I should be able to answer any questions you might have about the listing. For more details, specs, or pictures, ask and ye shall receive. You can reach me through private message or email. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. I can work with you on the price for some of these and I'm open to trades. Prices include all shipping and Paypal fees in the US. I'll be happy to ship international but the buyer will need pay via F&F, assume all risks, and cover the cost of shipping. Thanks for your time.
For trades, I'm looking for a: Spyderco Magnitude, Spyderco Lum Chinese, Spyderco Myrtle, Striders, BM 610 Ruckus, BM 51 Morpho, ZT 0620 with a G-10 scale, old pivot Umnumzaan, Serge Panchenko knives, Cold Steel 4-Max, Choil-less Hinderer XM, Emerson Iron Dragon, Emerson Big Bulldog, and a Microtech Spartan Grind UT but I'll be happy to hear other offers. Worst I can do is pass and cash can be added either way.
If you are planning to send me an email through the forum, please post on the thread as well to let me know. Some of those are lost in transit and never reach my inbox.
1. Benchmade 757BK Vicar - very good condition - $170 --> Sold
Has a few light scratches on the clip and some scuffs on the coating of the blade
The edge could use a light touchup
Feels really solid in hand
Locks up securely and the action is smooth
The blade slightly favors the lockside when closed
2. Benchmade 15080-1601 Limited Edition Crooked River - brand new in box - $300 --> Traded
Number 338 of 500
In my opinion, one of the best looking folders from BM
Checkered wood scales
Scroll pattern on both bolsters
Brass pivot collar on both sides
No more orange G-10; the spacer is in the same wood as the scales
Smooth action, rock solid lockup, and perfect centering
Comes with everything it originally did
3. Benchmade 550HG Griptilian with AWT Hive Scales - near mint - $150 --> Sold
OD green hive patterned scales from Applied Weapons Technology
Black backspacer also from AWT
Full sized Grip, not the Mini
Makes the knife feel a lot more solid in hand
Smooth action and no play in any direction when opened
The blade slightly favors the clip side but it doesn't come close to rubbing
I do not have the original scales
4. Benchmade 300-1 Ball Axis Flipper - $135
First production #15 of 750
Dead mint, I bought it new and it has just sat in it's box for a while
Never carried or used
154CM blade
Blue and black G-10 scales
Opens smoothly with both the thumbstuds and flipper
blade is well centered
5. Emerson Endeavor SF - like new in box - $160
Serial number: 374
Made in 2013
Limited availability knife from EKI
I can't find a flaw on it, perfect example of an Emerson
Very comfortable in hand
Smooth opening and perfect centering
Comes with all original packaging
6. Emerson Endeavor SF - brand new in box - $160 --> Traded
Serial number 062
This one is an older Endeavor from 2011
The G-10, liners, and pivot are all in the older style
Dead mint, never carried or used
Action is smooth and the blade sits dead center
Locks at around 35%
7. Strider SMF Lego- carried and used - $300 --> Traded
Looks to have been been a reliable user and it still has plenty of life left in it
Unmarked steel (S30V)
Tiger striped blade
OD green G-10
Flamed lockside
Everything still function perfectly
There are scratches and marks on most parts of the knife
The pivot has been flipped for some reason, the front is on the lock side but it makes no difference to the function
Blade has been sharpened
Smooth action and opens with a nice twack
Lockup is solid with no play in any direction and no stick
Centering favors the presentation side a hair but it doesn't come close to rubbing
If you're not looking for a showpiece, this one will serve you well
