WTT: Benchmade and SOG

[coniferwoodsman]

TRADED BOTH TRADEDUp for trade are an SOG FlashII, partially serrated. Never sharpened- carried a few times. And a Benchmade 15030 Bone Collector. Never sharpened, carried a few times, cut some packing tape. I'm looking for US made traditionals- new, old( as long as the blade is 80% or better. Would trade both for the right knife! Also- I can toss in a CRKT Razel that I got at a gunshow- never liked it- never even tried to sharpen it.
PM with questions.

What type of US made traditionals? Case? Queen? Schrade? I have knives of each brand. Some different styles too, trappers, stockmans, canoe, copperlock,.....etc. I'm interested in the Benchmade.

mley1- Any US made manufacturer will be considered as well as any pattern- I'm particular to Queen, Schrade and some of the older manufacturers. I really like whittlers, stockman and the like- natural hanld material is better as well.
Thanks

I happen to have a large Cattleman stockman from Queen, D2 steel, and grey wooden handle. It has been used and sharpened. But, hasn't been used very much. Bolsters only show a light mark here and there. Handles are excellent. Blades look pretty good, with no play and great walk and talk. I also have a Schrade Walden stockman, with the Uncle Henry badge on the handle, that's a bit smaller. I will have to look up the model number. It's a stainless model. The wharncliffe blade has quite a bit of wear on it. The other two blades look good and the handle looks good. There is some slight blade play in a couple of the blades. Snap is just a touch week on a couple of the blades. The handle on the Schrade Walden is a stag looking synthetic, like most Schrade/Uncle Henry's. I don't have pics. But, could send you some when I get off work tonight.

edited to add: main reason for sharpening is because it came dull from the factory, as most Queens do.
