Moving a couple autos around to make room for new acquisitions!
BF's email system has been really unreliable as of late. I can be reached directly at "leonardspock", a gmail email account. (just add @gmail.com - I broke it up like this to avoid automatic email gathering bots)
For the sake of bandwidth and thread size, I have 1-2 pictures per knife and links to photobucket albums for each knife with more pictures, including centering and lockup shots and typically any included accessories.

Benchmade USMC Presidio Auto w/sheath, hook BNIB - $200 $180 friends and family / $207 $186.3 goods and services (each)
Full album HERE
I have two of these, BNIB. Neither have ever been carried or used. They come with all the goodies - a sheath for the knife, a sheath for the hook, and two MALICE clips. Also, of course, the box and papers! Both are cosmetically off-center, with solid lockup and snappy and easy deployment. This model also has a safety on the spine of the handle, which I didnt know when I picked these up!
Anyway, combo edges arent my thing and I have other autos to check out (TR 4.1, youre on my short list) so away these go!
Microtech Combat Troodon 143-1 OD S/E P/E black elmax blade - $325 $315 (Paypal "friends and family") / $336.38 $326.03 (Paypal "goods and services") **SOLD**

This one hurts a little, because I really wanted to have this as my main carry knife when public carry of automatic knives is legalized in November in Oklahoma. However, my concerns about internal corrosion are too strong given how humid the whole damned state is, and how sweaty my buttular region can get when exposed to such humidity. So, before this state turns those springs into brown fuzzy caterpillars, Im re-homing it and resigning myself to side-openers until I move somewhere drier.
The switch fires fast and pretty easily, but is stiffer on the retract. Lockup is (apparently) average for an OTF, with wiggle but no rattle. The blade has seen exceptionally little use and has only been very carefully stropped to bring it to a keener edge than it was from factory. It has been carried a number of times, but I cannot find any signs of it anywhere on the knife.
This is indistinguishable from brand new, but it is not brand new! So, its heavily discounted but without any particularly good reason but honesty.

The terms of sale:
- Please, only reasonable offers.
- All prices include USPS priority 2-day shipping with tracking. I ship quickly and package things well. Im just as - if not more - impatient and picky as you are, so I get them to yeh as soon as is possible.
- I do not accept personal checks or money orders. Paypal only, please.
- US only, please. Please check your local laws before buying anything. 18 and older only.
- The first "I'll take it" followed by an email/PM gets it. Emails are far and away the most preferred method of communication.

Not interested in trades at this time
As always, no deal is done until you are happy. I do my best to describe everything accurately, but if you find you disagree, well work something out.
