Hi everybody,
This is the "Oh my God, I'm drowning in knives" sale, which will actually have several parts. First up, the Spyderco children who just don't get carried. Some old/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 $12 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.
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 blocks bladeforums 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!


Spyderco Barong VG-10: Perfect except for a tiny pin-mark in the blade, not three dimensional or rust, just a weird spot. Never fit my hand so never used or carried. $160 SOLD


Syderco Superhawk VG-10: Extremely minor handling marks, never used or carried. $150 SOLD


Spyderco Junior VG-10:Carried a couple of times, opened a letter or two. Very light marks on G10. $90 SOLD


Spyderco Endura Clipit ATS-55: This was one of my old users. I didn't abuse it but it has a little ripple in the front serration valley, and a couple teeth are a little mis-shapen. Otherwise in good shape. Not factory edge but very sharp--and my bevels are awfully good. ;) $35 SOLD


Spyderco ATR Ti w box S30V: Never used or carried but has handling marks in titanium scales, tried to capture them as best I could. Very hard to see in person. $350 SOLD


Spyderco ATR Ti *no box* S30V: Carried a few times, though it's still wearing its factory edge and is still sharp. Has a few more handling marks than the other. In the pictures they look terrible, but it took lots of moving it around to get the camera to pick them up with high resolution, great light and macro-size images. Can't catch them with a fingernail, and much less noticeable in person. Probably can erase them with a grey scotch brite pad in about ten seconds but I wanted to be honest. :) Still overall great condition for an uncommon knife. $295 SOLD


Spyderco Wegner ATS-34:Another user but in great shape. This one was from my era where I set all bevels at 16 degrees with a guided system and then did the 20 degree microbevel with a sharpmaker. Great shape, tight and robust. $125 SOLD


Spyderco Chinook 3 S30V: Carried once or twice, just a little big. Factory edge smoothed out on ultra-fine ceramic and then microbevel added. There's a weird patch of color on the right hand side of the blade up towards the spine that was there when I bought it new. It isn't rust, won't polish out with nevr-dull, just seems to be a different color of the steel itself. Tried to show it in last couple pictures, just kind of a hazy area. $150 SOLD

I'll take both Ti ATRs.

You got 'em!

Okay, funds received from all above (many thanks), original post edited to reflect it, and more awaiting homes! Come one, come all, bring the kids! :D
 
Bohawg's Chinook is boxed up and will be departing shortly. Those others of you who requested pictures/info have received messages back, so please check your mail. My thanks to everybody...now let's finish these puppies off! The Wegner is a FANTASTIC knife---one of the most businesslike, purpose-driven, solid, unpretentious workhorses the company ever came up with, and while I know ATS-34 is "boring", take it from a very old hand in the knife buying world that well heat-treated ATS-34 (and Spyderco does it well) was king of the hill a decade ago for a reason, and as much as the steel snobs among us hate to admit it, there really isn't that much difference in the newest super steels when it comes to honest, day to day performance from a utility folder. Damn...I'm almost talking myself into keeping it. :D
 
Cleared now! Sorry!

Edit to add:
Okay, I'm off to the post office kiosk to get the first six on their way. Tonyinomaha, I'll get your knives on the road tomorrow or as soon as I hear from you and we get all the details sorted out. :)
