lightly, pocket clip thats currently on it is from a different knife I had that suffered a longboard wipeout. I kinda like how it wore in the incident, so I kept the clip. This comes with a replacement clip. The action is perfect, as is the lockup and centering. This knife is really, really, really nice. I almost didnt sell it, but a revamp is a revamp and an uncarried knife is just stagnant money.
Kizer 5401A1 - $140 net / 144.9 goods SOLD
Full Album HERE
I had two of these, absolutely mint in box. Sold one already. It flips wonderfully and has perfect and early lockup. It has not been used, carried, sharpened, or even tampered with except for my having applied a little nano-lube on the pivot and ceramic detent ball just to see how smooth it would flip.
It was really smooth. Ceramic detent balls are the business.
Anyway, these come with their boxes and papers. I suggest checking out the album, as some of the shots are just pretty.
Spyderco Lefty Military CC# 120v - $90 net / $93.15 goods SOLD
Full album HERE
Carried more than used - factory edge, solid lockup, well centered, smooth pivot action, no box. I picked this up off this very exchange not noticing it was a lefty, so it got a test run as a backup blade and didnt really see use outside of sharpness tests (arm hair, plastic wrap). The clip shows carry wear, and the blade has a few hairlines (5) on the presentation side.
Benchmade Adamas - $100 net / $103.5 goods SOLD
Full album HERE
Carried, used, stropped - very smooth pivot action with solid lockup and good centering. No sheath, and it comes with a generic Benchmade box (it didnt come to me with a box, but I have a spare). As much as I like this knife, its a bit too thick for my carry preferences. Wear highlights on the edges of the blade, and some scuffs on the clip.
Microtech DOC Red / Black S30v - $200 net / $207 goods
Full album HERE
Carried and used, but in great shape. Well centered, rock solid lockup, GREAT flipping action. I picked this up to give it another shot while I debate between this and an SMF, and Im still unsure. What I am sure about is that I dont really like black coated blades, so this is going. There is some wear on the hardware and handle, but almost no visible marks on the blade. The pocket clip has a little wiggle to it, but its certainly not loose nor does it compromise its function.
Boker Uolcos - $50 net / $51.75 goods SOLD
Full album HEREhttp://s20.photobucket.com/user/gorgatun/library/3-8-15/Uolcos
LNIB, with papers and adjustment tool. Flips alright without wrist action, locks up solidly and is well centered. This little guy is deceptively stout, terrifying, and gorgeous. The dual-tone finish on the blade is just sweet in person, and the blade profile is very pigsticky. Its a bit heavy, slow, and narrow for me, though, so Im moving it on to more suitable pockets.
Boker Squail - $75 net / $77.62 goods SOLD
Full album HERE
Uncarried and unused by me, and I cant really find any marks, but I dont know the full history behind the life of this knife so lets just call it lightly used. This knife is fking awesome. It has a bear of a detent and then SHOOTS out like it was on bearings. I love this damn thing. It locks up hard, opens like its impatient, and is centered. This is one of the best Boker knives Ive ever handled. Certainly more pleasant to handle than the CF Kwaiken I had a while ago. What a pile that thing was.
Anyway, comes with box, but no papers or tool.
Zero Tolerance 0561 w/ lockbar insert, custom hardware, original hardware - $210 net / $217.35 goods
Full album HERE
This is the best Zero Tolerance I have ever held.
The pivot action is insane. I have never had a knife this smooth. It locks up like its one solid piece of metal. The custom hardware looks fking amazing in person, and the pictures come close to doing them justice. It flips like I wish all flippers flipped. I wont be too upset if nobody is willing to drop the cash on this one for outright sale, honestly. Im not even sure if I want to sell it, but Im certainly not currently carrying it or using it so I better list it before I get any more attached.
Cold Steel Warcraft Tanto w/ G-Clip - $125 net / $129.38 goods

Used, but not abused. Hah! Like you can abuse 3V, FFS. Anyway, this has been used, very carefully honed along the factory bevel using a Wicked Edge, and then used a little after that. This thing is a destroyer of worlds. It will kill you and your family if you dont use it. I havent had use for it since moving to OK from CO, and its just been sitting on my mantle getting more and more impatient with apartment life. Im letting it out into the wild now, because it needs to be used.
Now, heres the thing: The knife and sheath will fit into a medium flatrate box, but the box wont. I can send everything BUT the box for the listed price, but WITH the box will both take longer and cost about $5 more.
**** The following knives are only to be sold in combination with at least one other knife just to make it worth selling them:

Brand new, no box (was hang packaged). Flips well, locks up solidly, decently centered, Has some faint marks on the blade despite never being carried or used.
The terms of sale:
- Please, no offers. That doesn't mean "I know you said no offers, but will you take xxx for yyy? - the prices are firm, and Im really looking for trades primarily anyway so Im not super inclined to take a loss on something I could trade up or across from. I apologize for how harsh that sounds, but I'm really pretty busy these days and don't have a lot of time to respond to PMs, and trades take a decent amount of back-and-forth as it is.
- I do not accept personal checks or money orders. Paypal only.
- ConUS only. Please refer to your local laws. 18 and older only.
- The first "I'll take it" followed by an email/PM gets it. If there isn't a post saying "I'll take it", the item is still available unless otherwise noted, so go ahead and send me an email/PM. Emails are far and away the most preferred method of communication.
For the sake of bandwidth and thread size, I have 1-2 pictures per knife and links to photobucket albums for each knife with more pictures, including centering and lockup shots.
