Hi everybody,
I've just taken shots of areas I want you to see---overall views, specific scratches/marks or what the bevels look like if they're no longer factory. I will happily take more detailed pictures of anything you like, from any angle you like, and email them to you. If you want more than one, I'll deduct $10 per knife added given my savings in shipping.

Please post "I'll take it" here on the thread for anything you want, in addition to PMing or emailing me through the forum, that way there's no doubt as to who was first. Also, please do NOT say "I'll take it" and then send me a PM negotiating on price. If you say you'll take it, you're agreeing to the asking price. Prices include shipping and insurance. Payment by paypal (I'll eat the fees) or USPS money order, please. I'll happily ship anywhere in the US. For international sales, we can figure out additional shipping costs, but check your local laws before you order and I cannot be held responsible for what happens to the knife once it leaves these shores, nor will I lie on the customs form about what's in the box. Many countries have a limit in terms of how much USPS will insure packages--I probably can't insure the knife for the entire value internationally.

If you do not get an immediate response from me, do not panic! :D Pretty much exactly because they don't want us screwing around and doing personal stuff on the internet, my work blocks bladeforums (along with anything else fun) and I seldom have time to look at email during the day anyway. As such, I take care of things in the evenings when I get home. If you were first to say you'll take something on the thread, rest assured you'll be getting a response that evening.

Brief word on condition---Please carefully inspect knives upon receiving them. I try to be absolutely meticulous about finding flaws on anything I sell and making them known to prospective buyers, but if I miss something (it's happened) please let me know immediately, and we can talk about either an adjustment to the price if you still want it, or a complete refund in addition to me covering the return shipping. My reputation is important to me, and I'll never try to slip anything by you.
Here we go!


Hogue EX-04 3.5" with black G-Mascus (G10) handle. Carried once or twice and opened two letters with it, original factory edge profile but carefully polished on a loaded strop to get rid of the factory wire edge. No marks I can see other than very fine rub spots (tiny) on the clip that you can see in the picture, though I had to turn it for the light to catch them, and they're still black, not silver. Pretty much perfect but no box so $185 Now $165



Spyderco Fluted Ti Military S30V.
Again, carried a couple of times but this one just doesn't fit my hand. Never cut anything, never sharpened or polished the edge. Tiny marks on pocket clip (keep in mind how huge this pictures are compared to the actual size of the knife) and one sort of rub/mark under the pivot--which again only shows up if the light hits it a certain way, although I captured it pretty well in the closeup. Original box has some storage dings/scratches. 245 SOLD

The right hand scale (where the lock is) is very grey. The left scale seems to fade from a very light blue front to a darker/purple rear.

Here, some comparison pics. The blue side is not nearly as blue as a Benchmade 42, and the grey(er) side is not nearly as grey as a Sebbie. Actually, in this shot, the "grey" side looks decidedly bluer, though I've never noticed that in person; lighting and aging eyes are an interesting combination. Last shots to show the centering of the blade and lockup as I had a PM about that--point shows very slight favor towards the non-lock side (we're talking way less than a millimeter) when closed.
