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 Lil' 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, ZT 0460, Olamics, Brous Hardwire, Brous Anti Up, some Ferrum Forges, Curtiss knives, Southard Midtechs, Emerson Big Bulldog, Emerson Aftershock, Busse Hognose War Sword, ZT 0454, 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
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. Rike Knives 1508S - very good condition
Number 24
Integral one piece frame; even the stop pin is integral
Dark gray handle with a green pivot
M390 blade
The machining on the handle is very detailed and it fits great in hand
Has some light scratches on the blade and some wear on the frame
Centering is perfect and it locks securely with no play
Action is among the best in any production knife I've handled
3. 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
