Just an FYI, this knife is available brand new with free shipping for $126.09 on Amazon.
Just in case you don't get interest, you may want to post a more competitive price.
Hey man, that’s your prerogative. I’m just trying to be helpful. You can avoid fake spydercos on Amazon by buying straight from Spyderco—not third party sellers.

I hate to be that guy, but you can get Squids new on Amazon for $16.57, so you may want to lower your price.
Hi friend, welcome to r/knife_swap! Just a heads up, you won't ever sell this at $50. Generally even if you have a knife brand new in the box, it'll sell for a few dollars less than retail, and a little less in B condition like your Link here. This model goes for about $40 brand new from Blade HQ and Amazon. If you're wanting a quick sale, I'd lower your price to about $30. If you're willing to let it sit for awhile you may be able to get $35 for it, but it's simply not going to sell for $10 over retail in B condition. Good luck with sale!
Not to sound like a dick, but this AD10 is selling on Amazon with free shipping for $138.

I'm not <em>trying</em> to be dick, but aren't you asking for more than it costs new on Amazon?
You could even get the Warehouse Deal for $20 less and have Amazon returns if you dont like it.
Uhh. Hey buddy, your used/sharpened Crooked River is only $20 less than you can get them for brand new on Amazon so that's going to be a hard sell I think.
Just giving you a heads up. These usually sell for $150 in B condition and $170-$180 in A BNIB condition.
I didn't do much of anything to my satin finished knives(got rid of tons of patina and some all the surface rust) I'll try a stonewashed and get back to you. This is the on I got but idk if these are all the same or if other brands are better than others.

Great recommendation, thank you! Ordered a DC4 and this guy because I'm also learning what I like and so far I've determined that I want a nice set of diamond plates for freehand and then something for field touch ups.
Oh man. I forgot to post it. It's an eafengrow titanium mini flip thingy I got off Amazon. It says its M390 but that is a DAMN lie! It is titanium though. (And super tiny)

Unfortunately they want $9 to ship it, so not super cost effective, but the description has the thread info you'd need to source it locally.
I’m a novice compared to a lot of folks on here. But, I’ve been diving in deep the past few months. I’m happy to share what I’ve learned. You say I know stuff - look at my flair - I get confused sometimes haha.
Nano oil: So, if you’re looking for nano oil, know it’s most expensive on amazon. It’s cheapest on eBay and other places. It generally shouldn’t be that expensive.
Many say the best oil is KPL. Knife pivot lube. Available on amazon for $14. It’s the best for washer based knives. Whereas, nano oil is sometimes best for bearing based knives.
My recommendation for strops will follow this post. I got my strop from someone here on reddit and it’s great. Apply compound and when it gets grey with metal clean the strop with a pink eraser.
Lastly, when it comes to sharpening: I use a sharpmaker to maintain my knives. Unless I buy a used knife that’s super dull, this is all I ever need. A knife shouldn’t get dull enough to be reprofiled, I think.
But, if I do need to reprofile, I use a lanksy system. I’ve got the standard kit but added a course and extra course diamond to help reprofile hard steels like super steels. The luxury solution (in my opinion) is a KME system. It’s too much to go into to discuss sharpening further than a device.
I’ll probably get some KPL when it runs out, but this is the oil I use right now: Hoppe's No. 9 Lubricating Oil, 14.9 ml Precision Bottle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013R67A6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_S4-kDbW2GR41P
No offense but the Leek Composite Blackwash is going for $55 new on Amazon.
and a sharpie.... lots of sharpie marks...

They are for a 4mm driver, not standard 1/4 inch, but you can get an adapter.
I’m sorry to hear that! Not particularly helpful, but I want to note that almost always when I strip a screw, it’s a sure sign I need to replace my driver. Also, for something as small as a T6, the driver manufacturer tolerances are really crucial, so I recommend wiha or wera. Since using those, I don’t think I’ve stripped a screw.
I do have some stripped screw remover tools, though I’m not sure if I’ve ever used one on such a small screw. Here’s an example of a tool like that: https://www.amazon.com/Extractor-Damaged-Remove-Stripped-Broken/dp/B09LHLVH8T/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1CMITWT8YO4SK&keywords=stripped+screw+remover&qid=1649478837&sprefix=stripped+screw+remover%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-3
Sometimes you may be required to just ruin the existing handle to get it off then get the screw out.
I’d be happy to try to get it off and the new handles on for you if you’d like to send me your knife.

It’s this one! The bits are also a lot nicer than my cheaper “wiha” set - they fit perfectly with zero slop in the lil native
Several months is quite an exaggeration, usually takes 2-3 weeks. Expensive knives in the $150 range can sometimes come in half that time because they use better shipping options.
But yeah, aliexpress has a lot of discounts fairly often (but now they photoshop out the lock bar out of fear of whatever).
I don't really believe that. you make classy posts like this, and you tried to lowball me twice on the Leatherman before you finally bit. I think you're just backtracking because you got called out on your bullshit.
Anytime I’m shipping something that’s totally irreplaceable I put an Apple air tag in the box (or if it’s a gun I try to hide it inside of the gun/magazine) so that way I can get extremely regular updates on shipping and the package’s whereabouts without relying on the shipping company.
The Skeletool is $55 here with the current coupon. That being said, I have an LNIB Spyderco PM2 in digicam/DLC that I'd be willing to trade for the Skeletool + cash.

