Ok, brethren. I have set my eyes on an item I must obtain rather quickly, and funds are needed. All prices INCLUDE shipping in the US, lower 50 with insurance. Paypal only for right now please. No gift option, ill eat the fees. Standard rules apply. Buyer assumes all responsibility once delivery is confirmed, all sales final. I reserve the right to deny sales to anyone at my discretion. First "Ill take it" gets it, either by thread or pm. NO TRADES AT THIS TIME. Thanks for looking. All photos are here.... http://s1088.photobucket.com/albums/i324/briant_k/
First up in the pics is a Benchmade 913D2 Nitrous Stryker. Comes with box & cloth. (did not receive manual) Knife is only a couple weeks old and has been carried less times than I have fingers. I wasn't satisfied with the inconsistent factory edge (as I never am) so I evened it out to 12 degrees per side and took it up to the DMT Extra Fine. 1200 grit-ish. NASTY edge.
That's all that's been done and its basically in perfect condition. No scratches anywhere. Cut some paper and tape, that's it. Locks up like my back in the morning, no play, dead center and smooth as butter. SOLD.
Second is an old school Military in 440V (aka S60V) with black G10. This one is well used. Been around since about 1996 and its still taking names. Awesome steel Ive taken down to about 10 degrees per side. This edge will take the hair off a boars tit. Also done with the DMT Extra Fine, this blade surprisingly still locks up early with NO play, under 50%, and is dead center. Has some superficial marks on the blade that were there when I bought it used. This was made back when they didn't use PB washers on the pivot...but if my memory serves me correctly I believe I borrowed some from some of my Taiwan Spyderco's and put em in. Pivot screw has Loctite so im not gonna check. Still nice and smooth after all these years. SOLD
Third is a C11PGRE Spyderco Delica ZDP189 4 in British Racing Green FRN. I have modified the blade on this one a little, but it hasn't been carried much at all. I MUCH prefer the "straight tip grind" of the Delica 3 series and consequently HATE that little drop tip point they are putting on the gen 4's. SO I ground it flat and it turned out to be a nice VERY pointy tip that is still satisfyingly thick. I matched the factory grit on the spine so it will be hard to tell. Again, took the edge down to 12ish degrees per side to 1200. Has some light scuffs on the blade from my experiment but the handle and pocket clip are virtually new. Centered and solid. Comes with bubble wrap and box. SOLD
Fourth is a C134CFP CPM M4 Gayle Bradley with Carbon Fiber pants. This is the newer skeletonized version and I have had zero "problems" with this one that were reported on the first version. I carried this hmm, about twice. I did modify it a little though. Since this knife is notorious for not having much real estate to disengage the lock, having sharp edges etc...I took a dremel to the opposite side of the handle/liner and took off about a 1/16th of material. Not much, but it made a big difference for quicker disengagement. I polished it so you have to stare at it to tell I did anything. Aside from that, I would put the knife at 98%. Barely a mark on it. Comes with box, papers, & bag. SOLD
Last is a 551BKD2 Griptillian. Acquired the same time as the Nitrous, its been carried probably 3 times and has only cut paper, tape and plastic bags for maybe a total of 5 things. As far as I can tell, this version is only available through Cabelas now. Blade rests at center and has the typical "stiff as a board" Axis lockup. Baby bottom smooth, no marks on the blade. Oh yeah....I re-profiled the blade to 12 degrees. You surprised?
Better than factory edge of course. Gonna rate it 98% since its been out of its comfy little cloth baggy for about 3 days. Comes with box, manual, purse & yes, even the little Axis tag thingy under the clip. SOLD
Thanks again for looking guys. (and Gals)
