LOWER PRICES!
***IF YOU HAVE EVER PURCHASED FROM ME BEFORE, OR YOU ARE CURRENTLY SERVING IN THE US ARMED FORCES, PLEASE TAKE $50 OFF MY LISTED PRICES***
I will only communicate through DM/PM here on the forum... I will not respond to emails. Any questions, please feel free to ask. I'll do my best to get back to your inquiries as soon as possible. Please check my feedback: I'm a long-standing member with 100% positive feedback for both buying and selling.
PAYMENT AND SHIPPING: If you are relatively new to the forum, have very little or no feedback, or are acting as a shipping proxy/forwarder for an overseas client, I will ask you to pay via PPFF only... no exceptions. I will accept Zelle or PayPal FF. If you are a long-time member or have considerable positive feedback you may pay by PPG&S, that's definitely OK with me, but PLEASE don't reference Microtech or anything in the remarks indicating it's an automatic knife. I will ship, at my expense, from my home in Texas, via USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate, with Signature Confirmation. If you prefer another shipping carrier, we can discuss. I will NOT ship to Mexico, Canada, or any location overseas. For overseas buyers, if you choose to use a shipping proxy/forwarder/middle-man, our business ends when the knife is successfully delivered to your proxy. Shipping will occur NEXT BUSINESS DAY following payment. It is the buyer's responsibility to determine the legality of owning/possessing an automatic knife in their state/jurisdiction. BTW, I package all items I ship extremely carefully. You may be annoyed at the amount of tape and padding I use... lol.
TRADES: None on these knives... thanks anyway.
OFFERS: I've adjusted my prices as far as I will. My discount shown above still applies to previous buyers and US military personnel!
PICS: I apologize for the minor dust, oil, and fingerprints in these photos below, and sorry about any unintentional reflections. There are 10 pics below, but there are 41 more I have posted in this Google album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/SCEPmCQBeHr9B2NE8
THE KNIVES - PRICES/PICS/DESCRIPTIONS: Full descriptions are BELOW the pictures.
- $500 FIRM - VINTAGE WHARNCLIFFE COMBAT TROODON SATIN SERRATED (145-8) W/S30V BLADE STEEL
- ***WITHDRAWN*** - WEATHERED TURQUOISE COMBAT TROODON D/E APOCALYPTIC, RARE W/FLUTING (142-10 APWTQ) W/M390 BLADE STEEL
- ***SOLD*** - EMPEDC PULSE R "AKA RIDCULOUS" W/MAGNACUT BLADE STEEL
THE KNIVES - FULL DESCRIPTIONS:
- VINTAGE WHARNCLIFFE COMBAT TROODON SATIN SERRATED (145-8) W/S30V BLADE STEEL - This is a true gem! Very early Combat Troodon that has a black anodized aluminum "smooth chassis," no claw logo (sterile) on show side, the long-ellimated "F" and "R" arrow indicators under the switch (Fire and Retract), and the pocket clip has the old and desired "Dino/Troodon Head." This knife has a very early production date of 10/2007 and a serial number of #1082. It's in excellent condition for its age and has just a little bit of wear from storage and handling, and a little light shadowing/hazing on a couple spots on the satin blade (very common on as-ground S30V). Since I am not the original owner, it's possibly seen use, but if so, it must have been extremely minor in nature. I'd confidently say this vintage Combat Troodon is in 98+% condition but it is an older knife, so I definitely can't state "like or near new." The blade is a beautiful satin and appears to have its sharp original edge. This knife operates smoothly and strongly with zero mechanical hesitation or issues. And a huge plus, this vintage Combat Troodon comes with its original labeled Microtech box, all papers, and its original Microtech nylon clip sheath, that appears entirely unused! The outer box sleeve has obvious shelf and storage wear but still very much intact. These don't come up often for sale, especially in this condition with the original box. paperwork and Microtech sheath included.
- WEATHERED TURQUOISE COMBAT TROODON D/E APOCALYPTIC, RARE W/FLUTING (142-10 APWTQ) W/M390 BLADE STEEL - Produced at the tail end of the Combat Troodon Gen II production run, a few of these Weathered Turquoise Combat Troodons were made with fluted blades, which are normally only seen on the pricier Delta Frag models and the Scarab IIs. Not all Weathered Turquoise models produced during the end of the Gen II production run came with fluted blades... only a few. You will find some without fluted blades out there with the exact same month/year of production and same model number on the box as this one. The one listed here is a rarer unadvertised variant with a production date of 01/2024 and a serial number of #45432. Original labeled box and papers.
- EMPEDC PULSE R "AKA RIDCULOUS" W/MAGNACUT BLADE STEEL - Purchased by me directly from EMPEDC, this was the very last black-anodized aluminum handled, satin drop point version John Rusk had for sale. Pulse R was made specifically as a "one-and-done" run--a proof of concept for a "ridiculously-sized OTF--and to ultimately "break the mold as to what an OTF could be." It is awesome, sold out, and no more will ever be made. The action is superb and the finishing is perfect, with a beautiful compound hollow grind on this version. This thing feels great in hand and even has wonderful jimping on the spine, something rarely seen in autos. It comes with its original box, zippered and embroidered EMPEDC pouch, decals, poker chip and COA.
Thanks for looking!
