1) Maxace Balance M390 2017, $220 Shipped, LNIB with all original packaging, scary sharp factory edge. Super smooth with a lighter detent.
2) Kizer Theta, $150 Shipped, LNIB with all original packaging, detent is too light/soft for me.
3) ZT 0562CF CTS 204p, $SOLD, bought this from another forum user that stated he carried it and used it a bit. It's in really great condition for seeing any carrying. Only real signs of wear is a small mark on the "204p" lettering on the lock side of the blade. Small disclaimer, I noticed a small amount of rust on the top of the liner on the carbon fiber side (it's steel), and decided to open the knife up to see if it went any further, and sure enough the scale littered with small rust spots. No amount of WD-40, soap, or #0000 steel wool would take it all off, so I lightly sanded the scale down to a more satin finish and soaked both the blade and scale in oil for 30 minutes, since these bead blasted steel scales on the 0562CF seem to be huge rust magnets. Shouldn't rust anymore with the new finish. I can message/email pictures before and after of the scale if anyone is interested. Comes with box.
4) ZT 0808, $140 shipped, bought here on the forums, has some very feint marks which could just be ZT's aggressive stonewash finish. Blade is extremely sharp (factory edge), but has a minor amount of lock stick. Comes with original packaging.
5) Kizer Gemini (with issues), $70 shipped OBO, 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.
