My long awaited (yes that is a joke) contribution is here, and it is massive! I only ask a few things for these knives, only take if you will actually use it, and if you make any mods send me pictures, or hell just send pictures of them in use, seeing my knives go to good homes gives me the warm fuzzies. Any specifics with the knife (issues) will be noted. Also don't be a Dsun! Feel free to trade the knives, but don't sell the bloody things, that's disrespectful. I should also note posting your claim in the thread then sending me an email would be the easiest method, followed by posting your claim then sending a PM, followed way behind by just posting your claim. I will try to follow time stamps and watch the thread, but I have things to keep me distracted and I am always by my phone to get emails. Just click on my name and send me an email, I keep it active for a reason!
In no particular order: Ganzo 720 Orange, just not a ton of clearance on the axis bar, mechanically perfect. Browning 111D Sandvik steel, G10 handle, very sharp edge, no sheath (lost it a long time ago). Ka-bar Mini Dozier folder blue, just needs a sharpening, won this in a GAW and just didn't care for the fit in my hand, clip and single stud are reversible (current set as lefty, can swap if wanted). Camillus Yellow Jacket 2 blade traditional, blades are nice and sharp, but the spring on the wider blade is a hair weak (still 100% usable, it just needs to be pressed closed sometimes). Ken something that starts with a W button liner lock, beefy as hell with a convex grind, just way to big for my hands, no sheath.Very old SAK Aluminum model, still has some life but needs a serious makeover (Victorinox may repair/replace if sent in, or so I have been told), just not that into Swiss Army Knives so I never bothered. Kershaw Cryo, just needs a sharpening and is good to go (factory edge came in pretty steep). Lastly I have 2 Buck Bantam models, one in black and one in camo, no issues I just don't care too much for the design.
The SOG is now gone!
I would call that good enough, eh?

I have two that I'm getting tired of... One is on page 20 or so, and the other I just ground the blade down(broke the tip almost 10 years ago and never had access to a grinder)How about a free knife sharpening? Just cover one way shipping. I'll pay for return shipping in a small flat rate box.
T.L.E.

Do you happen to know the model of SAK?
I had an electrician with the ask silver cross that I lost a few years back and it would be great to replace it.
I posted a Swiss Army knife on page 18 I think. Take a look, no one has claimed it yet
Alright so my Snarl is taken (but something tells me it's going to see its way back into this thread after an upgrade). There is also interest in the Ganzo and Dozier. I'll try to keep updated on what is gone.

If you wouldn't mind... That would be a great help

I haven't the foggiest. I'm not a SAK guy, I just happened to get it for like $5, and knew I could DO *something* with it for that cheap.
Just an update, looks like the Ganzo and Dozier are taken now. These knives are flying off the shelf, so to speak!

Interested in what's basically a brand new one?

Been listed for sale on local CList twice now. Would like to see it go to someone who appreciates it.
Sure thing. Just send me an email. I'll do them both if they'll both fit in a small flat rate box.

I think that might be mine, the weird dip in the secondary blade is very familiar.
Yeah... Not sure of that... The one that's listed here has about a 12" blade
May send you the other one
Sent you a pm. Can't figure out where you email is

I would love to put that alox to use if it's available?
That would be an electrician then. The "dip" is a wire stripper. The reamer, which is a sort of chisel ground awl, is a dead giveaway as well.
