Alright, just got some new knives in but have to get rid of them due to one problem or another.
First up is a Carbon Fiber inlay CPM-154 Kershaw Blur LNIB. Carried it for a day but couldn't get used to the handle or find a comfortable grip so on to someone else who will be able to use it! Edge has never been used, but the clip shows some wear from my day of carrying it. I swapped the clip from tip down to tip up. There is also a small dent in the CF that I attempted to get a picture of but it was pretty small and hard to catch the light. I'll point it out in the pictures though. Comes with box, KErshaw Warranty and Info Slip, and Silica Desiccant. Blur is gone thanks BF!
As you can see, there is a small scratch on the clip to the left of the K.
The sides of the clip too appear to be worn, but I can't tell if its wear or just catching the light differently, so I'll err on the side of caution and say they're worn down too. Kershaw will send a new clip if you ask though so it shouldn't be much a problem.
Here you can kinda see the dent in the CF, just above the W on the clip.
Close up of the dent. It's the darker part above the W, that looks like a C pretty much. It came like that from the place I bought it from and is smooth, not jaggedy or rough to the touch.
Next up is a Caly 3.5 Super Blue Gray G-10 Sprint. It is gone now! Bought it as a back-up to my user one but it had a fair amount of small specks of rust near the heel of the blade and in the jimping. Not really noticeable by the bare eye but it really jumped out at me through a 30x loupe. I was able to get most of it off with some CLP and 1500 grit sand paper and you can't see any scratches from the sandpaper but we'll still call this one a light user since there may be more Rust that I missed or wasn't able to get off. As such, this knife comes with a disclaimer, there may be rust on the blade and I will try my best to get pictures of it but in some cases my camera is just not good enough to capture the specks of rust as they may be too small or inside the jimping and covered by shadows. As such, if you receive the knife and proceed to complain about minimal rust I will simply point you to this disclaimer. If there is larger rust visible to the naked eye, then I will do as much as I canto satisfy both parties, up to reimbursing you for shipping charges and trading knives back. Additionally, there is a small black spot on the tang of the blade to the right of the Spyderco Stamp. It would not come off from the sandpaper so I left it alone. Currently the knife is inside its box with a silica desiccant pac and the blade and tang have been coated in CLP to prevent further rusting or staining. The blade has never been used or sharpened. Comes with box and papers as well as special brown anti-moisture paper that all Spyderco Super Blue knives are shipped in. Now on to the pictures.
Everything the knife comes with, as you can see it has papers, baggie, wrapping paper, box, and a silica pac.
Correct papers for the knife, in case that interests you.
The left side of the blade. Also you can see the black spot on the tang just to the right of the tang stamp.
right side of the blade. Nothing extraordinary here.
Handle + clip. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
Opposite side fo the handle. The marks on the tang are from the CLP as I was working on the tang and into the pivot. Should wipe away easily.
Close up of the black spot on the tang. Dunno what it is, probably a some sweat or something fell onto this part and started a patina.
As you can see, it is the correct box.
Alright, disclaimer time. I'd prefer to keep this in the US as well, unless you are willing to chip in more for shipping costs (I can get a quote from the USPS if you want so we can figure out a fair price depending on where you are). By responding to this ad, you agree that you are over the age of 18 and can legally own the knife/knives in question in your jurisdiction, I am not responsible for knowing or following the laws in your jurisdiction, that is on you. I have the right to halt and reverse any trade wherever it may be if I feel you are under the age of 18 (or for any other reason) and may require you to show ID if I have any concerns. Should the trade be halted, I will return your knife and cover your shipping costs. The first unconditional "I'll take it" sent by email will have priority, but please leave a reply in this thread as well.

However, I am always interested in new knives so don't feel constrained by this list. I may not know I wanted a knife until you showed it to me!
Thanks for looking!
