****GONE****Strider SMF: Purchased used about 10 years ago with G10 scale modified-vertically grooved- by previous owner on flamed titanium frame; Bead blast, tiger striped, Bos heat treated S30V blade; minor scratches through striping and some shine on edge of thumb studs but no damage to blade or rest of knife and edge is sharp and free of nicks. 50% at lockup with no play and blade slightly off-center towards G10 scale when closed. A good user. Overall=> good condition. $275 MO, $285 Paypal****GONE****
**SOLD**Strider SNG: 1st owner; not modified or sharpened by me; used very little, very gently at first and not at all for about the last 9 years; Black G10 scale on flamed titanium frame; Bead blast tiger stripe Bos S30V blade with very light smoothing and a few faint scuffs you can see if you look for them; Lock up at ~40% with no play and blade centered when closed; Not flawless but overall=> very good + condition. $300 MO, $310 Paypal**SOLD**
***SOLD***Hinderer XM-18 2nd Gen (?) 3" Spanto flipper: "New" in bag, (Not mailed with box), unused; Flawless; Stone wash blade and titanium handle with black G 10 scale. Blade sterile/no markings but "HINDERER" on titanium frame; Lock up at ~20% with no play and centered when closed; As they were essentially unavailable in the US back in late 2009 to non-current first responders or members of one of the armed forces, I went overseas and this is either the one from Switzerland or the one from Austria, I've forgotten which. (Still less $ than what you folks here were asking for them ); Still use one and stashed the other which is now for sale. Lucky you. $375 MO, $388 Paypal***SOLD***
As far as new pics go, don't hold your breath. While I have an adequate camera and can re-learn to take a decent snap with it, I find it to be a large pain-in-the-@$$ and won't have time for it in the foreseeable future. That is why the pics shown by me were taken FEB 2010. I shot everything I had of interest at the time so that I would not have to go through that again for a good long while. I haven't and won't. If you are not satisfied with the pics available and my description, look elsewhere, don't bother me and don't ask me why I won't jump through hoops to sell you one little knife. Life is too short.....
I'll take it implies that it is lawful for you to buy/own the knife you ask for where you live. Follow with a PM at BF and/or an e-mail to "pmsayre153@hotmail.com". Price listed gets US Postal Priority shipping (with tracking #) to the "lower 48". Insurance is extra. All other locations will ship USPS Priority Insured at additional actual cost to your location and I will not lie on Customs forms. I will will check BF and my e-mail in-box when I can and pack & ship your knife ASAP upon: 1) Finding out I've received payment via Paypal (Use of "gift" or "friends & family" is at your own risk); 2) receipt of a US Postal Money Order or; 3) Clearance at my bank of any other type of money order. No other forms of payment accepted. I will carefully pack the knife but once it has been accepted at the Post office for mailing, I will no longer be responsible for it. Neither for loss nor for damage in transit. Pass on insurance at your own risk.
I am downsizing and selling parts of my collections. I am not looking for trades or entertaining/responding to "low-ball" offers. If they don't sell at the asking price, I'll keep them for another 5 or 10 years and perhaps try again or (gasp) resort to "that auction site" with what I feel is a reasonable reserve price and sell them to the heathen.
I reserve the right to refuse to sell or even respond to anyone without explanation. I may not be but try to be and like to think of myself as a bit of a mirror. Do me the courtesy of treating me like a reasonable human being and I will return the favor. I have limited time and energy and view interactions in this sales forum as a potential transaction to be concluded quickly one way or the other with minimal fuss and bother. If I do not know, I will not do your research for you. You have or have access to a computer or computer like object and access to the Internet so use it.
Lastly, if I seem a bit cranky I'll admit that some of it is me being a grumpy old man at 58 but IMHO a good bit of it is you. Perhaps not you as an individual but you as, again IMHO, too many of the group of people who have responded to this thread and others by e-mail or PM. To those of you who don't bother to read the whole thread, found another one of the nearly infinite bits of minutia that I have not specifically dealt with, or simply enjoy a bit of "troll the geezer", I look to William Claude Dukenfeld AKA W. C. Fields who reputedly said "Go away boy, you bother me." and, in response to the question 'What do you think of children, Mr. Fields?' supposedly replied "Delicious when properly cooked." I am also reminded of Sartre's "Hell is other people."
To the rest of you, thanks for looking and have a nice day.
