Time to overhaul my knives since I tend to only want to carry my Caribbean these days. An infusion of some fresh knives is in order, and so, before we get things going, some terms:
>>Link to full album with lots of pictures, with some close-ups of the blades, handles, and spines.<<
The picture limit is 20 per post, so this will be broken up into two parts.
Trades I will consider:
- PM3 sprints in stainless steels (not M4, Maxamet, or Cru-Wear)
- ZT 0808, 0452CF
- Kizer Megatherium (bolstered version)
Spyderco Manix2 Sprint w/ Burled G10 and DLC (3.37" S90V) - $140 SOLD
Carried, used, and stropped. Clip shows the most wear out of any part of the knife. Locks up tight and is easy to open and close just using the bearing lock, but closes a bit off-center. Excellent EDC knife with a visually pleasant profile and style.
Retail on these was ~$160 when it was available, but the sprint has sold out and I don't think a lot of these were made. Comes with everything as pictured.
Cold Steel Hold Out II (4" CTS-XHP) - $70 SOLD
This has seen some carry and use, but much more carry than use - and does not have much to show of it. This carries exceptionally well due to how thin and light it is, locks up tight, and has imperfect-but-fine centering. I think I've stropped this.
Retail on this was ~$90 when it was available, but has been subsequently discontinued and has become scarce. Comes with the box and bag as pictured.
WE Knife Wasabi (3.875" M390) - $190 SOLD
Nearly imperceptible carry and use. Excellent action, imperfect centering, good lockup, and a gorgeous finish on the blade. I think this knife would benefit from a handle anodization to make it pop a little, but it's got its own very streamlined and simple style to it. Very clean blade with a super-tiny "M390" on the clip side of the blade, just a hair above the handle. Retail (not MSRP) is ~$300 for this one, and this comes with all the original goodies as pictured. Number 020 of I think 300.
The terms of sale:
- Any listed price includes PayPal fees and USPS priority shipping with tracking. It is the total amount you pay.
- Paypal only, please.
- US only, please. Due to import/export laws, shipping internationally (especially Canada) is risky for the buyer.
- I go by time stamp to decide who claimed it first, regardless of how I am contacted. Please do post in the thread, however, before or after sending a message.
All pictures have been taken by me unless stated otherwise, and reflect the current condition. Please inspect all pictures in the album before committing to a purchase!
