Title: [WTB] good, used pocketknives Post by: MoonShadow on November 02, 2012, 11:38:01 PM I'm looking for some pocketknives to give to my older kids this Xmas. When I was a kid, my father would get used pocket knives for myself and my siblings because kids lose them often. If you have a pocketknife that you no longer use, I'm interested in buying it. Expecially if you have a pre-import-ban balisong or other one handed pre-import-ban pocketknife, but I'm interested in those for myself. (I have a state license for carrying concealed deadly weapons, and that includes knives, so unlike some who live in The Peoples' Republic of California or NY I'm not risking jail time for owning these types of knives.)

But for argument's sake, what would you want for it?

Were's the valve for the kitchen sink? That thing has got to be huge, although My son would just love to have a Swiss army knife with more gagets on it than my leatherman tool.

Title: Re: [WTB] good, used pocketknives Post by: likuidxd on November 03, 2012, 01:20:30 AM I'd want at least 50% of its retail value in current condition. I can check what's available with my tool vendor, he has a bunch of neat little knives for cheap.

How much for the super Swiss army knife?

I wouldn't even know how to do that. I'm also not sure that I could do it anyway, considering I'd be buying stolen property.

Did you think that there was a difference? Title: Re: [WTB] good, used pocketknives Post by: John (John K.) on November 05, 2012, 03:24:19 PM Take a look at Spydercos or Benchmade if you want your kids to treasure them for a lifetime. A Swiss Army Knife like the Climber or Spartan would be good as a 'beginner' knife too.
PS: I'm EDC-ing a Climber since a young age. A Spyderco ParaMilitary 2 comes with me where the law permits too. (especially for hiking trips etc.) Title: Re: [WTB] good, used pocketknives Post by: Aahzman on November 05, 2012, 06:40:06 PM I've got one of these I can part with for something reasonable: Kershaw Crown 3160 (http://kershaw.kaiusaltd.com/knives/knife/crown) - wood grain micarta (now they are smoother) http://images.knifecenter.com/t humb/1500x1500/knifecenter/kershaw/images/KS3160anw.jpg That's another one that a bit high-end for a child.

Were's the valve for the kitchen sink? That thing has got to be huge, although My son would just love to have a Swiss army knife with more gagets on it than my leatherman tool. I have the Swiss Army Cybertool 41, and lemme tell you, it is the best $130 I spent on ANYTHING, EVER. I use it multiple times per day, every day. I also have the Victorinox SwissTool (basic $115 model) that has seen some rough and tough service and still looks and feels like a million bucks. Great quality and craftsmanship. This reminds me, i need to order some replacement screwdriver bits for my Cybertool...lost my Torx10 bit. the biggest one they seem to sell now is the 34, but still a great tool. If someone's offering up a CyberTool or SwissChamp for a reasonable price, grab it! Amazing quality. |
