OK, these 3 are virtually NIB.
The only reason I can't call them NIB is because they have all been touched up by me, on the Sharpmaker to razor sharpness. No marks on blades, however. There are also minor rub marks on the bolsters from removing from their boxes and fondling. They all have great walk and talk and are tight when in the open position. Other than that, they are gorgeous and each has its proper box. Here's a description of each:

1. Henkels Trapper, smooth white bone with flecks of black, Carbon Steel, 4.25" closed

2. Queen Trapper, # 19, Red Winterbottom Jigged Bone, beautiful shades from rust to deep maroon, SS, 4.25" closed

3. Mooremaker # 2300, Smooth Buffalo Horn, black with light white streaks, Carbon Steel, 3.5" closed

4. Finally, I have a lightly used Spyderco Calypso Jr, grey, with VG-10 steel.
This thing is literally razor sharp, locks up tight, and is perfectly centered when closed. Minor marks on blade from use.

I'm looking for either a Queen or Schatt & Morgan Mountain Man, BRKT Mikro, or Spyderco Para Military. I'm sure we can work out some sort of trade involving combinations of my knives and $.
Please email me if interested as I don't visit this forum often.

Is that calypso jr serrated or plain edge? I'd also like to confirm that it has the ambidexterous clip.
Depending on the answers to the above questions, I'd be interested in trading some custom fixed blades.
For example:

3/32" 440c, flat ground, 1/4" black paper micarta scales, kydex neck sheath (chain not included), sterling silver pins, hand-rubbed to 600g. Never cut anything but the hair off my arm.
or

1/8" stainless (improperly heat treated 154cm, really only suitable as a display knife), 1/4" plexiglass handle, nickel and brass pins, flat saber ground, low mirror polish (no scratch marks, but cloudy), gorgeous file work (if I do say so). No sheath.
If you're interested, I'd like to see a picture of the calypso to see for myself what the wear is like.
