New up for trade: Boker Black ceramic blade, Infinity 89. Vintage about 1999/2000... Don't recal ever carrying it, virtually new except for a scuff (?) on blade, not sure how it got there or what could put it there, but its there only visible in some light/angles, see third photo. Otherwise LNIB, with box and paper wrap and card, Box is a bit tatty. Bought it because I was interested in the black ceramic blade, then had no use for it, since I had a ceramic kitchen knife in white that I got to try the ceramic edge holding with. Edge is very sharp, as I received it new.

Second: Kershaw Avalanche S30V black blade, G10 scales, carried lightly used lightly, still factory edge, slight wear on clip, and some light random marks on the black blade finish. Strong positive action from the torsion bar, great lockup, blade is as closely centred as any I've seen. G10 still has the very aggressive finish. Really grippy in hand, eats pocket edges.
Great knife, that I like the various components/features of, but somehow never warmed to the whole knife. No box or papers, sorry.

Third: CRKT Desert Cruiser, Hammond Collboration, has secondary lock, AUS8 steel, partial serrated, LNIB, Never carried, just fondled, comes with papers, box, spare clip, and screws. Bought because I like the brown colour and gold finish blade, the feel in hand is awesome. Factory edge is sharp, as good or better that the above two knives, Secondary bevel is not even between front and back sides. Its just too thick to practically carry in an office environment which is where I work 9-5, M-F, and again not a fan of partially serrated blades.

Make me offers for trade, interested in Kershaw/ZT, Benchmade, interesting steels, smaller fixed blades EDCs, a fixed blade suitable as a boys first knife (for a friend's son). Willing to group together and/or add cash or other goodies (I have high tech fine rope,(AMSTEEL/Technora) makes 550 look like cotton butchers string, Fox Whistles, one hand firesteel strikers...) I'm located in Canada.
First up: the Benchmade AFCK 806 D2 Axis lock with CE. Carried one maybe two times. Never cut anything, but crappy ppaint on clip shows some marks from this. Edge is factory, secondary bevel is even to my eye, lock up is good, blade is 'very' close to centered. No marks that I'm aware of on knife other than clip. Love the axis lock, love the smooth feel and quality, not a fan of the combo edge or the blade shape on the AFCK. Carries well for a larger folder. Comes with papers, bag and box. TRADED.
