Here is an updated list of some more of the items I have for trade:
Have some nice ones here. Some of the links are to the actual knives being sold and some are to the same model. I think which are which are pretty clear but if you have questions, just ask. I can't post pics so I am doing the best that I can. I try to make my descriptions as accurate as possible. Feel free to contact me for more info.
1. Benchmade 856
Pre-production model NIB numbered 123 out of only 500. Plain edge ATS-34. The knife I am selling is the same except that it is ATS-34 stainless steel instead of D2 steel which is a high carbon non-stainless steel. Also mine is a pre-production model and is numbered.

2. Spyderco Police.
SS ATS-55 blade PE. Slightly used with minor scuffs and scratches on handle and blade but not bad. Lock-up is outstanding on this one. Appears to have factory edge but it is not as sharp as it should be. I will sharpen it on request if a trade is made.

3. Spyderco Titanium Salsa.
PE new in black pouch, not a box but a black zipper pouch. Very nice looking and feeling knife. Very smooth. Link shows CE version but mine is PE. From what I understand, the PE version is already hard to find.

NIB PE grey FRN.

5 Ontario RTAK.
Used but other than some marks on the blade, still in great shape. Comes with sheath and box. Not D2 steel but whatever the other type they use on these knives is.
6. Cold Steel Safe Keeper II push dagger. NIB.

7. Bark River Woodland in Green Canvas Micarta.
This is a first production run in like new shape with matching Bark River leather sheath. Bark River WoodLand Special which has a 11/64" thick blade compared to the current model which has a 5/32" blade. The blade is 3.25" long with a cutting edge of 2-7/8" made of A-2 tool steel at around 60HRC with Bark Rivers signatory convex grind. The knife is 6-15/16" in overall length and has a Green Canvas Micarta handle with hollow rivets and a lanyard hole.

8. Ontario SP18 - Frontiersman.
Here is a user for you! This knife was used as a thrower, had the tang bent then rebent to straight, then was used to cut apart dried plaster. its tip area needs to be resharpened, but the main edge is in good shape and sharp. the tang has been epoxied into place, and the pommel hole filled with epoxy. Sounds bad but looks better than the description. It is actually stronger than new with the epoxy filled handle now. I have used this to trim my rose bushs and it slices though the branches like they are not there. This is a real user not a display knife. Like most of Ontarios products, they shine when used not when looked at.

9. British Golock. This is the crappy knife. I am not even sure it is a knife so much as a lawnmower blade with a wood handle and nice sheath. I think the sheath is better than the knife in fact. I tried putting an edge on this beast when I got it new with a grinder but it didn't turn out very well. The steel is just too soft to get a good edge. Maybe someone out there needs a camp knife that they wouldn't mind too much if it got lost. I actually haven't used it except to beat on a fallen tree for a few minuits. I say "beat" on the tree because saying chop or cut would be a stretch. Some people like these but I am not one of them.

Looking for folders mostly. I like Sypderco and some Benchmades. Here are some off the top of my head that I would be interested in:
Al Mar Nomad
Benchmade 940 or most any of the 900 Osborns except the Tanto blade. I like the 921 Switchback as well. I also like the BM spikes.
Spyderco: CF Police, Delica PE, Centofante 4, Ti Police, Centofante II PE, Centofante 4, others.
Seki-City Bob Lum Encounter. Prefer the large Micarta version but let me know what you have.
Others?
