It looks like I was initially too high in my pricing, so I have dialled everything back a bit. And I want to stress that I am willing to trade multiple knives for a mid-tech production. These are knives that I will not use and Id like to get them into other folks hands and raise some capital to support this new addiction. So, lets try again.
Having begun collecting knives fairly recently, I have amassed a number of knives that no longer fit into my collection. So this is my first knife sale, but I am a longtime collector/dealer in fountain pens where I have a reputation for accuracy and honesty. My website is at thepenguinpen.com
All prices are PayPal net to me and include USPS Insured Priority Shipping in a box. Best way to reach me is rickpropas@comcast.net.
Benchmade Osborne Barrage 581. This was my third knife and by the time it arrived I discovered that I am not crazy about automatics. So it has been opened and closed a number of times, probably not enough to break it in and is LNIB with all papers, pouch bag, etc. $175, less than I paid. Now $125 SOLD.
Benchmade Osborne Barrage 580. This one I briefly carried and used very lightly, to open mail, packages, etc. Shows no sign of use and I shall again take a loss, offering it for $125.Now $100
Wusthof 2789, another of my earliest, this has never been used, comes with knife and a nice sheath. The original packaging was a blister, which I do not have. This is a really nicely designed lockback. $75. Now $50
Bradley Alias I Auto, partly serrated blade. I bought this one thinking it was the framelock. It isnt. LNIB. Not sure I opened it more than two or three times. But an uncommon knife. $150. Now $125
These are later acquisitions, a bit more sophisticated knives:
Zero Tolerance 0350 ZDP CKT This is a rather special Ken Onion Limited Edition design with ZDP 189 coated steel blade. A very cool knife. But for the assist, I probably would not be selling it. If you know what it is you know that I was lucky to find this one at a backwoods bricks and mortar store. I carried it briefly and used it lightly. $325. Now $275
Three Sisters Forge Beast. Why am I selling this? Because I have three Beasts and a Gorgon. If you know Jim Adams work, I need say no more. Superb design and execution. Bought from the Exchange. $295 for this. Now $265
Syderco Native 5 CF, this the carbon fiber scaled version of the Spydie classic. In truth, its a very cool knife, it just doesnt fit into what I am now trying to do with knives and I have spent too much over the past few months. Ill regret selling it, no doubt. Comes LNIB, I may have flipped this one. I did not carry it. $275.Now $245
And finally, a Buck Strider 889 sbmf. After getting a SnG, I thought if would be cool to have this since I like Strider (the knives, not the man) and I started with Buck, of course. This is a badass linerlock. Its been used, though not by me. $125.Now $95 SOLD
