Selling a small assortment. Everything has solid lockup and fine action, centering is pretty spot on for everything but the Lil Lionspy (but nowhere near rubbing). My prices are all inclusive, shipping and fees included. All knives come with their box/pouch.
Photos/videos:
First is the Spyderco Lil Lionspy. Very smooth action, light user with a little blade wear I can't get to show on camera well, just light spider webbing from cutting cardboard. Centering is a touch off, but nowhere near rubbing. Blade has been reprofiled from the terribly obtuse factory edge (I think it was around 22° per side) and sharpened to one of my better edges. Comes in the pouch, these were not sold with a box, I bought it years ago as NOS from I believe GPKnives. Asking $225.
Next is the smallest of the bunch, the Zieba MS3. Titanium M390 flipper, very compact and snappy. Has not been used, but has been carried a little, has not been sharpened. Excellent gent's flipper, just not a lefty clip knife so I won't carry it. Great centering and lockup. Asking $175.
SPF Next is in my opinion the best flipper of the bunch, the American Blade Works (ABW) Model 1, unsure of the version though. Excellently contoured micarta, S35VN blade, and a wicked flip. You can hear the thwack in the video, it's addicting. It has been well used, with some blade finish wear in the photos, has been sharpened. Not a safe queen, but definitely still a ton of life left. Great centering and lockup. Asking $100.
Next is the ZT 0566. Blackwash version, rare older model with Elmax steel. Okay flipper without torsion bar, but does require a little wrist. I do not believe I ever used it, but I did carry and sharpen it so it is a "user". Orange scale had the pocket milled wrong so it doesn't work with the torsion bar, but I'm including it because I have zero use for it (this is my only 0566) and the price won't reflect it being included. Asking $100, a steal for a ZT in Elmax.
Last is the rarity of the bunch, a very old Cold Steel Recon 1 with the Ultra Lock. These weren't produced for long because Benchmade stopped them (I believe it was licensed) and these are pretty hard to come by. It has been used a tiny bit hence the paint wear, but their old old paint was notoriously easy to chip. AUS-8 steel (standard for the time) and in overall great condition considering the age. Edge has been sharpened. Asking $100, definitely one to get if you like Cold Steel history.