Blade is somewhat scratched and the BM and Osborne logos are kinda worn, but the action is good. Deassisted, includes the spring though.
I don't know how much your shipping costs are, but wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy loctite on Amazon?
I had the same thing happen when I tried to use nano-oil on a microtech. Something in the oil reacted with whatever microtech uses at the factory. Just turned into a mis-firing sludge-fest. Total garbage, had me panicking a bit at first. I just dumped a bunch of Isopropyl alcohol in the knife, shook it up, dumped it out, and repeated until it was clean. It should start working better right after that. Only oil you want to use on a microtech is RemOil, Super light weight. Stuff is excellent, cheap, and it will last forever! The bottle I mean. Don't need much, it goes a long way, 3-4 drop is usually more than sufficient. I usually put a drop on each side of both sides of the blade. Fire the knife a few times and good to go. Little compressed air will help get it down in there without having to soak it. You should not need to take apart the knife very often, a flush will usually work great. I'm a "take my shit apart guy" though so I get it. 😉 Good luck sorting out the knife, looks like a sweet one!
Yes I do it’s this one I should have all of the extras that come with it. You’ll have to give me a couple hours but 20CV is my favorite so I’m interested

If whoever buys this can't get it done it by fitting it to a bit, I recently discovered the magic of these very small screw extractors which helped me get a much smaller stripped screw free from a ZT scale. I don't even have a drill press, was able to get it done with a drill and a small vise (clamps would probably work just as well). Helps that ZT is so quick to send out spare screws!

psst...Nermal tip... the ProTech Mordax is just as good if not better than the Mali and is in stock rn...
doesn't have amazing construction quality, but it's got G10 and S35VN. In hand, it almost feels like a fatter RAT II. Opens up well enough with the thumb stud.
Amazon has some for pretty cheap.
I use these if i do free hand. I checked them on my angle finder and they are right on. You just rubberband them to your block.
Do note tape your blades!!!! Do not use those without taping your blade. You will scratch your blades up if you don't! I know...🥺
If you don’t find one, this is what I bought. It is the best I have used. I made a kydex sheath for it that attaches to my Aqua Salt sheath.

Usually you want to post more than one picture so people can see the condition. Also they are new on amazon for $98.99 so you might want to drop your price a little. GLWS
Here's one of the $40 from amazon. Note the file work on the spine, the similar sheath, all introduced as hand made damascus, similar quality handle materials, etc.
I might be interested in it, however, one can get a new one on Amazon for $37. I am not interested in the Snap On add on though. Could you be competitive with Amazon? I understand if you want to sell the bundle.
Does the one you have contain the same tools as that listing? The knife looks different.
Hahahaha. I'm sorry. For anyone is interested, here is the amazon link. They're $6 more than on Ebay, but have Prime next day delivery (at least in my area) so I didn't have to wait 3 weeks from Ebay.
Just a heads up friend. These are 34 bucks on Amazon right now if you decide to drop the price I may be interested :)
Did you buy it from a dealer? If not, it is used. And A is A, there isn't anything better unless you are making some sort of claim about it being better than new and unused, which you aren't even sure of. If you don't know its history, you cannot make specific claims about it and you normally cannot tell the difference between a B and A graded blade just by looking.
Also, it doesn't normally come in bubble wrap.
And you can buy a new one for about $180 from Amazon, and I never saw a dealer list it at $200.

I think for knives without pricing reference points, 90-80% of retail for A condition is fair. 80-70% for B, 70-60% for C.
And I have seen Opuses at 115 with no tax from dealers before. I am not trying to be rude, but you would have a much better chance of selling if you drastically lowered your price. Maybe it isn't worth selling then for you though.

I totally get what ya mean, man. It's a slippery slope for sure lol. I'll definitely keep an eye out for your upcoming anodizing projects! If you look around, you can pretty easily find some thin guaged sheets of titanium that you could cut up into sections and try out different stuff that way. Or if you prefer to practice on a knife, the CRKT Jettison is a good one to check out!
Whats the difference between this and this one ?

You'll want a DC 0-120v variable power supply. There are some 1 amp models on Amazon that go for about ~~$120~~ $150. They will get you the entire range of colors.
Color is dependent on a few variables. But the biggest is voltage. Green is considered the hardest to get since it's at the 95-98v range.
The 1amp variant is a great intro to it but can struggle depending how much titanium surface area you are trying to anodize.
Edit: this is the one I started with and used for almost 2 years
