So, I have an itch something awful to try out the (supposed!) glory of the Spyderco Paramilitary, which to me seems to be about the best mid-sized production folder out there design-wise. Thing is, I'm in a tight spot financially. So, the more I think about this, the more I realize...
what I want isn't more knives,
what I want are new knives. I mean collecting isn't about who has the biggest stockpile (you can't have a competition where you win by spending the most money, can you? Oh, right - politics) but rather, about the experience of trying new things. All of the knives I have, I absolutely adore. But what I realize is I'd adore trying out something new (that is spoken of so highly here.)
Therefore, I'm hoping someone is intererested in trading me for a Spyderco Paramilitary of some sort. I have multiple folders, and I'd be willing to trade multiple lower-end folders for a single paramil.
So here's what I'm looking for
Spyderco Paramilitary, plain edge. I know there are 4 million different kinds of para's out there, and I can't really pick which I want first. I'm sort of drawn to the green G10 handled CPM-D2 model, but I'm a big fan of CPM S30V as well. I really like the digital camo handles, but I'm not picky.
here's what I've got up for trade.
-Bradley Alias I, full size, plain edge, gray Ti handled framelock. Gorgeous knife. Would have to be +cash on this one as it's my daily carry and nicest knife.
-Spyderco Endura 4 Wave, blue FRN handles, some wear on clip, recently resharpened by Rich @ Davi's Gun Shop (he's the man.)
-Spyderco Delica 4 ZDP-189: currently disassembled, but if you're picky, I can put it back together
. Green FRN handles
-Kershaw Groove: 13c26 steel with the trippy RJ Martin grooved blade. Nice knife. Hardly carried.
-Kershaw Junkyard Dog II: Green G10 handles, half-serrated 13c26 satin finish blade. Almost perfect shape.
-Kershaw Zing: another RJ Martin, orange handles, fun little knife. 14c28, flipper.
-Kershaw Skyline
-Kershaw Junkyard Dog I: stainless handles, custom polished by yours truly, nice small carry
-Benchmade Barrage: assisted open axis lock knife, nifty as hell, FRN handles and 154cm spear point blade. Kicks like a mule when you open it.
-Benchmade Mini Griptilian (555HG): black handles, sheeps-foot hollow ground blade with hole opener, axis lock, 154CM. Secondary daily carry, heavily worn coating on clip, otherwise great shape.
Hopefully I'll hear from someone!
edit: also have a pretty old Sheffield Cutlery fixed blade with leather sheath sitting around somewhere, too
