🟠 TRADED Spyderco Manix 2 XL (sv 135 155 175)
Multiple owners. Cut and carried. SPY27 steel + cobalt blue G10. Cut and carried. A wicked edge has been put on this by a buddy of mine who does some amazing sharpening. Good lockup, action, and centering. Small bit of wear on the pileside scale. Comes with box + dox.

🟠 TRADED Cold Steel Voyager XL Tanto (sv 45 55 65)
First owner. Cut and carried. AUS10A steel tanto blade. Action and lockup good. Centering favors pileside a minimal amount. Wear on clip. The box on this one apparently grew legs, so no box/dox/left-handed clip.

[WTS] Benchmade M4 Griptilian Sheepsfoot, Spyderco Manix 2 XL, Spyderco Serrated Military 2, Cold Steel Voyager XL Tanto

Wassup, Swap!
Timestamp

🔴 SOLD Spyderco Military 2 - Fully-Serrated SpyderEdge + Free WiseMen Fang (sv 135)
Multiple owners. S30V steel + black G10. Cut and carried. Has been disassembled to swap out some hardware with bronze-colored body screws + stop pin (I believe the hardware was from Flytanium, it's been so long I can't remember). Good action and lockup. Some minimal wear on scales consistent with carry and use. Centering looks to favor showside the most minimal amount. Including a free WiseMen Fang (functions similar to the Emerson Wave feature) with this one. Comes with box + dox.

🟢 Spyderco Manix 2 XL (sv 175)
Multiple owners. Cut and carried. SPY27 steel + cobalt blue G10. Cut and carried. A wicked edge has been put on this by a buddy of mine who does some amazing sharpening. Good lockup, action, and centering. Small bit of wear on the pileside scale. Comes with box + dox.

🔴 SOLD Benchmade M4 Griptilian Spydiehole Sheepsfoot (sv 150)
Multiple owners. Cut and carried. M4 steel sheepsfoot blade coated in a grey finish with a licensed Spydiehole. To my understanding, this particular blade is relatively rare now; I believe it either came from an exclusive, or was a limited-time option in Benchmade's custom shop. I'm not 100% certain as I'm not very familiar with Benchmades, and I wasn't able to find any to compare it to. Blade could probably use a sharpen, and has a small chip near the tip and the tip itself could use a touchup. The scales currently on it are blue Metonboss scales with a Damascus-style etching, and it also comes with some standard black Griptilian scales. Action and lockup good, centering favors pileside a minute amount. No box/dox.

🟢 Cold Steel Voyager XL Tanto (sv 65)
First owner. Cut and carried. AUS10A steel tanto blade. Action and lockup good. Centering favors pileside a minimal amount. Wear on clip. The box on this one apparently grew legs, so no box/dox/left-handed clip.

[WTS] TriiAxis Midnight #004

Whaddup, Thugs!
Timestamp

🟢 TriiAxis Midnight Serial Number #004 (sv 700 / tv 800)

>Bit of a rare bird here that I hate to get rid of, but as always, I'm on the hunt for more stuff. Multiple owners (including a YouTuber or two!), cut and carried. Some wear on the pocket clip as shown in the vid above (looks to be mostly ano wear rather than snails). 20CV 16 DPS blade with a blasted/tumble finish, machined diamond milled Ti scales, frost blue post-tumbled hardware and backspacer. Birthdate of 02/24/22. Comes with original box, COA, and bitdriver. These things are sweet as heck and have Grimsmo-level action (which is incredible, given this thing only weighs 3oz. on the dot!). Very comfortable ergonomics. Thin, slicy blade still on its factory edge, and fantastic acoustics. To my knowledge, there were less than 150 of these ever made and this one is in the single digits.

I'd love to keep her, but alas... My soul hungers for more knives, LOL.

Possibly open to trades on this one, so shoot me what'cha got! As always, drop a comment first please.

[WTS] Spyderco Amalgam & Buck-Strider Tarani

Wassup, Swap!
Timestamp

Still got some bills to pay, so these two gotta go. Hopefully today!

