All Sold - Cream of the Crop Folders: Wayfarer, XM-18 3", Benchmade, ZT 0452CF

[BubsterX1]

I am selling off some of my folders. All are new except that they have been professionally sharpened (except for the ZT). If you buy one and are not happy for any reason, I will take it back so long as it has not been used or disassembled, and if you pay the shipping both ways. All prices include shipping in the CONUS. No trades.

Please do not post comments, offers, or questions in the thread. Instead, PM me or send an email to BubsterX1 at gmail. Thanks for looking.

First up:

Olamic Wayfarer 247 3.5" Stonewashed M390, TI Matte Bronze hardware, Kinetic X Acid Rain handle. I got this from a forum member and have flipped it a few times and sliced a piece of paper to confirm that the edge was as sharp as it looked. It is. The previous owner got the knife from Apostle P, who has a knife sharpening business that he promotes on YouTube and elsewhere. He uses the EdgePro system if I recall correctly. Anyhow, he clearly knows what he is doing because the blade has a near-mirror finish on it and its very sharp. Note that the handle has the "acid rain" holes on the show side but not the clip side (some versions have it on both). The knife has a great weight to it and it flips open with authority. Comes with soft case, certificate, and pivot adjustment tool. $OLD.

Hinderer XM-18 3" Gen6 No-Choil Slicer, Battle Black DLC M390 steel, Black G10 Scale. As you can see from the videos linked here, it is easy to open this knife using the thumbstud or the flipper; you do not have to flick your wrist at all to do it. It's perfectly calibrated in my opinion. I have taken this knife apart to put a drop of Nano oil on the pivot. I think I sharpened it too; I just don't recall. There are no marks on the blade or the handle or other evidence of use. It's very sharp and centered. Currently on the bearings, the other washers are included. $415 G&S or $400 F&F.

Zero Tolerance 0452CF with S35VN Blade. This one is new in the box. I did not sharpen it, and have not used it for anything other than to slice a piece of paper to see how sharp the blade is. It came very sharp from the factory; I was not tempted to sharpen it on the Wicked Edge. It has a fantastic flipping action; for a relatively low cost production folder, you can't beat the action on a ZT. It drops shut easily; in fact, if you don't get your thumb out of the way fast enough you can get a little slice, like I did in the linked video! $OLD.

Benchmade Osborne 940-1 / 943 blade swap. This knife has the drop point blade from a brand new 943 installed in the handle of a brand new 940-1 with carbon fiber scales. Blade is centered and it will drop shut. I sharpened it on my Wicked Edge and, after testing the blade on a piece of paper I put it back in the box, which is a 943 box. Comes with two extra black clips. $old.

Benchmade Presidio II 570. I used this knife to cut some cardboard. I also sharpened it on my Wicked Edge. The blade is centered. It does not drop shut, but it will close with a flick of the wrist, as demonstrated in the linked video clip. $OLD.
