I'm not new here to BF, but I've only bought so far and haven't done any selling. I haven't sold knives period, actually, just occasionally buying ones I think may be interesting and then keeping them around as a collection. I just happened to luck into a couple of lottos recently for some higher end knives and I'm looking to free up some space and recover some funds. I say that to say that I don't have feedback as a seller but will do everything possible to be easy to work with. If you have any questions about anything or if there's any info I've left out or additional pictures or video you would like, just let me know.
I have a semi-budget thread going as well, if you want to bundle anything let me know. https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/nice-lot-of-semi-budget-knives.1831159/
1) Demko AD20 MG in 3V steel. This one is black and grey G10 with the solid blade (no slot/opening hole) and I bought it new from KnifeJoy I believe it was. I haven't carried it because its huge, but I have opened/closed it, fidgeted with it, possibly opened a box with it. Edge is factory and extremely sharp. The shark lock mechanism on these appears to not be a stainless steel and patinas with handling as shown in the pictures. I also tried to show in the pictures that on the clip side of the knife, the edge has a couple tiny spots of either oxidation or spots that the grind left behind. If it's oxidation it is light enough that it could likely be stropped off but I haven't tried to keep the edge new. SOLD
2) Spyderco Shaman BHQ exclusive with Jade G10 and DLC coated M4 blade. This one is LNIB and has only been out and handled a few times. Sold
3) Spyderco Spydiechef LC200N bought new from St. Nick's. I have carried this occasionally and lightly used it for normal EDC things. Lockup is a little late for my liking but it came this way new so I'm guessing is fairly common. Factory edge and it is still hair shaving sharp. $230
4) Giantmouse Ace Sonoma (v1 frame lock) m390 bough new from the Giantmouse website. This one has been carried a handful of times and had light use. Condition is still like new with original edge which is very sharp. I really love this one and the action is perfect but it needs to go as I just don't carry it. $215
5) FF/Drop Dao in blue and bronze in S35VN bought new from Drop. I missed the original drop on these but really like the design and waited for a restock which took forever. This is another one that I really like but just don't carry. Never carried that I can recall but it has seen some desk duty as a letter opener because it has such a good edge and grind. Not the best flipper action but a very good one for spydie flicking. Someone could do a flipper delete and find a deep carry pocket clip (they produced some I think) and this would make an awesome daily carry. This configuration with the blue and bronze with plain titanium handles was a little extra I believe. $150
6) Benchmade Bugout S30V with aluminum AimFront scales. I found these scales and grabbed them hoping to make a custom dugout with a 940 green/purple color way. The knife was bought used off BF as a standard ranger green Bugout that had been sharpened. I never could find an easy source for purple standoffs or thumb stud but this turned out to look pretty sharp with the green and gold combo. This one is a good one as far as action, lockup, and centering. I haven't done anything with the edge but the previous owner did a pretty good job...its polished and very sharp but the tip appears to have been rounded ever so slightly. Original grivory scales included. $165
7) Giantmouse Ace Nimbus v1 m390 bought new from Giantmouse website. I bought this one thinking I might put it in a hunting pack because of the blade shape and micarta handles but I've never loved it. The micarta shows a little bit of handling so could either be washed or just continue to oil naturally depending on what you like. I'm calling this one "like new" because I don't remember using it. Edge is new. $130
8) Spyderco Para 3 Factory Second in Maxamet. Bought this to try a Para 3 but never really liked it and would rather carry my Brouwer. I never found much of any blemish on the knife except that it has a slight bit of side to side blade play. Centering and action are great and edge is scary sharp. I tried to show in pictures that one of the pivot screws isn't perfect. The screw is NOT stripped and functions fine. I believe this must have happened trying to tighten the pivot to see if blade play could be eliminated. I use Wiha bits so the steel on the torx screws could be softer than normal. $165
9) Tactile Knives Rockwall flipper in CTS-XHP. This one came from Tactile during their original release. Knife #259 and is like new. It's a nice little knife but not a keeper for me. $285
10) Spyderco Dodo in Jade G10 and M4 from BHQ. Knife is NIB. SOLD
Prices are shipped and PayPal FF. Will ship out as quickly as possibly but I will be out of town Wed-Friday of the week, so if you want something fast you will need to get it done before then.