———

🟢 Buck-Strider Tarani (sv 175)
Multiple owners. I believe cut & carry, some minor signs of wear on the G10 as pointed out in the video. This is the G10 version with ATS-34 steel heat-treated by Paul Bos, a combo edge, and Steve Tarani's "Positive Deployment Texturing." It's a really cool piece of Strider history, Buck history, and tactical knife history in general. No flaws in the action, sounds great when opening, looks to be perfect centering. I believe this is model 882 or BU882SBTG. Sadly no box with this one.

🔴 SOLD Spyderco Amalgam (sv 135150175)
Multiple owners. Cut & carry. No box/dox. Carbon fiber laminate scales, S30V blade, Taichung Taiwan construction. This might honestly be the most underrated Spyderco there is. Fun action, very slicey blade—whoever sharpened this did a fantastic job; not sure if it's the factory edge or sharpened by a previous owner 'cos I know very little about these, but this one is really sharp and cuts well. If Spyderco makes a "jack-of-all-trades" knife, this is really it; feels comfortable as a work knife, a Gentleman's carry, a general EDC, and feels built in a way that it can do virtually any task well. Also surprisingly light for its size! Pocket-clip is currently tip-down as that's the way I received it and I just carried it in my back pocket so never felt the need to change it. I'd describe this knife as a marriage between the PM2 or the Military, and the Hinderer Eklipse for anyone who hasn't had one before. There is a small spot on the blade and on the scales I pointed out in the video, and some minor signs of use on the blade. I believe the spot on the blade is probably able to be wiped off, but the spot on the scales looks like a ding from dropping it.

[WTS] Grimsmo Norseman, Spyderco Amalgam, RGT CRK Clip, Toor Alpha

Wassup, Swap!
Timestamp

Bills to pay, and knives to sell! A tale as old as time~

———

🟢 Grimsmo Norseman #3818 | "Goldie" (sv 700)
Multiple owners. Cut & carry. Comes with box, dox, oil and tool. Factory edge. The incredible action you would expect from a Norseman, and just an amazing all-around knife. I love this knife so much and hate to let her go, I've just had to start selling to make other purchases and pay some bills. Gold contoured Crosshatch pattern scales, purple hardware, stonewashed blade. Has been disassembled to clean her once or twice in the past, and action is perfect right now.

🟢 Spyderco Amalgam (sv 175)

🔴 SOLD RGT CRK Clip - Black Cerakote (sv 45)
Multiple owners. Has been mounted. I believe this is the Black Armor color? Would also be willing to trade this for an NGMco. CRK clip. Looks to be in great condition.

🔴 SOLD Toor Alpha XT-1 (sv 110)
Multiple owners. I assume cut & carry, but none by me. I assume factory edge but I've not cut anything with it to know one way or the other. Signs of wear on the pocket clip and a good bit of snails on the scales. I originally got this to test a few mods on I was gonna do on my CRKs, but decided to just go ahead and mod the CRKs without testing them, lol. Comes with a really nice padded box, honestly about as nice as the boxes that come with Grimsmos—as well as a cloth and dox. If you're looking for a smaller, hard-use Ti framelock made in the US with a really interesting blade finish, this'll get you there! Makes a really dope sound on deployment.

[WTS] KSF Exclusive CRK Red Linen Sebenza

EDIT: She's sold! Thanks, folk!

Wassup, Swap!
Timestamp

My brother just graduated, so I'm hoping to treat him tonight to a night out in celebration! As such, one knife has gotta go to fuel our expedition.

🔴 SOLD Chris Reeve Red Linen Micarta Inlay Sebenza 31 Large (sv 475)
Multiple owners. Excellent condition. I'm not sure if it was cut or carried by previous owners, but I assume lightly if any at all. Only carried once by me, no cut by me. I believe it has been sharpened, and if it was, whoever sharpened it did an excellent job. The grind lines are very clean, and it feels wickedly sharp to the finger and across my nail. Action is great as you would expect for a Sebenza, and the the whole knife is in great condition with no nicks, scratches, or snails. Micarta is also in perfect condition as far as I can see. The only thing of note is that in certain lighting, the pocket clip looks slightly darker than the rest of the scale, but I think that might just be an optical illlusion 'cos if you apply direct light to it the pocket clip is the exact same shade as the scale. Glassblasted Titanium, red linen micarta inlays, Magnacut drop point blade, silver hardware and thumbstud. This thing is classy AF, and that's the sole reason I'm getting rid of it—I would feel horrible if I put any wear on this beautiful knife, LOL. Comes with box, dox, COA, and a leather CRK clip; the only thing not included is the Allen keys for the pivot, but the Allen key for the small screws is included.

