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 contact me through private message or email. 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 looking.
For trades, I'm looking for a: Spyderco Lil' Lum, Spyderco Nirvana, Spyderco Ouroboros, Striders, Chris Reeves, XM-18 with a fatty Spanto, harpoon spanto or slicer blade, ZT 0804, ZT 0562, ZT 0460, Emerson Big Bulldog, Emerson Aftershock, and a Graham Razel folder but I'll be happy to hear other offers. Worst I can do is pass and cash can be added either way.
If you are planning to send me an email through the forum, please post on the thread as well to let me know. Some of those are lost in transit and never reach my inbox.
1. 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
2. Spyderco Southard with an MXG Gear Deep Carry Clip - near mint - Traded
CTS-204P blade
Textured brown G-10 scale
The MXG clip is thick, well made, and works much better than the stock clip
Comes with the stock clip and the lanyard you see
Smooth action, locks up with no play, and centering is dead on
Flips great
3. Spyderco Rubicon - near mint - Traded
Contoured and polished carbon fiber scales
Orange G-10 pivot collars and backspacer
Liners and clip have a working finish
There are some light scratches on the blade and clip
Fit, finish, and centering are all perfect
Locks up rock solid and the action is great with both the flipper and thumbhole
Great in hand
4. Piranha Predator - brand new in box - Sold
Burnt orange handle
Fires open with authority
Locks up with zero up-and-down play
Centering is perfect
Well built and feels great in hand
5. Defcon Blade Works Proelia - brand new in box - Traded
I bought this one brand new from Blade HQ but never carried or used it
D2 tanto with a fuller, swedge, and compound grind
Sculpted and contoured black G-10 scales
Includes everything, belt sheath, left hand clip, and tool
Smooth and free action; flies open with the flipper and the thumbstuds work great
Perfect centering and solid lockup
6. A.R.S. Flip Shank - like new
Tough little folder with a 2' cutting edge
Front side of the handle is milled and textured coyote brown G-10
Stonewashed blade and lockside
Liquid smooth action, tight lockup with no play in any direction, and perfect centering
7. Emerson Commander BTS - brand new in box
Serial number 12730
2013 model with standoffs
Never carried or used
Smooth action and solid lockup
Center favors the lockside but it doesn't rub the liner
Will arrive with everything you see
8. Emerson SARK BT - brand new in box
Serial number 1476
Made in 2011 with a backspacer
Rescue knife with an unsharpened tip
Great fit and finish on this one
Centering is perfect, lockup is rock solid, and the action is very smooth
9. Emerson Super CQC-7B BT - brand new in box
Serial number 3287
Made in 2013 with a backspacer
Another great example of an Emerson
Solid lockup, good centering, and smooth action
