Al Mar SERE 2000
LNIB, has cut some paper to test sharpness and it is sharp. Never sharpened, carried a few times, shows almost no wear. Has 2 VERY light scratches that take a keen eye and the right lighting to find. Grind on one side is a tiny bit off. Has some vertical blade play if you push down on the blade. Let my friend look at it and he gave it a hard inertial opening, which impacted the liner lock face a little which causes it to move a bit if you press down (nowhere near disengagement though). Still locks up safely about halfway into the tang and passes spine whacks. Blade is perfectly centered and has no horizontal bladeplay. If I wasn't so picky about the lockup on my knives, I would keep it.

NIB, has cut paper to test edge. Was sent to Kershaw for warranty service. Blade is pretty dull, and has a very light scuff on the side. Blade is well centered, but not perfect. Lockup is solid and engages about 1/3rd of the tang. Cool little knife, but not really my cup of tea.
(UPDATED) I'm looking for these two knives (preferably NIB or LNIB) and can add money to make up any difference:
Cold Steel Arc Angel Wide Clip Point only
Cold Steel Recon Scout
Benchmade 42
Buck/Strider 881 Mini Spear Point (plain edge only)
Spyderco Street Beat
Might entertain other offers (maybe a Carbon V Trailmaster), but I'm really just looking for these two knives.