[WTS] McNees Dixon Stonewash Diamond Milled Ti

Wassup, Swap!
Timestamp

Y'all know the spiel, bills to pay, no other knife to sell, lol. So sadly this one's already gotta go.

🟢 McNees Dixon Diamond Milled (sv 550 obro)
3.75" satin stonewash finish Magnacut blade (catches light in a really neat way, especially on the hollow grind), dope diamond milling texture pattern on the scales. Multiple owners, cut and carried. Not sure about sharpening, but it's sharp! Great centering, great sound, action unironically rivaling (and perhaps even slightly smoother than on the close) a Grimsmo Norseman. The previous owner got the pocket clip snagged on something and it got slightly bent, but he bent it back and the retention is good as new. No problems going in or out of the pocket. Comes with box + dox. Model no. SIMS1T2459

Appreciate y'all for looking, and hope y'all are having a great weekend!

Got a fair bit of knives for sale today, hoping to sell 'em all today and get 'em shipped out so feel free to make me an offer. I'll offer discounts for knives bundled together.

🔴 SOLD Medford Praetorian Scout (sv 165)
Multiple owners. Cut and carried. Good action. Coated D2 blade, G10 scales, and Titanium liner lock. Looks to be factory edge. Does not come with box and dox, thus the price, but will ship in a zip-up taco pouch.

🔴 SOLD Medford 187DP (sv 220)
Multiple owners. Awesome Vulcanized finish blade. Cut and carried. Please be forewarned, this knife comes with quite a considerable amount of lockstick if you flick it open hard. If you slow-roll it or go gentle on it, it's not an issue. But if you really throw it out there, it takes quite a lot of effort to disengage the lock. When it originally came to me this way, I threw some graphite on the tang and it went away for quite a long time. The lockstick has recently come back however, and this time I've put some Sharpie on the tang which helps out a fair bit, but is not as good as the graphite was. Now, when the lockstick isn't involved, this knife actually has awesome action and is very glassy/hydraulic. If the lockstick persists or gets worse, you can always send it into Medford to get fixed. Comes with the original paperwork and Greg's card—but no box/pouch; this one is from 2015 so it's in great shape for its age despite the 'stick. Looks to be factory edge.

🔴 SOLD Southern Grind Spider Monkey (sv 110)
Multiple owners. Cut and carried. S35VN steel and contoured, milled carbon fiber scales. Good action. No issues to report whatsoever. I'm not certain, but I believe this one may have been sharpened. No box/dox.

🔴 SOLD Bradford Guardian 4 + Leather & Kydex Sheathes (sv 115)
Multiple owners. N690 steel on this one. Cut and carried. Comes with what I believe is an Armatus Carry Solutions kydex sheath with scout/horizontal carry snap straps, and I'm throwing in a pocket-carry clip as well. Also comes with a nice leather sheath. There is some faint lines on the blade from where it rubbed against the kydex when being unsheathed, but nothing that affects performance. Some minor wear on the leather sheath. No box/dox.

🔴 SOLD Böker Balisong 06EX228 (sv 35)
Multiple owners. Just got this one in a few days ago. D2 steel with G10 overlays. Cut and carried, sharpened by previous owner (Knife Thoughts), who might I add did an awesome job sharpening this one 'cos it is scary sharp, lol. I don't really know anything about Balisongs, but this one seems good for the price. I believe Böker claims these were made in the US, and they're now discontinued. Comes with a nice box, dox, and a really nice zipper pouch.

🔴 SOLD Demko AD20.5 Blade + Parts (sv 35)
Multiple owners. D2 user blade, one set of red FRN scales, one set of green G10 scales, a red backspacer, 2 large springs and one small spring, a set of Skiff bearings, one (1) singular liner, and multiple pocket clips. Comes with box, dox, and Demko zipper pouch. I assume cut and carried, and the blade looks to have been sharpened with a very small bit of freckling near the thumbstud (which might honestly just be some dirt, LOL).
