Received my PIF tin knife today. First, kudos for amazing pack job, second, thanks for a great small blade. Very excited to put it to use.

Cheers,
Patrick
 
I'll give that quirky little guy a home if nobody else loves it ;)

I forgot about this Gator, might even be my first "mod", lol. It was a Nosler edition in 154cm that my uncle gave me in a box of knives. The original blasted finish spotted pretty easy, so I polished it/clipped the point/fileworked it within an inch of it's life;) Super comfy handle, awesome slicer:)

I am also waiting on a shipping notice for the Kiwi from @joeldworkin307 . The Cold Steel Counterpoint XL was delivered last week :)

Looks like the Griploc is yours.
 
I designed a series of new logos for @T.L.E. Sharp and delivered them today.

I also picked up my knife from a previous PIF from bikerector bikerector . I hope you enjoyed the coffee and the hour of your life you'll never get back

It was a pleasure chatting with another knife geek along with the other things in life that deserved to be talked about. I hope the knife serves you well, it's certainly an uncommon one.

I've added a GEC 48 bloodwood and removed the HK Feint.

Preference goes to claiming the whole lot.

Thanks sbh06 sbh06 .

I'd like to offer up a traditional S&M Canoe. It has red bone scales and I believe it is 1 out of 20 made.

Essentially it's like new in box.

PM or email me at scalmcnay@gmail.com

Thanks BF.
Sent you a message on this. Tempted to give it a try. Have a couple things to potentially offer up to restock the thread. Thanks!
 
I'm going to offer up one more item, a well used Ontario Rat 2. Preference is that it goes to someone knew or wants to try one of these out as they're generally viewed as a starter knife because of the price but it's really been a great work knife when I used it more in a refrigerated warehouse inspecting product.

It's far from new, the blade is in good shape but the clip has been beaten up pretty well as I kept adjusting the clip so that it would slip onto my softshell coat better. Looks ugly but it works.

The knife also makes a pretty sweet wood carver for a short bladed bushcraft folding blade. I've brought it to the woods on many trips and always liked how it shaved wood. R2D2 will be in my future.

Not expecting a PIF in return on this one, just trying to pass it along.

I'd like to give that S&M Canoe a try. Have a couple things to offer up in replacement. Let me know if I should add to it or if it looks good.

  • Kabar Elephant Toe (Bikerector will recognize this one ;)) - Doesn't have a box. Lighter pull on the springs and in great shape. Got it off the exchange and admired it, but never really got into it. Was a pattern I always wanted to try but then realized I would never carry/use it, and I am not a collector, so back into the wild!
  • Boker Tech Tool - got it as part of an exchange deal on here and never used it. LNIB.
  • Mini Tuff Lite - added to an exchange deal on here and never used it

That's a nice way to put it. Restocking the thread.

What do you have in mind?

Thanks Sabre. I think it better represents the PiF vs the "trading" metaphor that got stuck to it early on. Seems more like a stock of items that people can choose from, then you restock the tank. Like "take a penny, leave a penny." Anyone can add pennies, but can always take as long as you leave the collection as good or better than you found it.

Haha, certainly recognize that elephant toe. I had the same feelings about it. Glad I bought it or I'm sure I would have considered buying the GEC whaler that's completely uses to me, other than eye candy. They're big and awkward, IMO, but I bet people with big hands appreciate the larger perch.

Those boker tech tools have been an interest. Kind of wish you had used it as I would love to pick your brain about the usefulness of the saw and serrated skinner/pruner saw? Not sure what's on the opposing end of the knife blade. I don't use my victorinox as it is so feels like a waste to get another one to randomly place somewhere... but I've PIF'ed a lot of those "interests" so I have room for a few more now. Who ever claims that, I would be interested in a follow-up to see what you like/don't like about it. I'll be honest, having something different is part of the allure over getting a victorinox too and I've been impressed with boker's slipjoints compared to the cost of similar quality offerings.
