I have a CRKT AG Russel Sting I'm sure someone could give a good home. I've had it now for about three years and never carried/used it. Unfortunately I don't have the box or the velcro leg strap for it. Email me at db.1987@yahoo.com if interested.

Love this idea!

I have a gently used, slightly modified BM Volli I'd like to offer up. The scales have been slightly reprofiled to contour the liners. Only G-10 was removed, no steel/liners. Don't know if this will void warranty. Has some vertical play typical of some BMs but no side to side. I just don't carry it anymore. Includes box and cloth bag.

If anyone is interested, e-mail me!

You guy's are awesome, thank you for being in the spirit!

No problem, man. Like I said it's just collecting dust here and I'd rather someone who could get some use out of it have it.

If I got this right I would love to use that Volli if the owner agrees I offer up a Boker Arbolito stag hunter.

If you're offering up the Boker for someone else to grab you sure are getting it right

I'm really not a fan of fancy or decorative looking outdoor knives I can never bring myself to actually use them.

Volli goes to you, man! You were the first e-mail I received!

I'm on a backpacking forum who does this you post up a item your not using. If someone wants it they have to post up a return item. The way this is looking your not going to have much to giveaway..

TLoFP · Mar 3, 2015

WoW. Some beautiful knives. I guess people can be awesome. I hope that BM and Boker find a good home. I know the Boker is a really nice knife. Who ever gets it is lucky.

Don't forget to put up an item too. It is what is needed to keep this rolling.

Edit: Not wanting to deal with possible legal issues from mailing a double edged 'dagger', I'm removing the Gerber from the offering pile and adding this Opinel #10 with corkscrew instead.

DB.Cooper · Mar 3, 2015

Since the Sting is gone I figured I'd throw something else up.A relic from my infatuation with Damascus style steel patterns, I've probably had this now about four years, maybe more(I don't remember exactly when I bought it but I know it's been at least four years). Once again never carried or used. I'm not even sure who made it since it's not marked.

Once again if interested email me at db.1987@yahoo.com

This was done before, and it went well for a while. Some folks were left high and dry, and others were trying to sell their stuff by disguising their "offerings". Keep it free from that and things will be alright. The last time something like this I recall several people were issued infractions when things got completely out of control.

So, I wasn't the only one?

Not a big deal though.
Maybe some of the people were offering things (then getting your address and agreeing to send them...) just to make themselves look better on the forum. I can't say I'm surprised some people were trying to use the thread to sell stuff.

It isn't anything special, but I've got one or two 'flea market' type knives I would be willing to give away if someone has a friend that needs to start carrying a knife. Or if you want a 'loner' to keep nearby or knife to practice modding on. The one I'm thinking of I believe came from the 'Cutlery Corner Network' if that tells you anything.

I would ship it CONUS, you only need to be a member/user that contributes to the forum. If interested, email me.

blades&wrenches · Mar 3, 2015

I was planning on doing a GAW with the Volli, but then this came along. I don't feel right about asking for money for something that I modded, and potentially has no warranty. It's still in great usable shape with many miles left and I wanted someone to have it who will use it...I don't anymore.
I hope this thread goes well and everyone abides by forum rules and moral character.

Reignman · Mar 3, 2015

I think we have good character here, we should be alright.

dkb45 · Mar 3, 2015

Well I wound up being stricken with a lovely stomach bug, but I have just the knife in mind to offer up once I am okay enough to get out of the house.

A-MAC · Mar 3, 2015

I may get drummed off the thread but, I'd like to play. A forum member was kind enough to send me this a few months ago but, like the OP I never use it. I'm sure someone could get some use out of this Hinderer Clone. It's a very solid knife and a great flipper. I'll repeat again though ITS A CLONE. I'll cover first class USPS in the USA.

I'd love to take that Boker off you hands if what I have to offer to someone else is up to the task. I have 3 knives:
#2 & #3 ARE STILL AVAILABLE; I WILL UPDATE ONCE ANY/ALL ARE CLAIMED
1) **GONE** A brand new, never used USA made Buck Bantam 286 with Reaper (skull) scales with box **THIS ONE GONE**
2) A new USA made Winchester folder with combo blade (I dislike serrations)
3) A older (but new) Smith and Wesson Work Horse CH0021 (Honestly, it feels like a $5 China knife and has a slight recurve which I dislike-I don't even remember when/where I got it)

Please let me know if that is acceptable. I'll pay shipping in the US on all three knives, regardless if they go to one person or three people.
