ALL SOLD

I’ve picked up a couple of 975 Benchmades in trades (no boxes). These are the larger, rarer version of the original Emerson CQC7 in ATS-34. Both partially serrated. One is the bead-blast finish; the other has the black BT coating. Both may have seen some light use and possible carry, but they both also look like they could easily be “new old stock” in a retail store. Just a few light scuffs—both lock up tight with no play.

Your choice for $125 shipped in USA, postal money orders only—not set up for Paypal. ALL SOLD.

Also have a mint Strider PT folder, drop point, $225 shipped in USA. PT IS SOLD

ALL PM's and emails replied to. As it states in the opening post, I'm not set up for Paypal. Purchases by postal money order only, shipping included anywhere in the USA. Not really looking for trades.

ALL THREE KNIVES STILL AVAILABLE.

Thanks,
Will

How is the lock-up on the PT? If it is solid w/ ZERO blade play I'll take it.

Is the blade centered?

How early is the lock up?( How far to the left of the blade tang does the lock bar engage?

Thank you for your time.

All the best,
Jason

1) Lock-up is solid with no blade play. Just as on any bushing-built folder, you can move the blade on the pivot if you push hard enough on the tip of the knife, but there's nothing sloppy about the lock-up--it's solid.

2) The blade is not centered, but it easily clears the liner and does not come close enough to a liner to risk being marked by rubbing on a liner.

3) Lock-up is nice and early--outside of lock bar moves less than half way across the tang. Most of lock bar is still outside the edge of the tang at full deployment.

The knife operates smoothly and solidly, just as it was designed to, with all of its useful life ahead of it. It is in mint condition, as advertised.

ALL THREE KNIVES STILL AVAILABLE.
 
I'll take the PT if it's stil available, email sent
