I have too many knives. I need to open some slots in the safe so what I'm looking to do is trade multiples knives for your knife, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, that sort of thing. I like flippers, it's what I'm use to. That being said, I'm not gonna scoff at someone looking to move a thumb stud Terzuola. Not after anything spring assisted or automatic, just never really took to those. I might be interested in a Tomahawk, I need to research those as I'm not sure how to describe what I like in that realm and if it's even called a Tomahawk. I'll list an honest assessment of each knife below.
Edit: I should add that I'm open to some firearm things like a handgun red dot, Trijicon MRO or ACOG.
Rat Worx MRX - Purchased new, never carried or used. Have all the stuff it came with new.
Reate Event Horizon - Purchased new, carried dozens of times. Blade hasn't seen any action but the frame does have 5 or 6 scratches on it. Have all the stuff it came with new.
Chris Reeve Enigma - Never used, never carried, have everything it came with new.
Zieba - Purchased new. I don't remember what it's called, maybe someone can help me with that. The blade hasn't cut anything but it's been carried a couple dozen times. Blade alignment is a tad off and it might be too tight because it flips a bit stiff. Have whatever it came with new.
Edit: It's a Michael Zieba Bold Dark Copper. It was a limited run, this is number 6. I broke it down today and saw that it was kinda dirty inside. Cleaned it up and now it flips great and the blade alignment has improved as well. Here's more about the knife and where I got it from. Comes with the bead they mention.

Olamic Wayfarer 247 - Second owner, #T063. I haven't cut anything with it but the previous owner may have. It's quite sharp, needs to be taken apart and cleaned as there's some lint and dust in there. I'll have to look but I'm pretty sure I have the box or whatever it came in.
Guardian Tactical Helix Nano - Purchased new, they sent me a tanto blade by mistake and I was too busy to send it back/exchange it. This is number #290. Never carried or used it. Have whatever it came with new.
WE Knife - Purchased new, top right in the photo, don't remember what it's called. It's a pretty big knife, never carried or used. High quality import, flips amazing and feels good in hand. Have whatever it came with new.
Brous Blades - I believe this is called a Strife, it's #004/1000. The flip on this is not smooth at all, quite rough actually. It's also got lock stick. I haven't cut anything with it and I don't carry it.
Spyderco Vallotton Sub-Hilt - Purchased new and never carried or used. I hate Spyderco, absolutely hate! There's nothing wrong with the knife whatsoever, it's more the Spyderco fans I despise. They're worse than dealing with Glock fanatics.
Microtech Custom Sigil - At least that's what I think it's called. Purchased new (Monkey Edge), was around a grand if I remember correctly. Never used it as I can't stand it. Flips like absolute trash! For a thousand dollar knife this is pure shit. I dunno, maybe the finish on the blade is what makes the flipping so rough and there's a way to fix it. The Brous has a similar rough finish on the blade and it too flips like crap. Maybe I've been spoiled with S. African and Shiro knives. Anyway, this is number 002 (09/2016).
Todd Begg Steelcraft Field Marshall - Purchased new and carried about a dozen times. I believe they call these 'midtechs'. Anyway, never cut anything with it and it's in primo shape like most of my shit. Has everything it came with new.
Benchmade CLA - Purchased new and still in same shape, never carried and have whatever it came with new. This is an auto, push button spring action stuff, make sure your state allows for you to have it.
Microtech Combat Troodon - Purchased new and still in same shape. Never carried or used, this thing is awesome unlike that damn Sigil knife. It's a good size knife as you can see in the photo.
Here's a better photo of the knife, it's the exact one I bought, from The Hollow Grind
