Hi everyone. I'm on the hunt for some new steel so here are some knives up for trade. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have about what you see. I can give more details, specs, and pictures if you ask. If you're interested, feel free to start a conversation or email me at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. If you just want a straightforward sale, let me know and we can have something worked out. Thanks for taking a looking.

For trades, I'm looking for a: Spyderco Lum, Ouroboros, Poliwog, S90V Yojimbo, Dyad, Manix 2 XL, Striders, Chris Reeves, Hinderer MP-1, XM-18 with a Harpoon Spanto, Fatty Spanto, Slicer, or Sparrow grind, ZT 0055, Olamics, Brous Anti Up, some Ferrum Forges, Curtiss knives, Southard Midtechs, Emerson Big Bulldog, Emerson Aftershock, Busse Hognose War Sword, ZT 0454, WE Knives Eschaton, Microtech Stitch, some balisongs, and a Graham Razel but I'll be happy to hear other offers. Worst I can do is pass and cash can be added either way.

1. Spyderco Tuffram Civilian - very good condition - Sold
Original long discontinued version of the Civilian
ATS-55 blade
Aluminum frame with polished edges
Rubber-like inlays on the front side and on the clip give you a really nice grip
There is some wear on it but it's in great condition for an around 25 year old knife

2. Spyderco Double Bevel - like new
The blade has a hollow grind toward the pivot and then turns into a full flat grind
Blade and liners have a polished satin
Textured G-10 scales
Very close to brand new
It's hard to tell but the blade seems to favor the lock side by a hair
Locks up tight with no play

3. Brous Blades Triple Threat - near mint
Number 89 of 500
Blade measures 3.5" and has 3 different grinds and a polished stonewash
Textured black G-10 handles with a pattern milled into it
The pivot is a bit loose on this one so there is play and the centering is off
Centering is perfect when it's tight
Feels great in hand

4. Brous Blades Triple Threat - near mint
Number 142 of 240
Coated D2 blade with 3 grinds
Black G-10 scales with a cool pattern milled into it
Has some light wear from the kydex

5. Reate Knives Epoch - like new in pouch
Number 231 of 400
Two-tone satin finished CTS-204P blade
Black coated ti frame, spacer, and clip
Raised and polished mokuti inlay
Begg style clip
Lockup is about as solid as it gets and the action is smooth
Centering slightly favors the lockside but it doesn't come close to rubbing and won't rub even with pressure on the other side

6. Brous Blades Raven - near mint - Sold
Number 155 of 250
The entire knife has been blacked out
The blade and the inside of the handle has been skeletonized
Has over 4" of cutting edge but the knife carries and feels like it's much smaller
Came from Brous with a mirror edge
Has been lightly carried and used so there are some faint marks on the coating but none of the metal is showing from underneath
Action is fast and reliable
Lockup and centering is perfect

7. Starlingear Monkey Doughboy - like new - Sold
The monkey is made from sterling silver
Helmet is bronze
