Sure thing man…Imo- it’s the best place to sell a knife and quickly!!! I sold 7 in less than an hour once… you have to keep your prices in check or you’ll be called out for it or worse yet you’ll get no responses…$25 - $2500 knives…you name it and you’ll eventually find it…👊✌️

Not sure it's a keeper, since it seems to have as much bad as good, but I've wanted one for a few years now and now I have one so it's in my pocket.

You're not wrong, and I really want to like it but it has a couple serious issues, the biggest being caused by having such a small gap between the lockbar and the rest of the frame:

Image

And since there's not a Hinderer style stabilizer, it causes the rest of the frame to act as the stabilizer, which isn't the end of the world but it does cause the two to rub against each other when unlocking:

Image

Edit: I was able to tune the rubbing completely out, and the lockbar flex about 90% out. It'll still flex a miniscule amount, but it no longer makes contact with the rest of the frame.

Wow-never noticed that…handled one at a local knife shop recently…the Proxy usually gets a bad rap because of the supposedly wasted space between the sharpening choil and plunge line where the flat section is…personally I like that…plus it makes a loud click when deploying 👊

Funny to look back at how our preferences change. I like looking through all my photos sometimes and watching the evolution.

Yessir. I was always in search of the “perfect pocket knife” and didn’t realize my preference for a regular, good ol FRN Spyderco back lock. But I can say I put my money where my mouth is!

For my first post in this thread, here's a picture of my first "step up" folder, a Large Regular Sebenza bought in 2006.

Great carry. I love the pre-Idaho Sebenzas.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.
