All knives below are in mint condition unless otherwise noted, pictures available upon request. I do ask for a little patience when asking for pics as I am physically disabled and have six safes to go through to get to them to take pictures. All knives include 2 day shipping to lower 48 and will come from a commercial account, pay pal taken fees are on you, or will accept postal money order. Your satisfaction is guaranteed and is my primary concern that we are both satisfied, I have worked hard to keep a perfect rating through the years and don't know how many times I have heard a skeptical there is "NO WAY you have that in NIB condition!" Only to get a super stoked customer when they get their knife which has been riding it out in my safe for 8 years. O.K. Here comes the list of what I'm starting to part with so far.....

#1 Strider SMF XL S30V grey handle scale recurve blade w/light tigerstripe pattern on blade, back of knife is flamed titanium. $1400 o.b.o.

#2 Emerson CQC7 w/custom reblade by Warren Thomas (Titanium w/carbon fiber bonded to it) weighs approx .07 oz. handle & blade mint condition comes in an Emerson box for a Cqc7sv $715o.b.o.

#3 Mikkel Williumsen "Urban Tactical" HUGE CPM-154cm blade greenish faded to off green and black around the outsides quite intimidating blade flipper, with frame lock stop. Was a part of a run of 10 for Blade HQ approx 5 years ago but each one had a different scale so technically it's a one off. $1099 o.b.o.

#4 Sniper Blade Works "LPC" CPM-154CM tanto with a factory "error" so to speak which makes it VERY special. On these knives they usually can only be openened by a single or duel thumb stud. The tang off the back of the blade of this one just so happens to stick through the end further than normal though allowing it to be used as a flipper. Never seen another one with this non intentional tang. Asking $1100. green handle scale, titanium frame lock, satin blade with large fuller. (Blood groove)

#5 one of a kind Michael Prater Case Tony Bose backpocket "prototype" fully file worked ebony handles with giant mother of pearl inlay. For those of you who have seen Michaels work up close, you know what your getting and here's your chance to own something no one else has, as this model never went into production, it's absolutely stunning, black w/silver file work, highly polish and engraved blade. An AMAZING one off by Prater. $699 o.b.o. A stunning knife for the gentleman in your life ladies, includes pouch, c.o.a. & blade.
 
Just an update folks, was in a car wreck the other night and then caught a 24 hour bug, sorry if I haven't responded to your emails yet but will, please try and bear with me,

O.K. Some asshat, who's name I won't mention, pm's me about my strider - and asks you f I will consider trades of equal or greater value, well if you look at my other recent posts - it's obvious I'm trying to unload knives for cash primarily not accrue more, but I said sure I'll consider it. Well I knew right away he was a Strider expert when he asks about the box. (sarcasm for those of you who have BOUGHT striders not traded for) I have bought two traded for one. So when I sent the pictures of it taken from my phone in poor lighting he asked for better pictures. I expected that & said I'd take some with it side by side with my SMF (which I can't find at the moment as right before my car crash I had moved half my safes and all my guitar amps around in my room then after the wreck was in too much pain to refill the safes so right now besides my a Gun safe I have probably 15 thousand dollars in bags of knives on the floor perimeter of my room as I am going to take pictures of them all as I store them so I don't have to dig any out for future sales. Having had this request only 3 days from going to my pain doc. I wasn't even back to normal yet but found my SnG cc and took some pics in good lighting with the SnG cc and the SMF-XL and I put in a protech runt auto and an al mar osprey and thought I had the measuring tape in view as well but that's irrelevant to the point here. I take some very good pics of the SMG XL and you can see the SnG cc very well also. I told him beforehand it was a very old model (I.E. before Paul Bos died as it had the Bos heat treat stamp but frankly I doubt he even knows who that is after the bs I went through with this foolio) He had asked me when they were made I said truthfully I didn't remember it was quite a few years back (after personal research and reflection they made them for 3 months in 2009) and when they were making them the dealers had NO information from Strider as to when they would cease production, that there had been standards and customs, and that mine was a standard with a polar grey scale which was exclusive to where I bought it (Knifeart.com). He said he had never heard of them, I said not surprised they are very rare. So after getting the new pics first he calls my SnGcc a fake, even though I said it was quite old (& btw had said I really didn't want to part with it OR my regular SMF for that matter either as he had wanted a kicker which I was o.k. with)
So he says after consulting with his friends he can find no proof these ever existed even though I found a link to a custom which was either consigned or sold to arizonactsimknives.com as well as this very similar but different measurements than mine (mine is 10" o.a.l. 4,3/8" top 5" bottom blade length with a tiger stripe recurve and the polar grey recurve which was a knife art.com only scale. Which on the topic of that I offered to produce the original receipt to no avail, it was a fake until he showed my pics to Mick, then afterwards the knife is still LMFAO a fake which I just find hysterical because this asshat approaches me tells me he totally trusts me from my trader rating (which is a good reason) then procedes to insult me, and shows pictures which #1 & I tell everyone this, I claim to be NO great photographer, and idk how you can call something a fake when you can't even see the strider engraving logo in the blade etc. and really If someone doesn't accept proof of sale from an authorized Strider dealer with the goods and the box (lol) yeah I tossed the Baggie I'm sure we all do for a soft case when we decide to put a really rare knife into a giant locked metal box for years for safekeeping and defers to friends to see if an item exists over a link from a custom knife shop consigned 3 years ago for sale being almost identical (just not as nice) http://www.arizonacustomknives.com/xl-smf-.aspx EVEN SHOWING THE KNIFEART.COM ONLY HANDLE SCALE! My point of all this a word to the wise, when someone approaches you, wanting to trade something for something you want to sell, flatters you saying they totally trust you because of your trader rating next thing you know you've wasted hours of your life they are basically calling you a crook and threatening to turn your post into the forums, tell them your number one if you catch my drift and keep on with your business. That's one problem why trying to make others happy. You end up miserable in the process.

image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgHere it is, my fake SMF-XL in all its fake glory, maybe someone who knows Striders and doesn't have a superiority complex or a head up the ass can take a look and see that it's real even though I don't have the box... Sorry couldn't resist the last jab.

I like here how I've managed to make a fake measuring tape to make it appear 10 inches long, a fake al mar osprey, hell even a fake white TV dinner tray for contrast! I am a MASTER of forgeries! Sorry for the facetiousness and sarcasm but after this email :

Chris,

I've heard back from Mick via Instagram and he said both knives pictured are fake. There's nothing else you can say or email that's going to change my mind as I am not at all interested in buying or trading with you. In fact, I will be reporting your post to Blade Forums as well.

I wouldn't piss on this fool if he were on fire, now I'll let it die.
 
Ironically a couple others were interested in the Strider, one had wanted to trade a custom Clark one off knife, but after listening to other stuff I had we traded a Bodega & a almost mint Case Tony Bose Lannys Clip for his Clark. Other than the USPS losing the Clark for 22 days and having him worried as heck and me frustrated when they denied the insurance claim without being able to explain why (they had finally found the package, but that should have been in the file of my elevated case number) as he and I were both furious at that point wondering what insurance was for - that was a great trade for both. And he said it was really nice to deal with some with as much honesty & integrity as myself, but I must defer as I'll say he is every bit the same if not more (only because coming from a younger generation) it's so pleasant to see such selflessness as this man possessed. I don't know his forum name because we corresponded mostly by phone & text but when I get it I will be giving him great feedback as this guy is a gem to deal with, a polar opposite of the one described above. It's sad there has to be that one apple.......
