I'm cleaning out the knife drawers to make a little room and fund another purchase, so up for sale are two discontinued Benchmades and one Zero Tolerance, all in like new condition.
First up is a Benchmade 950 Osborne Rift. I'm the original owner on this one. This particular version featuring all-black hardware including thumb-studs and AXIS lock with a black-oxide split arrow clip is particularly handsome. The 154CM blade has even grinds and a very sharp, typically toothy BM factory edge. Centering ever-so-slightly favors the clip side and is likely correctible should it bother you. Action is smooth, the blade flicks out freely, no play in any direction. I think I carried this once but can't recall ever cutting anything with it. Knife still needs breaking in, but closes easily with just the ever-so-slight wrist movement. Including, baggie, etc and lanyard, this one is priced at$145--DROPPED TO $135. SOLD.
Next is the Benchmade McHenry and Williams 710 SBK. I bought this one new just before they disappeared from the market. I love 710s, owning 3 others and bought this just to have. Never been carried or used and only handled a bit right here in my chair, the knife is in every way LNIB. The black-coated D2 blade is evenly ground and wickedly factory-sharp. Free-dropping action, dead-balls centered, flicks out easily, exceptionally nice G10 grips on this knife. One can force the slightest amount of side-to-side play with some effort, but it is otherwise unnoticeable. This is just an excellent example of a classic knife, but I already have a LNIB satin and a user in D2 as well as a -1401 and don't wanna mark this one up, so I thought I'd pass it along to someone who'd appreciate having it. Knife with box, baggie, etc is also priced at $145. The 710 is SOLD.
Lastly is a catch and release for me, the Zero Tolerance 0920 Les George, based on his Harpy model. I really like Les's stuff and have his Wilson Combat Eagle and ZT 0909. I like this one too, but there's a lot of fluted Ti frame lock competition in my collection, and I don't think this'll get any carry and use, so I'll pass it along. I bought this LNIB here a couple weeks ago and have not carried or used it at all, though I've probably opened and closed it a couple hundred times. The F&F on this one is exceptionally ZT nice, super flipper, smooth action, closes under its own weight after passing the detent ball, perfect centering, great lock-up. The S35VN blade has a handsome stonewash and wicked sharp factory edge. The all-Ti handles are generously milled out inside and the 3D milling on the contoured grips is both handsome and great-feeling in hand. With box and all this knife is priced at$200--DROPPED TO $190. SOLD.
All prices include USPS Priority Small Flat Rate Box shipping and are payable by Paypal Goods and Services only. Shipping will be to Paypal-listed US addresses only. I will consider shipment to Canada for the extra cost of shipping and insurance, though buyer must assume all risk for loss internationally and through Customs. Please post "I'll take it" in the thread followed by a PM for exchange of information for any knife you'd like to purchase. Profile Message if you can't PM. Prompt payment is expected to secure any deal and I reserve the right to sell to whom I choose. You must be at 18 years-of-age and know your local knife laws in order to purchase. Reasonable offers will be considered, though I'm not interested any trades at this time.
Thanks for looking.
