I'm trimming my collection again, so I have a bunch of knives for sale -- all priced to move. More pics follow the descriptions. 
Unless otherwise noted in the descriptions: All of these knives have been carried (typically quite little) and either barely or lightly used, but please assume there will be minor signs of use and carry. All have solid lockup and smooth action. I haven't sharpened any of them; in cases where I'm the second owner, those also look like factory edges to me. All include the original box unless otherwise noted.
Everything is listed in the same order as the photos, but broken into smaller groups for lockup/centering shots. Pics taken indoors in natural light.
Benchmade Crooked River G10 - SOLD (was $130) - S30V, discontinued grey G10 version, big classy folding hunter. Perfect action, flies open and drops shut. The orange backspacer shows signs of carry. One of the nicest Benchmades I've ever owned. $180-$208 new, depending on when you bought one.
Nemesis MPR-2 - SOLD (was $35) - G10/CF handle, VG-10 steel. Old-school Al Mar design (MPR = Mar Private Reserve) updated with a flipper, tanto grind, and pocket clip. Never carried or used, looks new. No box, second owner. $99 new.
Emerson Bulldog - SOLD (was $125) - A compact, fully chisel-ground brute. Light signs of wear on the clip, pivot screw, and G10. Second owner. I've disassembled it for cleaning/lube. No box, but I will include a CIVIVI pouch. $177 new.
Zero Tolerance 0450 - SOLD (was $130) - Full titanium version. Impeccable flipper with crisp action, darned near drops shut. Stellar blade:handle ratio and Sinkevich aesthetics. The only sign I can find that this isn't new is the spot of Sharpie I put on the lockbar insert (it had lock stick when new; all gone now). Beat-up box. $188 new.
Cold Steel Rajah III - SOLD (was $40) - AUS10 steel. Sanded smooth under the pocket clip; clip has scratches on the end. Nice slice-y grind and an underrated Cold Steel. Smooth, wonderfully broken-in Tri-Ad lock. $65 new.
Cold Steel XL Voyager - SOLD (was $30) - AUS10 steel tanto blade. Lightly sanded under the pocket clip. Carried but unused. NO original thumbstud; instead, it has the hexagonal stud from a SnaggleToothMF; priced accordingly. $60 new.
Cold Steel Large Espada - SOLD (was $95) - Just about the largest knife you can actually fit in a jeans pocket! AUS10 steel, G10 handles (nice texture, not pocket-shredding). Light signs of carry on the G10, still not quite broken-in. Disassembling for cleaning/lube, but never cut with it. $135 new.
Fanatic Edge Origin - SOLD (was $120) - Long since discontinued, don't see these very often. Made by WE, sterile stonewashed M390 blade, dark bronze stonewashed Ti/Ti handle. Nearly drops shut; blasts open with flipper, thumb flick, and Spydie flick; slow rolls easily. I put a dab of blue Loctite on the pivot screw. No box, second owner, but this could pass for new. These sold for $150 new when they discontinued the model.
Spartan Blades Astor - SOLD (was $110) - CF/G10 with a light texture to it, CTS-XHP steel, Les George design, fantastic ergos, easily flicked open, incredibly smooth action. A perfect no-nonsense knife and among the best thumb stud/liner lock knives I've owned. Second owner, but this could pass for new. $145 new.
CIVIVI Keen Nadder - SOLD (was $55) - No joke, smoother and more drop-shutty than knives many times its price. Dark stonewashed N690 blade with compound tanto grind. Brown micarta scales; these show the expected signs that they've been handled. Lightly carried but unused. $74 new.
Cold Steel AD-15 - SOLD (was $135) - S35VN steel and Andrew Demko's unique -- and incredibly fidget-friendly -- Scorpion Lock. The original colorway, but after they'd fixed the deformation issue with the lockbar notch; this one is perfect. Light signs of handling on the G10. Currently $216 new, but was ~$150 when I bought it.
Daggerr Vendetta - SOLD (was $55) - D2 blade (single-edged), screaming skull pocket clip. How often do you come across a 5" flipper? Outrageously good action, flies open and guillotines shut. Daggerr does a nice job on their knives. A few tiny dings in the liners on the spine; that's how it came. Carried but not used. $75 new.
