Hello! I'm purging a bit more of the collection. I'm not very much interested in trades, but feel free to shoot an offer regardless. Would the Tenacious series even warrant a trade? lol. Anyways, shipping and PayPal fees are on me, so the price you see is the price you are paying. Thank you for looking!
Spyderco Budget Lineup [Ambitious, Persistence, Tenacious (+Extra), Resilience] ($OLD)
I'm hoping to keep these together (it's easier on both of us this way), but if there's enough noise to split them up I will. Spoilers added for your convenience because this can turn into a novel real quick.

Spydero Endura 4 Saber Grind ($55)
This one was carried for about a week, and same deal with the Ambitious it has been used slightly in a restaurant setting. Centering is a little off to the left, but does not grind against the scale. Slight amount of side to side blade play, but still feels very solid. Tiny amount of wear on the clip. Very Spyder-flick friendly.

Benchmade 940 ($OLD)
This one has been carried, but not so much. Blade grind is a bit off and the centering is a hair off. Slight amount of side to side play, as expected from Benchmade. However, the actions is buttery smooth and the blade will come closed by itself even when held completely horizontal. This one has never cut anything. Very minor wear on the clip.

This is the small, cute, chubby guy of the lot. Out of the four knives here, this one has seen the most carry and the only one that has seen use. It was my daily user for about a week while I was working at a restaurant, so it was doing things like opening boxes, cutting tape, opening bags, etc. It's still very sharp, but a touch up would not be discouraged. Solid lockup with no play.
This is the second smallest one of the lot. 2.75" blade stays legal in a lot of places. This one had seen the least carry with no use at all. There is a very small amount of side to side play, but not enough to discourage me.
This is the second largest one of the lot. It's the first knife I ever owned (besides a Tac-Force piece of garbage). Carried for a while, never used (I still used a box cutter at the time and wanted to keep this one as nice as possible). Included with it is a second showside scale, fluorescent orange spiderweb design that I used as a "Halloween costume" of sorts for this guy, along with a D-ring that is used to help adjust the tolerances with the scale. Similar to the Persistence, this one has a slight amount of side to side play, but a lesser amount of it.
This is the giga daddy knife of the lot. Good luck pulling this one out in public without sending the masses running. This one has had more carry than the Tenacious but less than the Ambitious. Rock solid lockup. Out of the four, this is the one I'd consider keeping but I'd hate knowing I have one knife in the series and not the other three.
