SOLD OUT! Two Benchmades and a Spyderco

[Auto-Nerd]

Hello BFers.

Today I have a few auto’s for your perusal. All prices include PayPal G&S & shipping costs. CONUS only please. Know your local laws. It is your responsibility to make sure that you are following them.

Lastly, please look carefully at the pictures. All of these knives are in great working order with minimal to no cosmetic issues. That said, two of them have been carried. I have tried to be specific in their descriptions, but I would hate for anyone to buy these from me without being clear on what they are getting.

The stabby machines...

Benchmade Mediator - SOLD $215 SOLD
never used, never carried, never cut. Comes with all of the original packaging.

Spyderco Autonomy 2 - SOLD $155 SOLD
Has been carried but is in good/very-good condition. Functions perfectly. Some minor wear on the g10 and a couple very fine scratches on the blade. No original packaging. Better Pics of the blade have been swapped in.

Benchmade CLA - SOLD $160 SOLD
Has been carried but is in very good shape. g10 has no visible blemishes. Blade has 1 or 2 very fine scratches that are only visible in just the right light. Unfortunately I can’t find the original pocket clip... The DLC on the deep carry clip has been abused like a rented mule, but the clip functions perfectly. If you replaced the clip or sanded it back, this knife could be classified as very good condition. No original packaging. Better Pics of the blade have been swapped in.


Trades:
I’m mostly trying to get that loot, but I will consider trades for interesting auto’s... (if you’ve got a D/A out-the-side or hidden release auto I’ll open up my wider collection and/or add cash to the deal). I’m also open to non-flipper folders. I tend to prefer DLC blades, but shiny is ok on the right knife.

Deal-Breaker for Trades:
Serrations are about as appealing to me as AUS-8 steel.

Thanks!!

Hi- on the Spyderco, is that discoloration on the blade, and, if so oh, is it also discolored on the other side? Thanks

No, there’s no discoloration whatsoever on any of the blades... I just have crappy lighting, and I am totally useless when it comes to photography... the glare from the overhead lights was really screwing me when I took those pics. I will try to get some better pics of the blades when I get off work.

 

[Auto-Nerd]

sorry about that.

 

[jimmi646]

No need to apologize. I'm photography challenged myself.

Hi Auto Nerd. I have a Microtech LUDT with tan handles. Excellent specimen of a knife. 2018 Jan model in M390 steel with a stonewash, PE blade. Box, papers, plastic bag included. I'm interested in the CLA.
Looks like NIB but I did carry it for a few days and cut a couple of things. If interested you can text me for faster communication.

I can text some pics too.

I will take the CLA if the trade falls through.

I’ve updated the pics on the post but I’ll add them here as well.

Unfortunately, now the pics make it look like there are blemishes that aren’t actually there. I managed to capture the really thin scratch on the Autonomy 2. It only shows up in bright light and you have to hold the blade at the exact right angle to see it. For the Autonomy and the CLA, any vertical lines you can see on the blades are not scratches. They’re the regular lines that the milling machine made when the blade was shaped. They run consistently up and down the blade. The glare just highlighted and isolated a few of them. The ring by the pivot on the Autonomy is also just a combination of glare and pivot oil residue... I gotta get a better lighting set-up for this sh!t.

I will take the CLA if the trade falls through.

Ok. I’m waiting on some pics of the LUDT from Wunderbar, but I will contact you as soon as I’ve made a decision.
