Alright, except for the one Spydie Delica that was a gift, its time to clean house and get some new (different) blades. I do this about every 5 years or so. The following knives are for sale, with pictures sent upon request, or when I figure out how to put them here, whichever comes first.

Byrd Cara Cara w/ G-10 Handle: Used and carried, scratches on the blade and clip. Very sharp, no blade play, good lockup, and smooth action. $25 shipped.

Gerber Folding Drop Point: Handle is black Kraton and rigid plastic near the pivot, liner lock, bead blast finish on the blade. No pocket clip, one hand opening via a thumb stud. A very comfortable knife in hand, and a clean drop point shape. Blade is roughly 3.5+ inches, and about 7/8" wide. $15 shipped or see combo w/ next knife.

Schrade Old Timer Small Stockman: Clip, Spey, and Sheepfoot blades, carbon steel, made in NY, before the company moved/sold to China. Blades have been sharpened and lightly used. All blades have some darkening. I got this and the Gerber in trade. $20 shipped, or the Gerber and Stockman together for $30 shipped.

CRKT Hissatsu Fixed Blade: 3/16" thick, roughly 6" blade, very pointy and a surpisingly good cutter. The edge has been fully convexed instead of the original grind. It kinda looks like a big, mean, pointier version of Falkniven's H1 hunter. Original sheath and hardware. $40 shipped.

Benchmade Mini-Ambush: Partially serrated, AUS 8, smooth as glass, solid lockup, $30 shipped.

Benchmade 805 Axis TSEK: Back on sale, with a brand new blade from Benchmade. Partially serrated w/ box, $100 shipped.

I prefer money order, as I dont have a paypal account. Knives will be shipped via USPS upon recieving payment. I'm open to trades especially for other Benchmades w/ Axis locks.

Black Handled full size Benchmade Griptillian HG w/ thumb hole opening and modified sheepfoot blade: $50 shipped.
Sharpened on the Sharpmaker and carried for a couple of weeks. Blade edge thinned on the beltsander
enough to allow 20 degree slots to be used, since the original angle was ~25 degrees.
Old Hickory butcher knife 8" blade, sharpened on the belt sander to 9 micron belt and stropped on 1 x 30 leather to a mirror edge: $10 shipped.

Back to the top. Recently had some movement on these, so I thought I'd try again.
