Hello BladeForums
! I'm offering the knife listed below. Payment by paypal, I cover fees and shipping from my end. USPS money order also accepted. The best way to contact me is by email- robcelani at hotmail dot com. Email and PM through BladeForums are cool as well. International sales will be considered, shipping and international paypal fee will be extra.
I have a good reputation and excellent feedback here on BladeForums as well as many other knife related forums. I collect, buy, sell and trade for fun but I conduct myself in a professional manner in all my transactions. My goal is to describe and picture the knife as accurately as possible. I try and put myself in the buyers shoes and provide as much relevant information as necessary for you to make an informed decision.
If you want to purchase the knife, please post "I'll take it" in the thread and then contact me. Offers, questions, request for additional pictures or anything else please contact me. Trade offers are welcome. Please refer to my want list so that we don't waste each others time. At a minimum I need to know the condition, your opinion of value and please provide quality pictures.
Trade Interest:
Switchblades
- Dalton - Titanium handle, large side opener, most of the out the front stuff.
- Microtech - Halo and Amphibian are always of interest. Older Vero Beach production stuff depending on what it is. Also looking for a lightly used Executive Scarab with a single edge blade. I'd prefer tanto style but might consider others.
- James Brothers
- Desert Knife Works
- Masters of Defense aka MOD
- White Wolf
- Woodard
- Other quality custom or production switchblades considered.
Fixed blades
- Busse - Original Fusion Battle Mistress (FBM) with Corrugated Bevel Technology (CBT), possibly FBM variants and Satin Team Gemini (TG) from Blade 2014.
Knuckle Dusters
- Woody
- Dalton - Older production not the new stuff.
- Other quality pieces considered.
SOLD - Microtech ADO Green Tanto Blade, LNIB - $185 - SOLD
- Nice user for the bug out bag or add to your Microtech collection.
- I just did a search and I'm way below dealers and other online sources.
- Includes box, sheath, tool, papers and plastic baggie it came in.
- No use, looks basically new with the exception of the clip being bent, see picture at bottom of post. It's not bad and could be used as is but it is noted.
