My thoughts:
This is a great little knife, perfect for office or daily carry as it does not look even remotely scary, but is probably the most usable little knife I own. My only issue is that I've never been overly fond of stainless handles, and I have another one with a plastic handle, so I would like to make this one available for someone else. It's got a great feel in the hand, and is one of the quickest/easiest knives to open/close one-handed, due to the liner-lock.

Condition:
Very rarely carried, the usually scratches from being folded up in a pocket, may very well need to be sharpened/touched-up. Looks like these are going for $47-70 shipped on everyone's favorite auction site.

$42 shipped in the US, PayPal accepted (add $2 for CREDIT card transactions), international PM for shipping fee, insurance/priority/tracking available at your cost.

Also open to trade for small/dense brushes, possibly milled soaps.

Feel free to shoot me a PM with any questions. Thanks.

Which do you carry, Wayne? My knife of choice is my partially serrated plastic handled Delica. I've owned and used a couple of Kershaws and will admit that they're a nice knife. I just think there's a nicer quality build in Spyderco knives. Plus, I love their unique designs (which are amazingly comfortable and usually fit the hand like a glove).

Hey Dom!! Great to hear from ya!! Right now I carry a Spyderco Flat Byrd.. it fits in my jeans pocket while riding the bike back and forth to work w/o causing discomfort.. Great little knife!

Spyderco knives are great. I have a hot pink ladybug(easy to spot and less likely to grow legs and walk away) on my keychain for opening mail and packages full of shaving paraphernalia. And a Salsa in the pocket for larger cutting duties.

VG10 is perhaps the BEST choice for a pocketknife steel. Resists corrosion better than any of the other good steels, and holds an edge really well.. but itsn't so hard to sharpen... especially nice considering its a serrated edge blade.

$42 for a pocketknife with this kind of blade is a steal.

I'd have bought it if I hadn't just bought this:

and if I had seen this before I did, I'd have gone with this one...
