ALL OF THESE HAVE A SMALL BLEMISH OR TWO. NOTHING AT ALL THAT IS A DETRIMENT TO ITS FUNCTION. YOU ARE NOT RECEIVING A BRAND NEW KNIFE.
With that out of the way.. they're all nice. You would have a nice tool to use you don't have to worry about babying.. I already ruined any chance of these being "safe queens". Use the piss out of em boys and girls.
Temple Knives - Empress in Nitro - V. 2nd owner These were about about $250 (iirc) new. Asking Traded Venmo or Zelle
This has been used quite a bit. The blade has a bit of rub from the kydex on the finish from the first owner. The kydex sheath has some smooth areas on the end (both sides) from where I fixed the retention on the sheath and had to sand it down a tad. It rattled like crazy when I first got it.. I got the vast majority of it out. It's a nice little knife. I sharpened it up. It'll pop hair off your arm.
Tactical Pterodactyl - Street Fighter Tanto In Magnacut. 2nd owner. Still got the box it came in. I think I paid $400 for it. Asking WITHDRAWN Venmo or Zelle
I put one of the little ulti-clips (like 3.5" I think) on it from another really old carry knife I had.. it's worse off than anything on the actual knife.. that being said it functions as intended. Carried it around maybe a week. I like it but I already have a couple dozen more in this length so gotta trim it down. It looks to have a hybrid grind where the belly has a hollow grind and the tanto tip is a flat. Kydex has really good retention. Basically a razor blade from the maker.. very similar to the stuff Dawson sends out (if you know you know). Plus he really nailed the heat treat on this one.. right in the range Larrin recommended in his breakdown of the stuff. Iirc I remember seeing Frankie (the maker) hammer one of these into pavement and it was basically fine afterwards.
Swamp Rat - Taliwhacker LE # 398 (not sure how many were made but if it has a number.. not a lot) in SR101. Paid $425 iirc. Asking WITHDRAWN for it Venmo or Zelle
I've carried this a lot. It's a badass knife. I hand sanded this to a mirror then put a really cool patina on it. Sharpened it up (it'll shave despite having a good bit of meat behind the edge). Thing is well taken care of. Comes with a Buy Brown kydex sheath (dude makes one of the nicest kydex rigs you'll ever own). Really hate coming off this one.. really.
TOPS - I-STICK Push Dagger in 1075. Only owner. Used to carry it daily. Asking WITHDRAWN Venmo or Zelle
Never needed to use it seeing as how a push dagger is one of those "felt and never seen" type knives. This thing is a monster.. no for real.. it's like .37" thick. Black micarta handle with orange liners. Kydex allows for you to carry it either right or left handed thanks to the blade shape being symmetrical. A little coating has worn off in a couple spots. It has a little but of rub on some of the black coating on the inside clip hardware (probably from being againgst my pants). I've sharpened one as well.. It should shave despite it's gargantuan thickness. Gonna miss this one.
