Life is Good 😊

I missed the early “gimme” bird. However, I was able to shake off the rust and get on the board. The woods couldn’t be prettier and partridge is on the menu. Pretty happy for a fat dude without a dog!

I am looking to move some of my collection. Anything purchased this morning will most likely be shipped by noon today. Thanks for taking a peek!

Kunwu Padre - SV 250

https://imgur.com/a/DXf66B3

Blade: Vanax - Drop Point - Polished DLC
Handle: Milled Titanium
Owner: First
Cut: Yes - twine and packages
Carried: Yes
Disassembled: No
Sharpened: Yes - strop
Wear/Tear: wear on pocket clip
Centering: perfect
Original Box/Pouch: Yes

I bought this directly from Kunwu. It is a very well made knife. After feeling the build quality, I bought all three versions of the Padre (yes, I have a problem). This is the version that stayed in the collection the longest. The action is soooo smooth. Unfortunately, my knife journey has tought me that I’m very picky about finger choils (they mostly just aren’t my jam). It’s been carried a handful of times and has some wear on the pocket clip. I have included an image showing the marks. Everything else about the knife is spotless. The DLC is beautiful and the diamond textured Ti offers great grip.

Vero Myelin - SV $290

https://imgur.com/a/66xm7p9

Blade: Fixed - M390 - Drop Point - Belt Satin
Handle: Titanium
Owner: First
Cut: No
Carried: once or twice
Disassembled: No
Sharpened: No
Wear/Tear: None
Original Box/Pouch: Yes

I bought this because I was intrigued by titanium handles on a fixie. It is a sweet knife and has one of the better kydex sheaths I have ever used. It just never makes its way into my pocket. The belt satin is flawlessly done and brought down to a very fine edge. This is another blade that I’m quite fond of. It just deserves to get carried more.

BP Customs Champion - SV $290

https://imgur.com/a/RptDfm3

Blade: Fixed - M390 - Sheepsfoot - stonewash
Handle: plum micarta
Owner: First
Cut: Yes
Carried: Yes
Disassembled: No
Sharpened: no
Wear/Tear: None
Original Box/Pouch: comes with COA

Brandon makes some of the best edc fixies out there. He does everything in house and drops 10-12 knives a week. They usually sell out in minutes. This is a sweet little blade that is razor sharp. It has only been used to open a few bags and cut some twine. The plum micarta is looks great and the shape of the handle locks hand in. This knife comes with a Taylored by Cortes leather sheath. Only reason I’m selling this is because I bought another knife from Brandon with plum micarta 😅~~~~.

Benchmade Saddle Mountain Skinner - SV $190

https://imgur.com/a/gudJZVk

Blade: Fixed - S90V - Drop Point - Stonewash
Handle: Richlite & G10
Owner: First
Cut: Yes
Carried: Yes
Disassembled: No
Sharpened: No
Wear/Tear: Not that I can tell
Original Box/Pouch: Yes

This is hands down the sharpest knife I ever received from Benchmade. It has field dressed multiple deer for me and still pops hair off your arm. The S90V has performed very well. The richlite handles resemble wood grain and are done very well. The multiple jimping locations on the spine are placed perfectly for different grips. This was the only Benchmade that I am on the fence of keeping in my collection, to be honest. Comes with box and bolteron sheath.

MKC Sharptailed - SV $150

https://imgur.com/a/YEetTxA

Blade: Fixed - Magnacut - drop/trailing point - stonewash
Handle: G10
Owner: First
Cut: Yes
Carried: Yes
Disassembled: No
Sharpened: No
Wear/Tear: None that I can tell
Original Box/Pouch: Yes

This has been carried with me on a couple of pheasant and grouse hunting trips. It is great for helping clean birds, but really excels at filleting the breasts from the rib cage. I imagine it making a good small fish cleaner as well. It is a great little bird and trout knife. The reason I am “catch and releasing” it is because I recently picked up a CRK Inyoni that I think I prefer. Comes with kydex sheath and clip.