CIVIVI Exarch - SOLD (was $40) - Hollow-ground D2 blade, flawless front-flipping action; possibly the best "first front flipper" out there. Slim and light, pockets like a dream. Looks new. Like all CIVIVIs, punches well above its price point. $50 new.
Zero Tolerance 0350BW - WITHDRAWN - This version is discontinued (and is the best-looking one, IMO). Black stonewashed S30V blade, typical fantastic ZT fit and finish. The best assisted knife I've ever owned, blasts open but is surprisingly easy to close one-handed. Light signs of carry on the G10. $156 new, depending on when you bought it.
WE Yucha - SOLD (was $135) - S35VN harpoon blade with a compound grind. Gorgeous stonewashed and anodized Ti handles with smooth, contoured carbon fiber onlays. Flawless WE action, almost drops shut. Carries like a smaller knife. Lightly carried but unused. Second owner, but this knife looks new; I've never used it. $253 new, but I got a deal and am passing that deal along.
Steel Will Plague Doctor - SOLD (was $50) - Black stonewashed D2 blade, G10 handles. An absolute beast with an unusual look, but it melts into your hand. Blasts open with the flipper. Reminds me of the original Benchmade Adamas, but with a flipper, a more practical grind, and better ergos (and for a lot less). Faint signs of carry on the G10, but this basically looks new. $73 new.
Kizer Flip Shank - SOLD (was $50)- S35VN, bead blasted titanium/brown micarta. A fun, cheerful little guy, but with Kizer's premium materials and usual excellent fit and finish. As expected, the micarta shows minor signs of handling, as does the clip. Minuscule ding in the end of the edge bevel, not sure how that got there. Fits my hand incredibly well for a small knife. $109 new.
Kizer Feist - SOLD (was $85) - Full titanium version. Kizer fixed the floating stop pin issue by the time I bought this one, and it also has the lightly scalloped lockbar release area. (It is not one of the newest ones, which have a relief cutout on the show side.) Flawless front-flipping action, and surprisingly great in my large hands. Some snail trails and signs of carry on the handles (pic 1, pic 2). $168 new.
Cold Steel 4-Max Scout - SOLD (was $75) - AUS10 steel. One of the best values in the CS line-up, an ergonomic gem, and a massive hunk of knife. "Carried" only at my desk, never used. Nicely broken-in Tri-Ad lock, incredible guillotine action. I bought this for $83 new.
Drop (Massdrop) Keen - SOLD (was $85) - Manufactured by WE, S35VN steel and Ti/Ti handles. I've carried this one quite a bit, though used it only a little; the bead-blasted scales and clip are covered in snail trails, scuffs, and scratches (pic 1, pic 2), and I've priced it accordingly. If you like the look of blasted Ti scales with this sort of aesthetic wear, this is the one for you. Excellent WE fit, finish, and action. $150 new from Drop.
Benchmade Loco - SOLD (was $125) - Discontinued model, full size not the mini, S30V steel and awesome smooth G10 handles. Larger pivot and Axis bar than a typical BM, designed to be a tough work/tactical knife. Has a minuscule amount of front-to-back play; I haven't disassembled it or tried to tune the pivot. Second owner. $180 when they discontinued it.
Drop (Massdrop) Raine - SOLD (was $145) - Kirby Lambert design manufactured by Reate, and it shows in the incredible fit, finish, and refinements. Hollow-ground RWL34 blade. Fat Carbon is gorgeous, but tricky to photograph. Second owner, but I've never used it and this knife could pass for new. An absolute steal for a Reate, but I got a good deal and am passing that deal along. $250-$300 new, depending on when you bought it.
PayPal only, "Goods and Services" only, US only. No trades. I'm covering USPS shipping and PayPal fees. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
The first "I'll take it" in this thread followed by a PM (or post on my profile, if you can't send PMs) gets dibs. (Questions, "I might be interested if," and the like aren't the same as claiming a knife.) If I haven't seen your PM/profile post within an hour, I'll assume you changed your mind and the knife will be available to others.
Buyer affirms they're legally permitted to own what they buy. I reserve the right to do business with whoever I choose.
Thanks for looking!
