Good morning BF! I just received a Large 21 Tanto with black inlays in trade. The knife was bought new in 2020 and Im the 2nd owner. Knife has been carried more so than used. One tiny scratch on the blade, otherwise the blade seems flawless.
There are the usual snail trails from carry. The 2 spots that show the most wear are the clip and around the hole for the lanyard pin. If your clip is in better shape, we can keep our clips and ship the knives without them. The action and lockup are typical CRK perfection.
My freehand sharpening journey is just beginning and the tanto is more than I want to tackle at this point (not wanting to throw it on my guided system). For that reason, Im looking for a drop point. From my understanding, CRK is not currently offering non-warranty blade swaps on 21's so there went my original plan.
Edit: Just heard back from CRK... It IS an option but blades are backlogged with a 6-9mo wait, FYI
Specifically, looking for a large 21 stonewashed drop point, 59-60 HRC, with micarta inlays. Used but not abused is fine. My knife is 59-60 HRC and was made in 2020 per the original owner but I do not have any accompanying documentation, packaging, etc. Just the knife. Im well aware the lack of this may be a sticking point for some but unfortunately it is what it is.
I am not looking to add cash but will pay for your shipping if you happen to have a double lug configuration. I would consider trading for a 31 w/ micarta if there are no 21's to be had and you're preferring the old school to the new school (cant say I blame you).
EDIT- Will also trade for a like-new PJ 21 or 31... I need me some drop point goodness!
Please see pics below and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking!