MKC Jackstone (Kifaru Edition) w/ leather & kydex sheaths - SV $250

https://imgur.com/a/zwkzRDi

Blade: Fixed - Magnacut - drop point - stonewash
Handle: G10
Owner: First
Cut: Yes
Carried: Yes
Disassembled: No
Sharpened: No
Wear/Tear: None that I can tell
Original Box/Pouch: Yes

This knife has been used on one hunting trip and the leather sheath has never been carried. It was designed with Aron Snyder who was CEO of Kifaru at the time. He is a big time bow hunter who wanted a modern take on the Canadian belt knife. This is an extremely comfy knife and it comes with two sheaths. Kydex has an ulticlip.

Vosteed Mink - SV $60

https://imgur.com/a/m8OPPHt

Blade: Fixed - 14C28N - Drop Point - copper dune coated
Handle: Milled micarta
Owner: First
Cut: No
Carried: No
Disassembled: No
Sharpened: No
Wear/Tear: None
Original Box/Pouch: Yes

This is a great EDC fixie. Great ergos, grippy micarta, and jimping in all the right places. The color combo is very appealing as well. I have never carried or used this knife. Just added a small lanyard.

(WTS) Null, Spyderco, Benchmade, ProTech, BP Customs, Vero, Kunwu, Asher, Vosteed, MKC

Fellow Swappers,
It is time, once again, to purge my knife collection. Many of these knives are just too nice not to be carried. The rotation that I gravitate to has been leaving these tools without pocket time. I’d like to send them to their next home! Per swap etiquette, “yolo” prevails. I will do my best to ship any knife within 24 hours of receiving payment. Not interested in trades at the moment. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking!

Null Voodoo - Gold Camo CF - SV $385

https://imgur.com/a/sc7McOW

Blade: M390 - Hollow Ground - Wharnie w/ clip point & harpoon
Handle: Gold Camo Carbon Fiber & Black PVD Titanium
Owner: First
Cut: No
Carried: No
Disassembled: No
Sharpened: No
Wear/Tear: None
Centering: perfect
Original Box/Pouch: Yes

This knife is immaculate. I bought it directly from Null at the drop. The action on this thing is butter-smooth. I really like the bolster lock on this knife. Not to mention, the triangular thumb studs - I could see more companies doing this in the future. Aesthetically and functionality-wise these features kick ass. This thing is razor sharp and comfy in hand. It’s another really neat knife that just never finds its way into my pocket.

Benchmade Narrows 748BK-01 - SV $390

https://imgur.com/a/Wo2zTvU

Blade: M390 - Drop Point - Black DLC
Handle: Titanium - Black DLC
Owner: First
Cut: No
Carried: Yes - sparingly
Disassembled: only replaced clip
Sharpened: No
Wear/Tear: None
Centering: perfect
Original Box/Pouch: Yes (and OG clip)

This knife was controversial. Despite the criticisms, it IS a very light knife. Some might say…. “Featherweight”! Which is why I think the LynchNW feather clip is perfect. The Narrows was a knife I thought I’d hang onto forever, it’s perfect for light summer clothes. However, I fell out of love with crossbar locks. Pretty sure this knife made it into some athletic shorts once or twice. It is a sleek looking knife. This knife is drop shut.

Spyderco Spydiechef (anodized) - SV $285

https://imgur.com/a/jEyZYdI

Blade: LC200 - Sheepsfoot - Satin
Handle: Anodized Titanium
Owner: First
Cut: No
Carried: once or twice
Disassembled: No - replaced clip
Sharpened: No
Wear/Tear: None
Centering: perfect
Original Box/Pouch: Yes

This knife was purchased from the company who anodized it, BladesWeLove. It is one of my personal favorites. I replaced the wire clip with an anodized LynchNW clip that matches the colors fairly well. This is the ultimate corrosion resistant knife. LC200 resists rust on a Vanax level. It is a great light weight EDC and I love the blade shape. Taiwan Spydercos tend to be my favorites. This one has a very smooth washer action (which I prefer).

