Prices are your cost (nothing hidden and added on after) for shipping inside the U.S. and are OBRO. The pictures are linked because most are large. If you want any others (different angle or whatever) or any more information, feel free to email me. I do my best to get the knives out within a day of payment, and they've been averaging two weekdays to delivery using USPS, including across the country.

This has two scratches on one side of the handle that you can see at certain angles, one more than the other. There are scratches near the tip on one side from one pass on a DMT stone too shallow when I initially reprofiled the blade. The story of the knife it was sharpened but only carried a few times because of the thickness (not my preference, I came to realize). Lockup is strong and early, as you can see in the pictures.

Kershaw E.T.

Sharpened once when I got it. The streaks you see on the blade are from tuff-glide. Never carried. There is a shiny part on the back corner. The tip is slightly blunted on the side, slight enough I couldn't get a great picture of it. I have no idea how it got there; may have came that way. I bought it from a store, not second hand, so know it wasnt from use. There is a bit of rust spotting at the tang of the blade (where it says "E.T.")

This is a sharpened knife carried some. Scales still look pretty good (see pics). There is some scratches on the coating near the pivot, which you can see with the blade half way open (there is a picture of it) because I put a divot in it, meaning you CAN use this knife without the assist bar if you want. I also carbidized the lock face and flipper. Lockup is perfect, and centering is good. It flies open. I'd say this is a perfect user knife, better than factory, but it's not going to work as a safe queen.

This was flipped a bit but doesn't show it from what I see. I used a locktite-like substance on the screws that doesn't actually dry and just stays sticky so that they don't back out but also can be removed easily. It has not been sharpened (factory edge) but isn't too sharp.

What color are the scales of the Benchmade? Are they slightly purple or is that just the light in the photos?
