1) Maxace Balance M390 2017, $210 Shipped, LNIB with all original packaging, scary sharp factory edge. Super smooth with a mild detent.
2) Kizer Gemini Damasteel, $260 Shipped, LNIB with all original packaging, smaller than the original gemini (3in blade), with a lightish detent.
3) Kizer Theta, $140, LNIB with all original packaging, detent is too light/soft for me.
4) Kizer Envoy, $100 shipped, flips very well, has a fantastic detent, pretty smooth, but the blade favors the lockbar side, about 40/60, nothing rubs or is close to rubbing though. Comes with original packaging
5) Kizer Gemini (with issues), $SOLD, I've had nothing but issues with this knife, and haven't bothered contacting Kizer about any warranty work. The issues are that there is pretty significant side to side play. No up and down play, but there is a bit of lock rock if you push up and down hard enough. It's also off center, about 65/35, and the pivot is tightened about as far down as it'll go while having an openable knife. That being said, it is actually very smooth with pretty good action. I've taken this thing apart multiple times trying to see if I could figure something out, and never could, so there is some wear on the screws, but they aren't stripped or marred. This was the model that had the blue pocket clip, and I upgraded it to the milled titanium one you see. I'm not sure where the blue spring clip is, but if I find it, I'll send it along for no extra charge. You can buy this and deal with the hassle of dealing with customer service, or you can have a pretty cheap Kizer gemini with some issues that still functions. Comes with all original packaging.
6) WE Knives 803C Rectifier, $130 shipped, carried a couple of times and only cut open a food package. Can't find any blemishs to speak of. Comes with original packaging.
7) Massdrop / FFKW Crux, $105 shipped, never used or carried, but has one small shiny spot on the handle where your pinky sits. Blade looks a little discolored, but I assure you it's not, it's smudges that wipe away. Comes with original packaging.
8) Massdrop / FFKW Buc Bronze, $SOLD, LNIB, bought two, this one and the gray, and decided to keep the gray and sell this bronze one, only since I have a Crux in bronze and the upcoming Keen in bronze.
9) Spyderco Para 3 M390 Blue BBS, $155 shipped, LNIB, has a little lockstick if you flick it open hard. If you roll it open or lightly flick it open there isn't any lockstick.
10) Spyderco Paramilitary 2 M390 Blue BBS (with issues), $SOLD, LNIB but has some issues. The knife functions properly, but it's stiff, with an off center blade if you try to loosen the action at all. Screws don't sit 100% flush either, this shuold have bene a factory second IMO. I did take this knife apart to see if I could fix the action, with no avail, so warranty is probably waived. If you're unsure I can take a video and send it to you via Email to document it better.
