I thought I'd throw these knives up for trade for a few days to see what kind of trade offers I might get for a PERFECT, NIB Spyderco CF S90V Para 2, a NIB Spyderco Lum Chinese Folder in VG10, a like new but no box, Jim Burke Pro Rockstar in with stonewashed Ti scales and a perfect, NIB Spyderco Sage 3.
The S90V Para 2 is a perfect production specimen in every respect. The pictures will speak for themselves. All I can add is the action is smooth and still new feeling. This knife has been out of the box to inspect and take pictures and that's it. Lock up is perfect, edge grinds are especially thin and even. An AWESOME CF S90V Para 2 in every way.
The CF Lum Folder is also a perfect production specimen. The pictures should tell the story. Action is very smooth and lockup is solid in every direction.
The Jim Burke Pro Rockstar is like new but it doesn't have a box. I acquired this knife in a trade as new but unfortunately, the other party did not mention at any time that this knife did not come with a box while the entire time he insisted that the knives I traded did come with a box. I guess I failed to ask. The knife is indeed new looking but it has been carried one time by me. You will see a minor mark on the scale near the smooth side of the pivot screw in the picture. The lock is smooth but has just a slight tick when releasing. Not a stick but a minor tick if you know what I mean. I disassembled the knife to inspect the interior and I also painted the lockbar contact point with some Sharpie before I reassembled. There was no damage or marring done when I took it apart and put it back together and it comes apart and reassembles very easily and right back to center. You can't tell it's been disassembled whatsoever. The lock up is super early and is ROCK solid and the action is one of the smoothest I have ever operated. This is a really nice knife and I'm not even sure I want to trade it but I'm posting it now anyway. If this one doesn't go, I'll be very happy keeping it. If you aren't aware, Jim Burke designed the blade stop into the inside of one of the scales so there is no exterior stop pin. I also inspected the blade stop on the inside when the knife was apart and there is no sign of hard deployment at all. It looks new inside.
The Spyderco Sage 3 is also a PERFECT production speciment. NIB, never carried, dead center blade and amazingly smooth action. The pictures will tell the story. The lockup is rock solid. The Bolt Action Lock can be disengaged one handed sort of like an Axis lock but just a little bit more resistance.
I will entertain any trade offers with any combination of these knives that you choose. I'm not offering up a wish list except perhaps a NIB or LNIB large Sebenza or a NIB or LNIB Strider SNG. Cash can even out a trade from either party depending on the offer. Let's hear/see what you have! I'd like to keep the trade isolated to the United States of America only please. I will ship USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation and suitable insurance.
