Marlin fillet knife - July 2004, plain edge, some light rub marks on outside of handle and sheath from touching other objects in my safe. Blade is minty perfect and well-covered with Marine Tuff Cloth. No box. (I don’t think these actually came with one.)
SOCOM Elite Auto - July 2000, wooden insert work done by custom knifemaker Eddie Baca. Comes with an additional set of wooden inserts and original rubber ones, but it would be quite difficult, even for an expert, to get these out without damaging them or the knife. Part-serrated stonewash blade is perfect. Handle shows only the faintest evidence of carry through some rub marks on two corners of the handle. Eddie Baca also drilled it for tip-up carry. Comes with original sheath and box.
SOCOM Elite Manual - June 2000, Plain-edge stonewash blade is perfect. Handle shows only the faintest evidence of carry through some rub marks on one corner of the handle. Redrilled for tip-up carry by an engineer friend who did a perfect job. Locks up perfectly with a loud and satisfying “CLACK!” Comes with original sheath and box, but the box insert is cracked and doesn’t have the cardboard sleeve on the outside of the box. Original lanyard is also missing. GONE
Amphibian Manual - January 2002, part serrated, cool dark (Body-coated?) blade that you can see the stonewash pattern through. Handle has two pinhead sized nicks and two pinpoint sized nicks through handle anodizing plus some light cary marks. Some wear on pocket clip. Blade is perfect. Perfect lock-bar lockup. No box or sheath.GONE
Lightfoot LCC Manual - September 2000, part-serrated blade is perfect, beadblast bolsters and clip show a few rub marks. Carbon-fiber scales are perfect. Carried little - everything is still nice and tight - opening is still snug; not even broken-in yet. Silver backspacers. Comes with original sheath with shark on it, original lanyard, plastic bag with American and Canadian flags on it, and original box.GONE
SOCOM Elite FRAMELOCK - February 2004. This is a mid-sized model with a 3 3/8” plain-edge satin blade which is perfect. The edges of the end of the handle that goes down into the pocket show some wear; otherwise perfect. Note: This one is for tip-up carry only and has recessed skateboard tape that doesn’t chew up your pants since it sits down below the surface about 1/32”. Comes with original box and sheath.
Mini Socom Manual - October 1998, plain-edge silver-alox coated clip-point blade shows only one tiny 1/8” scratch on right side by thumb stud. Handle shows a few very light marks from carry. Redrilled for tip-up carry by an engineer friend of mine who did a perfect job. Locks up perfectly with a satisfying clack. Comes with original box and sheath. Lanyard in box is not original. GONE
TANTO Mini Socom Manual - November 1999, part-serrated silver-alox coated blade. Redrilled for tip-up carry by an engineer friend of mine who did a perfect job. Otherwise like-new in original box with sheath. Original lanyard is still on knife. GONE
Vector Manual - April 2002. Rare 3-tone blade is coarse satin-finished on the grinds, fine finished on the flats and beadblasted in the milled-hole areas. Blade is perfect. Handle shows only the faintest evidence of carry through some rub marks on one corner of the handle and slight wear to center of bead-blast pivot screw head. Drilled for tip-up carry by custom knifemaker Eddie Baca. Comes with original box and sheath. PENDING
LUDT Auto - older model marked May 1998, rayskin inserts, plain edge, bead-blast finish, some very light marks on handle which look exaggerated in photos, there is a faint stain on the spine of the handle where your thumb would go in a sabre grip which looks like an oil spot, but doesn’t come off. The blade is perfect. Handle redrilled for tip-up carry by custom knifemaker Eddie Baca. Comes with original sheath and original golden box that Microtech used to use way back.GONE
Mini UDT Auto - August 2002, New. Never even played with. No box unless I can find it soon.PENDING
Mini Socom Elite Auto - November 2003, black-coated plain edge blade shows some coating wear and shiney spots but nothing that goes through to the metal, handle has 3 half-pin-head sized nicks through anodizing near base of blade when opened, blade has some usage marks. This one has the safety. Drilled for tip-up/tip-down carry by an engineer who did a perfect job. Comes with sheath and tube.
UTX-70 - May 2005, Silver Carbon Fiber, Carried one day, handle shows only the faintest evidence of carry through some rub marks on one corner of the handle. Satin blade is perfect. Comes with box and sheath.GONE
Amphibian Auto - January 2002. This knife is so nice it’s silly! It’s been customized by two people. Someone (don’t know who) satin-finished the blade and polished all the hardware. Matt Geissal did the bullfrog skin inserts for me. The one time I carried this I sliced some cardboard on a marble countertop and put two tiny nicks in the edge. I’ve been afraid to carry it since. Otherwise this knife is perfect and spectacular! This model doesn’t have the “fence” around the button. Comes with original box and sheath.GONE
LUDT Auto BLUE - June 2001, pinkish-purple backspacers, plain-edge, bead-blast. Mint in box with sheath and lanyard. Box still contains Tony’s religious literature.GONE
