Hey BF, for sale are three (edit: two now) real gems. All of these are in excellent condition, with any modifications (ZT & Copper Natrix) or cosmetic blemishes (Copper Natrix) noted. All are mechanically perfect. I'm the second owner on the ZT and am the original owner of the Bestech and Kershaw, which were both purchased new within the last three weeks.
Zero Tolerance ZT 0562cf - A classic....'nuff said. Modifications here include: 1) addition of blue anodized standoffs and screws, and 2) reprofiling of the blade to 18 degrees on a KME, with finishing by 1500 grit diamond stone and then stropping. When I got it, it basically tore paper, now just glides through. The original owner added the blue standoffs and screws, which I think look great: however, note that the blue ano is worn on one side of the standoffs. Original black screws and standoffs are included.

Bestech Engine - Spectrum Titanium / Drop Point - This is a very nice small knife, with a cool "spectrum" anodization on the clip side and excellent carbon fiber on the other side. This combo of spectrum finish and drop point blade has been sold out for a while everywhere I've looked online. This knife is in flawless LNIB condition and hasn't been carried. I tweaked the pivot screw a bit to my liking and added a few drops of Knife Pivot lube.

Kershaw Copper Natrix - Got this in new last week as the first Kershaw I've ever owned and have carried/handled on an almost daily basis since then, rubbing with my fingers and rolling around in my palms in an attempt to get that nice copper patina developing. It's getting there. My only problem with this knife is that it was quite possibly the least sharp blade out of the box I've ever bought. Last night, I hit it with the KME for a reprofiling/sharpening down to 18 degrees. So, yeah, it's pretty sharp now, but I confess that I wasn't as careful as I would have been with a more expensive blade, resulting in a friction groove in the relatively soft copper on either side of the end of scales near the pivot (see photo album). I also ground it a little asymmetrically near the tip on one side (again, see photos). No other issues. As with the Bestech Engine, I tweaked the pivot screw a bit to my liking and added a few drops of Knive Pivot lube. Also applied EDCi solution to help protect the D2 blade. I wanted copper patina, not steel.
