Two weeks ago I found out I've been approved for the VA's VRAP education program, and I'm going back to school. I've got to generate some funds, so I'm thinning the herd a little bit.
Terms:
- First unconditional "I'll take it" in this thread gets it, with email or PM follow-up.
- Buyer is responsible for adhering to all applicable laws regarding ownership of any knife you buy from me.
- shipping & insurance included in price; USPS First Class or USPS Priority mail with delivery confirmation.
- Shipping to U.S. addresses only.
- I'll take PayPal or USPS money orders. If paying by PayPal, I'll eat the fees. My PayPal is cnroles(at)sbcglobal(dot)net. Do not send payment until I confirm.
- I'll ship within 48 hours of receiving payment.
Police, $60. traded to Sterculius for a Manix II Lightweight No box; carried & used by previous owner. Fully serrated model. Overall in great shape, but there is a tiny amount of up/down play when locked open, which is normal for some Spyderco lockback models, from what I hear. (I've had at least fifteen or more Enduras over the last six years, and maybe half of them had a tiny amount of up/down play. All still functioned perfectly.) Holding this knife is like holding a piece of precision machinery. I'd be willing to trade the Police for a blue Manix II lightweight; used is fine as long as it's not abused.
Manix II, $75. SPF to Fishfan Like new, but no box. Very minor scuff on the right-side scale, but it doesn't show up in the pics. I got this one in March; I keep buying (or trading for) this model, then selling it or trading it off. It's in my top five favorite Spydercos. After I'm done with school next year, this will probably be the first Spyderco I buy again.
Gayle Bradley, $110. SPF to darkangel55555 Like new, with box. I haven't used this for anything other than opening a couple of letters. I cold-blued the blade, and it turned out really nice, but since then the blade has gotten "blotchy". Something about the alloy of the M4 steel makes bluing a bit of a challenge. I was going to re-blue with the blade warmed up in hot water, but with school starting all of my ongoing modification projects are on hold. Here's the mod thread I did:

If the buyer wants me to re-blue the blade, I'm happy to do it before I ship it out.