Kunwu Padre - SV $270

Wear/Tear: slight patina
Centering: perfect
Original Box/Pouch: Yes

This has been my cardboard warrior. It has broken down boxes for a year or so. I have stropped it back a few times. I bought it because I had heard so many nice things about K390. It is a fantastic steel. This thing is a workhorse.

Original Box/Pouch: Yes

I know this company has been controversial. To be honest, I don’t like some of their decisions and have critiqued them as well. However, there is some good with the bad. The Mirror finish on the blade is pretty neat and I don’t see many companies doing it. This knife has also field dressed and helped process 3-4 deer. This is where any marks on the blade originate from - nicking and bumping bones. It takes an edge easily and keeps on kicking. No complaints on the functionality side of things. I have dealt with their customer service, and they are very responsive and ready to fix any issue. To be honest, I replaced this knife with the same model featuring desert ironwood scales. Comes with a Kydex sheath sporting a belt clip.

Helluva Mail Call

Mailman couldn’t come fast enough today. Been eyeing up a BP customs full-size FUK for quite a while. He has since switched to making the FUK full-size slim version mostly. I jumped on one of his latest releases with 65 HRC Magnamax and plumb micarta. It also came with a badger claw leather pocket sheath. In addition to the new knife, I was able to land an NGMCo Japanese Cowboy from his last drop. He sold out almost 250 of these clipped and non-clipped versions in 3-4 minutes. Really like that he incorporated a 10mm socket and a flathead screwdriver in the design. Off to the swap to sell some knives to pay for these… 😅

This knife was controversial. Despite the criticisms, it IS a very light knife. Some might say…. “Featherweight”! Which is why I think the LynchNW feather clip is perfect. The Narrows was a knife I thought I’d hang onto forever, it’s perfect for light summer clothes. However, I fell out of love with crossbar locks. Pretty sure this knife made it into some athletic shorts once or twice. It is a sleek looking knife. The only complaint I have is the detent is fairly weak 🤷‍♂️

Disassembled: No
Sharpened: No
Wear/Tear: clean
Centering: perfect
Original Box/Pouch: box

I picked this up from the preorder on the latest (possibly last, if I remember correctly) preorder/run. This thing is laser sharp with a high hollow grind. The micromilled titanium is some of the coolest I have seen. It is also possibly the smoothest knife I have ever handled. This thing floats on its bearings. The reason I want to part with it is that I don’t like the finger choil area. I’m just picky. Knife with a very high “cool” factor.

Benchmade Mini Adamas 273-03 - SV $290

Centering: perfect
Original Box/Pouch: Yes

I’ve seen this knife referred to as the “secret gold class” and I latched onto that phrase. In my opinion, it’s the only Benchmade of recent memory that is actually priced fairly. Unfortunately, I found it too nice to carry. I’m pretty sure I only carried it to a family Easter get-together. Then I fell out of love with crossbar locks. Now it NEVER finds a way into my pocket. It may be the sharpest knife I have ever received straight from Benchmade’s factory - hair popping sharp.

Unfortunately, my knife journey has thought me that I’m very picky about forward finger choils🤷‍♂️. It’s been carried a handful of times and has some wear on the pocket clip. I have included an image showing the marks. Everything else about the knife is spotless.

Original Box/Pouch: Yes (and OG clip)

This is knife is handsome. I love the milled titanium pattern paired with the LynchNW feather clip. The black matches the hardware and I think the feather compliments the “airy/cloudy” milling pattern. The knife is razor sharp. I am the original owner. The knife has been carried a few times. It has never cut anything. It has never been sharpened and still has a factory edge. The pocket clip is like new. It hurts to let this one go, it may be my favorite crossbar lock knife. The action on this is SMOOTH. Comes with original clip, pouch, and box.

