I have several rare production knives for sale. A lot of these knives are in current production, but these are all original/older models. So please note the era/dating of these knives. They are all from my personal collection and while they are quite a few years old, have seen minimal or no use and are in excellent or like new condition. I love each of these knives and would rather not see them go, but my collection is becoming unwieldy and these just dont get admired (or used) often enough to justify keeping around.
Insured shipping within the CONUS and Paypal fees are included in the prices shown. I will ship to other locations, but this will need to be negotiated and details agreed on before purchase. I will check PM, but will be more responsive to my email address on file with BF.
Since I am attempting to thin my collection, there are only a few, specific knives I am interested in considering for trade (will do +/- cash):
Bastinelli Compact Dragotac
JW Smith SD or RG model with 3" blade
Fantoni CUT Flipper
Todd Begg Field Grade Bodega
McGinnis Proline Valve
Lone Wolf Harsey T3 Tactical Folder
This rare and discontinued knife is from the original Lone Wolf knife company, before it was bought by Benchmade. This is commonly known as the Harsey T3, but the actual model is LC14700.
This folding knife is HUGE. Nearly 6 closed, 10 ¾ open, with a 4 ¾ blade. It comes with a belt sheath, most likely because it will not fit in a pocket. However, this is a great knife and for a big knife, it feels good in the hand. Obviously, the bigger the hand, the better the feel.
The bead blasted blade is made of CPM-S30V. The handle is canvas micarta with a titanium pocket clip and titanium liners. It is considered a liner lock design, but the liners are almost as thick as some frame lock designs. It has an absolutely rock solid lockup when open.
There was a plastic handled version that was used for full production and I have heard that only 600 of these micarta handled knives were made.
Absolutely new in box condition. Asking $OLD.
Kershaw JYD II
This has been carried and cut a few things and has been sharpened. However, outside of a few small scratches on the clip (see pics), it looks like new to me. This was one that I was trying out as an EDC, but it was just a little big for me when folded and took up too much space in my pocket. Opens smooth, locks up solid. Titanium handle, SG2 san mai blade. Marked Nov 07. Asking $OLD.
Benchmade Skirmish
Model 630 from the 1st production run, this is #64/1000. It is a great knife that has sat in my collection for a more than a decade without use or really admired. Absolutely new in box (never used, never carried, never cut anything, never sharpened). Asking $OLD
Sypderco Spyker
Heres another blast from the past. Discontinued model C96GP, made March 2005. Black G-10 handle with silver twill inlays and S30V blade. I wanted to like this as an EDC, but the blade didnt strike me as utilitarian. It has seen pocket time, but never cut anything and never sharpened. It is absolutely as I got it from the factory. It comes in a Spyderco zipper case and includes the certificate card and a pin. Asking $225
Microtech Vector
This final offering is another trip in the wayback machine, a Vector with a 03/2002 born-on date. It has the grey 154CM blade and machined dark grey/black aluminum handle with black rubber inserts. This is the manual version of this knife (also came as an auto). I have never carried or used this knife in any way. It has spent most of its life in the case it came in. It is in new condition by definition, but it does have an imperfection I never cared to do anything about. Just below the date stamp is a small scratch on the blade about 3/16 long. The lock also engages further than most today (this was typical of the Microtechs I owned from this period). It is almost to, but doesnt touch the opposite scale. On my other Microtechs, this lock engagement never went any further.
Comes in a felt-lined, black plastic box and includes Microtech black belt pouch. Asking $295
