SEND ALL TRADE OFFERS BY PM OR EMAIL
Got a bunch of trade fodder here, all NIB or LNIB. Not sure what I'm looking for, but there are some things I'm not looking for:
READ THIS BEFORE YOU SEND ME A TRADE OFFER:
No serrations, no assisted knives, no knives with recurves or cutting surfaces under 3"
No fixed blades, no lefty folders, no folders without pocket clips, no folders without locks
No SOG, Ka-Bar, Svord, Strider, or Emerson
None of the following steels: 8/9Cr13MoV, 440A/B/C, AUS8, Mystery stainless, 12C27
For the sake of Photobucket bandwidth and thread size consolidation, I have one picture up for each knife and then an album link with more pictures (centering, lockside, lockup, etc). Some pictures have been brightened to better show the lockup and centering.
ADDED: 4/16/14:
- 0777M390BLK
- Native CTS-XHP
- 950 Rift
- Manix 2 110v LTWT
Spyderco Breeden Rescue TRADED
Mint in box. Centered, early and bank vault lockup, smooth pivot action. It literally could not be in better visual or functional condition. Just not my cup of tea, despite being sheepsfoot. Can't quite put my finger on why.
Full album here.
Benchmade Mini Onslaught TRADED
LNIB - Can't find any signs of use or wear anywhere, and I never carried or used it. It's the single smoothest Benchmade I have ever handled. This is the most fun I've ever had handling a knife, because it's so snappy and ergonomic. Dead centered with rock solid lockup.
Full album here.
Spyderco SpydeRench
A little piece of Spyderco history, like new in box. The box and papers have actually yellowed a little bit from age. Comes with box and manual (not just some blurb about the knife, an actual manual). Uncarried and unused, but with some faint handling marks (just from making sure everything functions properly)
Full album here.
Spyderco Southard x2
I have two of these. Brand new in their boxes. Both flip, lock up, and are centered perfectly. It was going to either be one of these, the Onslaught, the Vallotton, or the Lionspy for my new main carry, and I chose the Lionspy. Note: one does not come with the papers.
Full album here.
Zero Tolerance 0801 SPF
LNIB. Can't find any marks anywhere. Super early bank vault lockup, dead centered, crazy smooth flipping action. Comes with box and papers.
Full album here.
Spyderco Native CTS-XHP
BNIB, with vault lockup and perfect centering. I was thinking about switching this out for my Echelon, but I ended up choosing a different one instead.
Full album here.
Manix 2 110V Lightweight
I would argue this is the best cutting tool on the market. Buttery smooth action, rock solid lockup, fantastic ergonomics, incredible steel… I bought two the day they were announced and am keeping one. The other one was either going to my roommate or to become trade fodder, and my roommate wasn’t impressed (the fool!)
Full album here.
Benchmade 950 Rift TRADED
BNIB, with exceptional smoothness and tighter lockup than I’m used to seeing from an Axis lock. This and the Adamas are the only two I’ve handled so far that were perfectly centered, rock solid, and buttery smooth out of the box. Another potential roommate knife that was rejected. I don’t know if he understands how good of a deal $100 for a 581 was, and that he’s not likely to get better for the same price.
Full album here.
0777M390BLK
Like new in box. I carried it but could never bring myself to use it. No scratches anywhere, not even on the clip. Unused, buttery smooth, snappy flipping action, rock solid lockup, perfect centering.
Full album here.
