FS: Pocket knives
I've amassed a decent collection of pocket knives/tactical folders and it's time to thin the herd a little... plus I've got my eye on a little jewel.
All knives are in good working/cutting condition but some do have problems and I will be as honest as possible in describing them through photos.
None of these will be sold to anyone under 18, or anyone who impresses me as being a meathead.
Now that that has been said, on to business:
All prices are OBO.
I am located in Edmonton but shipping or delivery can be arranged.

1) CRKT Convergence $45
Review: http://www.themartialist.com/pecom/convergence.htm
Blade: Length: 3.25” (8.3 cm)
Thickness: 0.12” (0.30 cm)
Steel: AUS 4, 55-57 HRC
Closed: Handle length: 4.5” (11.4 cm)
Open: Overall length: 7.625” (19.4 cm)
Weight: 3.7 oz. (105 g)
I bought this one because it felt great in hand at the store and I liked the blade design. Interesting take on the liner lock with a little thumb actuated switch to close. Finger flipper/toggle on the back of the blade to open.
After carrying it for a couple days I found something I liked better and it went into the display case. Time for someone else to enjoy it.
2) Timberline Workhorse SOLD
Blade: Length: 3.25" (8.3 cm)
Thickness: .110"
Steel: 440 stainless
Closed: Handle length 4.5"
Open: Overall length: 7.75"
Weight: .3 LB
Locking liner safety. Reversible pocket clip can be switched for left or right handed use. Tip-up carry style. Nice beefy knife.
3) Kershaw Ken Onion Black Vapor $40
http://www.kershawknives.com/product...and=kershawurl
Blade: Length: 3 in. (7.5 cm)
Steel: AUS6A stainless-steel
Handle: 410 stainless-steel
Closed: Handle length: 4 in. (10.3 cm)
Weight: 3.25 oz.
Pretty little knife, well made and feels great in a smaller hand or so I'm told, it's too small for me to truly be comfortable with. I got it as a gift from a well meaning friend and haven't had the heart to part with it but it's time.
4) SOG Flash-1 $50
http://sogknives.com/store/FSA-7.html
Blade: Length: 2.5"
Thickness: .09"
Steel: AUS 8, 57-58 HRC
Open: Overall Length: 5.75"
Weight: 1.3 oz
Another nice small knife, but too small for me to feel comfortable while handling. It is a cam assisted opener and as far as I can find out, legal to buy/sell/carry.
5) HK Knives Recurve $75
http://www.benchmade.com/products/14300
Blade: Length: 2.97"
Thickness: 0.146"
Steel: 440C Stainless, 58-60HRC
Closed: Handle length: 3.90"
Open: Overall Length: 6.84"
Weight: 3.50oz.
A nice knife that I paid too much for and almost immediately replaced with something cheaper and more disposable. This knife is made by Benchmade and if you are familiar with their products you should know what to expect. The new version is cheaper and I understand it is not quite as smooth. This knife has a nice light, smooth action with solid lock-up. Comes nicely packaged with a draw-string bag.
6) Spiderco Q $100
Closed: Handle length: 3-3/8"
Open: Overall length: 5-7/8"
A nice example of a collectible Spiderco. Mine is dusty and could use a good cleaning but has not seen much use. This is the standard Q and it is missing the flimsy/crappy wire pocket clip. There is also a very small chip on the tip of the blade.
7) Spiderco Classic $30
An older Spiderco, either an Endura or Delica. I can't find much information on this one and I've been too lazy to measure it accurately. It's got about a 3" serrated blade and has seen a LOT of use, and some abuse. The tip is broken but might be ground down/restored by an experienced hand. A veteran lockback for hard use.
8) Benchmade Vex $30
http://www.benchmade.com/products/10750
Easily my favorite knife of the bunch, it fits my hand perfectly, has a nice smooth action and will take a great edge. This one was damaged by a nice arc of 12 volt which burned and marked the tip. Still very usable but I have another that I carry daily.
