Hi all,
Please be 21 to purchase and know your local knife laws. I reserve the right to sell to whomever I choose, but generally I deal with the member posting the first "I'll take it" here followed by a PM. Price includes PP G&S fees and shipping (US only please). No trades please, trying to recoup some funds.
I also have a lightly used smooth copper XM-18 3.5 scale here!
Up for grabs today:
1. Pena X Series Front Flipper Swayback in Natural Canvas Micarta: I love this knife (and all the Pena front flippers!). Sweet hollow ground M390 blade, excellent micarta. I've carried this one a little and used it to open a box or two and cut some paper. In excellent condition. Has a snail trail on the rear bolster that I tried to capture, front bolster looks pretty good to me. Factory edge. Solid lockup and centering. Comes with box and materials. Asking sold.
2. Spyderco Yojumbo, modded by BJ Hill/Hilltop Knives and Gear: This thing is awesome, and way better in my opinion after BJ did his work. It went to BJ new, and he chamfered the scales, modified the grip profile, changed the blade profile, acid/stonewashed the blade, enlarged the sharpening choil (works as a small finger choil), resharpened the knife, and flame ano'ed the screws. The very tip of the blade was dulled a little bit, presumably during stonewash. Otherwise this thing is as it came from BJ after mods. These are pretty popular mods, you can check out BJ's work on his YouTube channel. Knife has great action, solid lockup. Centering is just a hair off. This one just hasn't made it into my pocket, and I picked up another Hinderer recently, so along it goes. Comes with box/papers. Asking sold.
3. Spyderco Gayle Bradley 2, modded by BJ Hill/Hilltop Knives and Gear, wearing Sharp Dressed Knives Green Linen Micarta Scales: Another winner here. Love the GB2 design, always bothered by the shadowbox look and feel. I asked BJ to take down the liners to be flush with the scales, and to improve access to the lock-bar. He did just that, and the ergos are vastly improved now in my opinion. This GB2 example is a touch off center and has a bit of lock-stick (which should eventually work itself out). Factory edge. Blade does show a couple of pepper spots on the reverse side that I tried to photograph. These developed in storage or while shipping back and forth from BJ. Has been used only for a couple of paper cut tests and to open a box. Comes with box, original scales, and papers. Asking sold
4. Spyderco Chaparral in CF: One of my first knife loves. This one has been carried and used. Edge bevel has been re-set at 15dps by Josh at REK. Wicked slicer. Solid lockup, smooth operation. Asking spf. No box (sorry!).
