I have the following to trade. If you're interested in any of these knives I'm more than happy to take all the photos you need.
I'm looking for locking Axes and other choppers, saks (Button lock models preferred to liner lock), Alox SAKs, Byrds (G10 Robin, G10 Meadowlark and Flatbyrd especially), Boker Trance and fixed blades small enough for EDC.
1. User Endura 3. Was SE, ground it the PE and started reprofiling it flat to the stone. Cuts better than a stock Endura as far as edge thickness is concerned. Solid lock up, smooth opening and plenty of life left in the knife, just lots of cosmetic flaws. ATS55 bladesteel and no boye dent. Photos:

2. Vic Bantam. Reprofiled the blade and ground the tip of the combo tool to a chisel (V grind though, not a traditional chisel grind). Combo tool still functions like a normal one. Cuts extremely well.
3. Wood Jewel Puukko. Not 100% sure I'm willing to let this go, but make me the right offer and I'll ship it your way. Came with a secondary bevel and that contradicts what I like about scandi ground blades, so I reprofiled it flat to the main bevel. Has a gray spot or two, but hardly any patina formed and it would easily rub off with some high grit sandpaper or during the next sharpening. Been used a couple of times, but it's in excellent shape. Here's a link to the Ragweedforge page on it (5th one down, the "Big Carving Knife") http://ragweedforge.com/WoodJewelCatalog.html
4. User Leek. Black Smoke handles, snap on logo on one side. Began a mirror polish on the blade to improve corrosion resistance, reprofiled the edge, took out the safety and broke in the speedsafe system. Great knife for someone who intends to use it often. Here's a photo, mirror polish looks better in person than it does in the photo.

5. Buck 371 large stockman. Wood grain handles, 3 stainless blades (Sheepsfoot, spey and clip). Sheepsfoot blade reprofiled flat to the stone for improved cutting ability.
