Old stock, lightly used.




So....


When I go to Blade Show I like to go to the back and find some Japanese guy that doesn't speak any English and find a knife on his table that doesn't have any English anywhere and buy cool knives that are not real common and they're usually a pretty good value

I got a cool folder a couple years ago, it was kind of a gentleman's knife. It had wood scales that were machined in the shape of bamboo scales and it was kind of a nice little dressy knife. VG 10, which I personally like.

My dad was at that show and he took a liking to the knife so I gave it to him.

Well, he recently lost it. So I figured I would get him a new folder for Christmas. Nothing fancy, he likes a clean dressy looking knife but he's not a collector. I like VG 10 because, done properly, it has pretty good edge retention, edge stability. I would put it above 154 cm. But again, the steel is not real important, as long as it's not S30V.

So I was going to ask on the forum, some knife suggestions for my dad but I figured, hell I should put something up for trade.

Again, he doesn't want anything over the top just a nice little folder that he can carry. A small dressy thing.

And, I'd like to give my sister a little pocket knife too. It could be dressy, although she also likes tactical stuff. Again nothing over the top.


If you guys have some gift ideas that you would like to swap as a trade, I would consider a 3 or $400 total as a reasonable trade value for this old DEK1 and you guys could help me finish my Christmas shopping!


Thanks!

Edit: I saw the penetrator tip & taco sheath and couldn't help myself 🫣. Sorry -- I'll only buy it outright if you choose to sell it for cash.

TRM Atom with Ti scales?

It doesn't get much cleaner than this. It's very thin and a great slicer. Not exactly "small" but I think he would like it. The steel is 20CV

Nate, I'd be happy to look for something in the collection to send you, no trade required. Maybe we could talk later and I'll check to see if I have something that fits the bill.
 
How about a BF knife, at least for your dad (maybe not tactical enough for your sister). This year's knife is great, IMO.

For your sister, maybe a small Hinderer Wharncliffe, either a Halftrack, or a 3" XM18 ? My daughter got the XM, and loves it.

Also have a Sun/moon and a titanium Chaparral (have to find for a pic), would make for a small classy edc.

Info about all of these knives is still available on the Net but . . .

I'll be happy to provide any additional info/pics if you have any interest in any of them.

PS: FWIW, I'd also consider trading up to all 4 of them for a Boot Dagger, if you've still got one lying around. ;)

Elliot you lovely son of a gun.
 
Moved to "Trade: Knives & Tools" to broaden the reach and possibilities, and also to conform with the rules for the CPK Sale area which only permit trading CPKs for other CPK related items. (Permanent link between the threads created.)

(Strict constructionist? Perhaps. ☺️ 🍻)

I have seen a few knives with the scales looking like bamboo that use VG10. I can't promise and I have to look when I get home, but I might have something that fits the description pretty well.

Edit: I was hoping I might have a replacement for your father's knife, but I'm not able to find where those couple of Mcusta knives got packed for the move. If a lightbulb moment happens and I remember where they are I'll post it.

Is your father into modern folders or traditionals as well? I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I think traditionals can be a lot more warm and classy than moderns.
