Cypher arrived and it looks great. I can’t find any marks. I think your original post said there was one but hard to find. Where is it?
It’s much larger in the hand than I expected.
On a different topic, while it is an amazing knife. I’m just not sure it’s worth to me both the Stich AND the 85. Together, those have a retail value of $700 while the Cypher (granted, it’s very hard to find if at all) is $475-$500. That’s a $200 difference. So, I can do the deal if you add, let’s say $175… or is there another piece you can add?
Otherwise, I can do the 85 and $175 or the Stitch straight up.
What do you want to do or do you have other ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff

jeff i think you made a deal you dont want to go through with.
you agree the knife is as described and can't see any flaws
you now have my knife as hostage.
if you do not plan to honor the deal you brokered then please return my knife
$20 to cover the postage and insurance to send to you would be nice

That is not true (don’t want to go through with the deal). Not true even slightly. But I did make the error in valuation and I am a man of my word. It’s bigger than I thought but I do like it. Apologies for trying to change the terms because of my error. Please give me your address and I’ll send the two knives out tomorrow. Thanks,
Jeff

the address is on the package you received and on the note enclosed with the knife. maybe they were misplaced.

You got it.
I didn’t even look at the address on the package and honestly didn’t even see or look for a note.
I’ll get the knives out tomorrow.

which ever way you want to play it...
the deal was always upon inspection.
i believe a fair value for my knife is $600. i can justify that with recent listings of
user cyphers selling quickly for $450-$500 in fb groups and here. Those were smooth body (if that makes a difference). i remember an extremely beat one listed @ $375
i think i saw a grey mk7 user posted in the last week for $475? somewhere, maybe that is the one you are looking for.
i think you would agree this knife is in mint condition
i see bnib stitch posted $325-$450 (just searched "stitch" on bf) and user utx-85's $160-$225 . i haven't' seen / evaluated your trade, but i expect they are at the top of these ranges.
before you devalue this cypher, you may want to re-examine where you are putting the values of your knives.
no pressure , either way , my feelings won't be hurt.
i would rather you walk away from this deal than feel you have been slighted.

i was expecting some kind of tracking info

You know what, Les? You are acting like an asshole. I said that I was going to follow through with the deal because I made the valuation mistake and I’m a man of my word. You are now acting like an entitled and spoiled child. You were expecting tracking info? Well, that should teach you to temper you expectations. I’m not someone to fuck around with. Seriously. That is just plain stupid. In addition to being a retired United States Marine Corps officer, a lawyer, an a former law enforcement officer… my patience for stupidity has its limits. So now you can fuck off. I’ll give you a tracking number for your knife that I’m going to send back to you. Instead of being grateful for capitalizing on my mistake, you decided to be a prick. So I suggest that you learn from your stupidity, keep your mouth fucking shut from here on out, and be grateful that this is where it ends.
Really, what a stupid prick you are.
