First, the terms/details:
- No money orders or checks, please.
- No offers, please. They're already at prices lower than any dealer online, and are of a known and verified condition.
- Prices include ConUS USPS Flat-Rate shipping and assume PayPal gift. Add 3% if you want to use Goods/Services.
- Open to New/Like New/NIB/LNIB trades, but not to more than two knives at a time. If the street value of an offer is considerably lower than what you are offering it for, I reserve the right to give you a very stern look for wasting our mutual time.
As far as trades go, and just to save time, I'm not interested in serrations, assisted openers / autos, lockbacks, axis locks or similar mechanisms, Emersons, blades under 3 inches or over 4 inches, anything without a pocket clip, anything with blade play/uncentered blades/faulty pivots, or fixed blades.
On to the meat:
BNIB Microtech D.O.C. Green Stonewashed M/A Plain Edge - $295 shipped *SPF*
I bought this mint in box, took it out, fondled it, flipped it, put Marine Tuff-Glide on the blade to prevent corrosion, put it in my pocket, took it out, and put it back in the box. Such was the extent of my experience with this knife. I just can't bring myself to carry it, and I have a Whaleshark en route - so, I'm just trying to recoup my expense by selling it at what I paid, but eating the cost of shipping. This is the version with the improved clip.
The handle is mint - the tiny white stuff on the handle in picture 4 is dust, not scratches. the flipper action is fantastic as it rides on nano-lubed bearings, the lockup is tighter than I've ever seen on a knife (I thought I knew what perfect lockup was until I held this, but it doesn't even have side-to-side play with the lock disengaged) and is at 50%, the blade is centered and unused and is also the sharpest I've seen out of a factory. Face-shaving sharp, which is impressive as it has a thick, beefy blade. Amazing ergonomics with the handle thinning slightly down towards the blade and widening at the base. Combine that with the flipper choil, and you have a cutting tool that feels like a natural extension of your hand.
Comes with box and papers, warranty has not been voided in any way. I would list this as mint, because it basically is, but it certainly has been opened and closed. This is the perfect example of a DOC.
Here's a link to the specs on BladeHQ. This version is either sold out or ridiculously overpriced everywhere.
