Hi everybody,
This is the "Oh my God, I'm drowning in knives"sale, the second installment. Various and sundry folders who just don't get carried. Some older/unusual offerings here, only one with a box (I just don't keep them). In the interests of not having ten thousand pictures to post, I've just taken shots of areas I want you to see---scratches/marks or what the bevels look like if they're no longer factory. I will happily take more detailed pictures of anything you like, from any angle you like, and email them to you. I'm not really in a situation of needing the money, so the knives are priced pretty much where they're going to be. If you want more than one, I'll deduct $10 per knife added given my savings in shipping.

Please post "I'll take it" here on the thread for anything you want, in addition to PMing or emailing me through the forum, that way there's no doubt as to who was first. Prices include shipping and insurance. Payment by paypal (I'll eat the fees) or USPS money order, please. I'll happily ship anywhere in the US. For international sales, we can figure out additional shipping costs, but check your local laws before you order and I cannot be held responsible for what happens to the knife once it leaves these shores, nor will I lie on the customs form about what's in the box. Many countries have a limit in terms of how much USPS will insure packages--I probably can't insure the knife for the entire value internationally.

If you do not get an immediate response from me, do not panic! :D Pretty much exactly because they don't want us screwing around and doing personal stuff on the internet, my work server blocks bladeforums (along with anything else fun) and I seldom have time to look at email during the day anyway. As such, I take care of things in the evenings when I get home. If you were first to say you'll take something on the thread, rest assured you'll be getting a response that evening.

Brief word on condition---Please carefully inspect knives upon receiving them. I try to be absolutely meticulous about finding flaws on anything I sell and making them known to prospective buyers, but if I miss something (it happened once) please let me know immediately, and we can talk about either an adjustment to the price if you still want it, or a complete refund in addition to me covering the return shipping. My reputation is important to me, and I'll never try to slip anything by you.


Here we go!


Emerson CQC 14 w box: This is a dealer exclusive with a factory swedge added to the grind. Absolutely brand new. $200.... Now $165







Camillus CUDA Dominator: Very nice condition--few minor marks (wouldn't call them scratches) in the stone-washed finish which I tried to capture, but it's very hard for the camera to pick up. Typical (of this model) side to side blade play, but no up and down play at all. Very strong assisted action. Factory edge bevel angle, polished on my Hand American strop when I first got it and was polishing everything. Getting hard to find these old boys! $225 ...Now $190. SOLD



Al Mar SERE 3002a: Old Soldier from the 1980s. Overall very good shape, few marks on blade and bolsters. Handle scales have a few marks in them and one old crack around a pin that was epoxy-repaired before I got it--cosmetically imperfect but rock solid. Because of that, I'm selling well below the three-hundred dollar range these often sell for. SPF $190


Extrema Ratio MF1: Carried a few times. Factory edge bevel was very thick/dull, reset to 16 degrees per side. Great shape. $120... SOLD


Benchmade 670 Apparition: User that has just a few marks. Resharpened the factory bevel before this sale because some minor rust spots had formed in the ridges of the rough factory edge bevel. The third picture looks like there are all sorts of marks on the blade but it's dust--that picture shows the marks on the bolster. Very strong/fast assisted action and great lockup. SOLD $95


Leatherman 502: Original version of this knife with the steel bolsters, more expensive version with 154CM blade steel. Couple marks on bolsters. Thick Factory edge thinned down to 16 degrees per side and then microbevel added. Three two-side bits for driver (No.1 with No.2 phillips, 1/8" flat with T15 torque, 1/4" flat with 3/16" flat) and caribiner in handle. EXTREMELY heavily built working folder with leather belt pouch. SOLD $35


SOG Tomcat 3.0 w/pouch: Never used. Sheath has been on a gun-belt in my closet for a few years, and has the press-marks from that belt in the belt slot. Perfect knife. SOLD $100


Puma 465 Back Packer:Never used or sharpened. Collectible-era "yellow box" knife but I can't find the damned box (if I ever do I'll send it to you). Factory scales/bolsters don't match up perfectly--quite common among Pumas of this era. Excellent lockup, no play at all. $70...now $55 SOLD

I'll take it.
 
It's yours!
I'm going to respond to your (and the others) message in just a little while. I'm sneaking this response in during dinner with someone. ;)

Edit: Okay, messages responded to. Come on, folks...old SERE, CUDA, Emerson and ER in the same thread! :eek:

If john changes his mind, I'll take the tomcat 3.0...I know it's unlikely but just in case. Thank you

He's asking for payment info, aatruong, so your prospects seem bleak, but you have seconds. :)

Looks like the Benchmade 670 is gone. PM responded to, thanks!
If anyone had told me that the cool little swedge-ground Emerson wouldn't have been the first to go, I would have laughed maniacally and called them "Fool!" in a Bond-villain voice. Perhaps that means it's destined to stay with me forever!! *villainous, maniacal laughter*

EDIT: Question responded to, John

Edit AGAIN!: Okay, looks like the Leatherman is gone too!

SERE is gone...you guys are relentless! :D

Edit: Heading to bed, people. I'll check back in tomorrow morning. Thanks!

Okay, pace went from blistering to standstill :D
One and only price drop on all the rest, any lower and I'd rather just keep 'em. Remember, if you want more pictures, just ask!
 
Puma is sold--thanks! :D

I never, ever, in a million years would have believed the CUDA would still be here. This is the knife that started the high-end production, titanium frame-lock, assisted-opener craze folks! Back from when Camillus was Camillus, men were men, and chihuahuas were chinchillas! :eek:
 
Back up---I hate to see these guys sitting around when they should be in somebody's pocket!
 
Actually not resurrecting the dead, because this is still alive, and the Extrema Ratio is now gone! :)

And it's gone, gone, gone to me. Right on. One quick question. How would you rate the ER MF1 on a scale from 1-10 compared to all the others you have? Just because they are made in Italy do you think they are over priced or worth the extra money?
 
Tell you what, we'll move this to email so we don't make the sale moderators angry by chatting. :)
