I am selling these two knives to fund a Busse/Swamp Rat binge.
Right now the only trades I would be interested in would be a TGLB, RMD with leather sheath +$, and RMD in INFI, maybe a GSO 7/7 +$ or GSO 10+$.
I accept Paypal, price includes fees and insured USPS priority mail. Money orders are great if you don't mind being patient and will wait for it all to arrive to me before I mail out. I am stationed in Germany, so any German BF members, I will ship to you too, same price. I will take Euro conversion or cash if you want to visit in Bavaria.
Email is the best way to get in touch with me, but PM works too.
With all that out of the way, here are the knives:
KINGDOM ARMORY MINI SAMARITAN NOW Sold to Anonnomis
Like new in the original Bill's Custom Case. I carried it once for about 15 minutes, cut some arm hair and probably some paper and put it in my sock drawer. I received this in a trade on Bladeforums and it is a beautiful knife, but I am just not into carbon fiber.
There are only 15 of these that have been made, and only 13 of them are in the hands of the public. Apparently the maker kept one and gave one to his daughter. When it came to me, it was sent straight back from Dave at Kingdom Armory for larger bronze phosphorus washers and torx screws in the pocket clip instead of phillips-head screws. This was a concern I read about from some people online, so in that sense it is better than new. Solid lock-up, very tight tolerances. Thinnest cut-out for the lockbar that I have ever seen. I like that the front scale is even with the lockbar, so the handles are symmetrical (pics show it better than words).
The carbon fiber scale has a flaw in the center, captured in the next picture, which came that way.
The blade is a bit off-center, but I haven't done anything to correct it.
UMNUMZAAN NOW withdrawn
Won't carry your Chris Reeve Knife because you are worried about putting that first scratch on it? Let me mess it up for you! Buy this knife at a great price and carry away care-free knowing you got it for a song. A $320 song. I bought it used on the forums and loved it. I was convinced I would carry it until the day I died until I got a user Sebenza 25, and I havent picked up the Umnumzaan since. I took good care of this knife, and used it everyday for a few months. I love the blade-stops because it is the closed blade stop, thumb stud, and open blade stop. It is an awesome knife, but I always end up choosing the 25, so I figured I would sell it and buy another if I really end up missing it later on.
I had gotten it in fantastic condition- not even broken in yet. It is now broken in and smoother and easier to open than any of my other knives (even easier than my Hinderer AND with a stronger detent.) It has a half-hearted scotchbrite shine on the front scale, it should be stropped, and it looks like it had been dropped and dented a smidgen on the scale where the blade-stop lands open (see picture).
I think the previous owner touched up the edge- I haven't touched it at all. Also included are blue glow-in-the-dark o-rings installed. I will send the black ones with- switch them if you like, they will be yours.
It was born in 2013. It comes with everything. The grease came to me pretty low- not quite empty. The loctite leaked in the styrofoam, so there is some purple funkiness in there, but if you are still interested after reading this, I am guessing that isn't a deal breaker.
If it doesn't sell, I will tell my wife I tried, keep it, and buy the TGLB anyways.
I can take more if you want to see something in particular.

Here is the dent I was talking about:
And the mark on the thumb stud/blade stop:
Still locks up fine at the blade stop:
Lockup about 50%:
