Greetings all,
Greetings all, Happy Memorial Day weekend.
Gonna give this nice oneanother go...third times the charm (where are all the 'bushcrafty' types)??
Looking like this very nice sample of an Enzo Trapper might be a catch and release for me. Blade is sterile, but I believe this an older 01/curly Birch version with red liners. I can see why this stout little workhorse would have a strong following, but I'm going to test the waters and see what else might be out there.
Pictures pretty much say it all. Overall, I'd say it's about a 8.5 out of 10 and is ready to be a great user. A few little blemishes here and there, nothing major. The most notable are some small black blemishes on the right side of the blade. Light scuffing to the sheath. I did clean/light polish (by hand/no power tools) the grind area lightly. Also, it came to me with the top sheath rivet missing, which I've had replaced by a local cobbler (it actually matches pretty nicely, goes with the flow of the handle rivets for the knife, a bit of an antiqued look). Improved retention.
New Addition: Deadpool Premier/First Edition. Really, really nice shape. Additional photos available. This will probably go up more when Deadpool 2 comes out in the next summer (June 2018). I also have three other early Deadpool editions from around the same time period if you're a fan. Can provide additional better photos/details.
Trade Interests: Open to offers, but an Emerson CQC8 (satin preferred) Silver Eagles (particularly with the 2016 30th Anniversary edge lettering or 2017 Congratulations 'S' Marked) of comparable value. Suunto watches are also of interest.
Might also trade for greenbacks...see SOP #3 below.
And yes, the vintage Citizen 7 Titanium Automatic watch in the photos might also be worked into a deal, depending on the circumstances.
A few bucks might have to change hands depending on what you've got.
Standard Operating Procedures, Please Read:
1. Any trade offer must be in excellent++/LNIB condition. **If you've done any 'home mods,' I'm probably not interested.**
2. Any traded knife mailed to me must be PROPERLY packaged. That means a proper-sized BOX, bubble wrap, and packing materials. I've grown tired of receiving knives with what appears to be a grand total of about 15 seconds of packing effort. Also: Insurance of the full value of the trade item(s) is required. If you choose not to fully insure the value of the item(s) you're shipping, you assume all reimbursement/replacement costs in the event of loss.
3. If you don't have anything I'm looking for in trade and/or are interested in purchasing and/or have a counter-offer, please do NOT ask me what I'll take for it--email/pm me an offer. Do your research...Low-ballers will be ignored. Also, make sure your resources are current.
4. Please do not waste my time. If you say 'Deal,' I expect you to honor your commitment. Have your financials in order before making offers!!!!.
5. No, generally speaking, my prices aren't 'flipper/pseudo-dealer/profiteer' friendly.
The usuals: USA only, must be 21 years old, payment as specified above. I reserve the right to withdraw at any time, reject any/all offers, with or without selling/trading, trade/sell to who I want with or without explanation, etc etc etc.
May be listed elsewhere as well.
Email or PM with any questions.
Thanks for looking.
