Help me find these knives new homes. Theyre lost and confused and not being carried and they dont know why nobody loves them.
EDIT: BF's email system has been really unreliable as of late. I can be reached directly at "leonardspock", a gmail email account. (just add @gmail.com - I broke it up like this to avoid automatic email gathering bots)
I also have a couple other knives that need homes HERE.
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:
The only trade Im interested in is for a S/E PE Combat Troodon. Blade style, steel, handle color, blade finish, etc - not super important. I like the tanto and the regular blade style, the all-black, all-satin, all-stonewashed, and two-tone finishes all look good in my eyes, and the handle color is really just not an issue for me. I dont care if its flourescent pink. I want your SE PE CT.
As always, no deal is done until you are happy. I do my best to describe everything accurately, but if you find you disagree, well work something out.

Spyderco Southard - $175 net (paypal friends and family) / $181.25 (paypal goods and services) NOW $165 paypal friends and family" / $170.78 paypal goods and services SOLD
Full album HERE
LNIB, carried a couple times, bumped up against something and the clip shows a couple lines because of it. Other than that, its brand new and unused!
Cmon, you ask, what is that, the fifth Southard youve had?
No, dont be silly.
Its the eighth.
Like all of them, this one is Taichung perfect - centered, perfect detent and flipping action, early playless lockup. Box, papers, everything is immaculate except for the clip! So, take $25-$50 off of retail price for one of these because whatever why not.

This knife is really big.
Like, huge.
I like big knives. I carry a 4 Hogue tanto most days or a 3.9 Kershaw 4KXL on other days. Im about to get a Combat Troodon. That said, this knife made me say GOOD LORD when I opened it. Ive already nicknamed it Sinbad.
This gigantic mother-of-two middle-finger-flicks open to playless lockup (which I have found to be rare in axis locks outside of the Adamas) but is a little stiff from the factory and doesnt swing freely when the lock is disengaged. Thats probably for the best with a blade this big anyway.
Centered and pristine with solid lockup. No papers, but comes with original box and drawstring microfiber Benchmade baggie that the knife barely fits into.
Benchmade Gold Class Mini Barrage 586-141 M390 / Carbon Fiber / Red C-Tek - $275 paypal friends and family / $284.63 paypal goods and services SOLD
Full album HERE (Worth checking out even if you dont want the knife; its pretty!)

Used.

YEAH. THATS RIGHT.
USED.
A SIX HUNDRED DOLLAR KNIFE. WHAT YOU GOT, SON? OH, YOU USED A SEBENZA? CUTE. ADD ANOTHER TWO HUNDO ON TOP OF THAT (RETAIL, NOT MSRP) AND WELL TALK.
It shoots open. Blade has been used and shows it. Has carry marks on the clip. No box, no papers, no bag, no excuses not to carry and use it. Solid but not perfect lockup. Centered. Red standoffs. Dead sexiness. Less than half of retail price. Will you ever see one this cheap again? No. No you wont. Ever. Because nobody uses Gold Class knives - except for you, because now its a reasonable option.

Emerson 2012 Full-Size Commander EK500 - $180 paypal friends and family / $186.3 paypal goods and services NOW $170 paypal friends and family / $175.95 paypal goods and services
Full album HERE
Im the second owner, but it was sold to me as new and I believe it. I cant detect any signs of wear, and the knife opens smoothly (with a subtle squeaking sound Ive found to be typical of Emersons) to rock-solid lockup. The blade is cosmetically off-center when closed, and is horrifylingly sharp. Like, I touched the edge on accident and only discovered I had done so when I was working with malic acid later that day and it got into the cut that I didnt even know had happened.
Comes with the box and a sticker! Ernie knows that people who need combat knives also like stickers! He should team up with Lisa Frank.