Due to the carry, the aluminum has some dings (will do my best to show in pics/vids). The black on the aluminum shows the most wear. Please be aware of your local knife laws as this is an auto.

Blade: Fixed - 14C28N - compound grind
Handle: milled micarta
Owner: First
Cut: yes
Carried: yes - to work for a week
Disassembled: No
Sharpened: No
Wear/Tear: a mark or two from use
Original Box/Pouch: box and pouch

This is supposedly never being made again. It is a very cool little pocket fixie. I’m just not a huge Tanto guy. I used it to cut a few ropes and twine. The handle is very grippy. The aggressive styling and jimping really make this thing look badass. Comes with a kydex sheath.

Kizer Hare - SV $45

Blade: Fixed - Nitro V - flat grind
Handle: milled micarta
Owner: First
Cut: yes
Carried: yes
Disassembled: No
Sharpened: No
Wear/Tear: marks from use
Original Box/Pouch: box

This is a stout fixie. It is one of the first “pocket fixies” that I ever bought. I used it at work for a while. It shows some wear from this use. It is very ergonomic, but it’s just a bit bigger than I prefer. Very good offering from Kizer. Comes with a kydex sheath that has a pocket clip attached.

Payments using PayPal F&F preferred. International orders please inquire. Please know your local knife laws. I will try to get any knife shipped within one business day of receiving payment (when possible). I will provide tracking as soon as it is shipped.

Friday Work Carry

On a wet and nasty Friday full of problems, I trust none other than my CRK Inkosi. Hope everyone survives to the weekend ✌️

Today’s Work Carry

I’ve never been much of a lanyard guy. I recently started carrying pry bars and like a lanyard on a pry. I decided to throw one on my BP Custom Knives Wasp as well and I kinda dig it. It is accompanied by my new NGMCo Side Piece.

Today’s work carry!

My large CRK Inkosi and Tactile Redhawk are the sharp edges at work today. I started carrying a pry bar this week because I almost broke a nail last week 😅 (couldn’t pull the solenoid from a valve…)

Guest appearance… my crop of Firewitch Dianthus.

New NGMCo day!

I picked up a Minion v2 from Archie’s last drop at Nice Guy Machine Company. The thoughtful design and precise execution is just…. Muah 🤌. Not cheap, but also not regretting it! Very cool little “key hanger-bottle opener-pry bar-scraper”.

Work Day Carry

My BP Custom Knives Wasp and my trusty Felco #2. Brandon did a great job grinding this baby slicey and the red Micarta looks great. Felcos are just the gold standard in shears (in my book). Great tools make for more enjoyable days at work 👍

Like The Dude’s rug, it really ties the room together 🤷‍♂️

I was lucky to harvest a nice deer in Minnesota this year. I just hung the skull using some cheap euro mount hanger from Amazon. I’m very pleased with how much it ties the room together… the dude abides.

Saturday Night Hockey Therapy

Hanging with a buddy watching some playoff hockey. Have the North Edge Nomad with me today. Love that Yellow Cedar burl 🥰

Let’s Go Wild!!!

My sharp-edged companion for the day. The North Edge Nomad is a great pocket fixie. Dustin made a great leather sheath as well. Love how he wet fits the knife to the sheath. That yellow cedar burl is just mesmerizing. Very well done!

Oh, and let’s hear it for the Minnesota Wild!

This is my first buck harvested in the state I currently live in. It’s not the biggest deer, but it was perfect for trying my hand at doing my own euro mount. I simmered for a long time, scraped a ton, emptied the brain cavity. This is a tedious process. It definitely made me appreciate the effort that goes into having it done professionally. Honestly, the time investment along with cost of propane really pushes me towards paying to have it done. Call me lazy, but $75 for a perfect product seems like a steal after investing two afternoons into a subpar product 😅

Edit: “subpar” meaning I broke nasal/sinus structures amongst other thin areas. I also had to glue the nose back together along with a few teeth into sockets.
