Post "I'll take it" here on the thread for anything you want, in addition to PMing or emailing me through the forum, that way there's no doubt as to who was first.
I will happily take more detailed pictures of anything you like, from any angle you like, and email them to you.
Prices include shipping and insurance to anywhere in the US. Payment by paypal (I'll eat the fees) or USPS money order, please. For international sales, we can figure out additional shipping costs, but check your local laws before you order and I cannot be held responsible for what happens to the knife once it leaves these shores, nor will I lie on the customs form about what's in the box. Many countries have a limit in terms of how much USPS will insure packages for.
If you do not get an immediate response from me, do not panic!
Because they don't want us screwing around and doing personal stuff on the internet, my work serve blocks Bladeforums (along with anything else fun) and I seldom have time to look at email during the day anyway. I take care of things in the evenings when I get home.
Please carefully inspect knives upon receiving them. I try to be meticulous about finding flaws and making them known to prospective buyers, but if I miss something (it's happened) please let me know immediately, and we can talk about either an adjustment to the price if you still want it, or a complete refund in addition to me covering the return shipping. My reputation is important to me, and I'll never try to slip anything by you.
Here we go!
*Balisong/butterfly knives are illegal in some US states and many countries. DO NOT buy them if you're not allowed to have them.*
These three are some old flippers from many years past. I was never very good, and as you can see, they've picked up a scar or two along the way. They're still solid workhorses--great to hone your skills on without beating up a really nice, new bali.

Taylor AK-1415--- Japan-made in the 1980s, sandwich construction with stag (or stag bone) inserts. Some dings and scratches in the bolsters--fair amount of play when the handles are unlocked, but the T-latch still does lock it up tight. Factory grinds are not perfect, look at the spine and swedge grinds. $100 Now $90 $80.00 $70
Valor 528--Japan-made in 1980s, weehawk style blade. Drilled for latch but no latch installed. A bit bruised but still ready to go!
$40 SOLD
Valor 535--Japan-made in 1980s, bowie style blade. Drilled for latch but no latch installed. Only slightly beaten.
SOLD $40
OR, if you'd like to take two, I'll shave $15 off the combined cost.
OR, if you'd like all three and really save me some time, I'll do $150 total
