Hoping to move these fast so I can pay rent. Whoops.
The terms of sale:
Kizer 4424A2 - $120 net / 124.2 goods
Full album HERE.
Very light carry and use - I carried this about 3 times before I concluded it wasn’t the knife for me. The most resilient thing I used it on was packing tape. It’s centered, super smooth (ceramic detent ball!), and has rock-solid early lockup. What I really like about this knife is that it exists somewhere between the Sebenza and the SMF in blade shape, size, and materials, but it exists in that price
erformance sweet spot that allows you to use it without any hesitation. Comes with box and papers.
Zero Tolerance 0770CF-M390 Serial # 0181 - $190 net / 196.65 goods
Full album HERE
BNIB, accompanied by all the usual goodies - paperwork, baggie, and anti-dessicant packet. Perfectly centered, vault lockup, snappy and smooth deployment, and it has a detent hole which allows de-assisting. I don’t usually mess with assisted knives, but I picked this out at a store as it seemed unusually beautifully finished compared to the others. I almost kept this, but expenses have made the decision for me.
Time for some bundles! These are all $35 each, but I will only sell two or more at a time, or bundled with one of the above knives.
Bad Blood Persian SOLD
Full album HERE
BNIB, although I have applied marine tuff-glide to all metal surfaces to prevent corrosion, and then fine-tuned / nano-lubed the pivot. It flips smoothly and locks up without play, is centered, and the unused factory edge is impressively sharp, as my thumb accidentally discovered while inspecting it. I have to say that I’m particularly impressed by this knife. It’s so solid and inspiring of confidence, and the finish is wonderful. I really do wish I had any reason to own this.
Benchmade 440C Griptilian SOLD
Full album HERE
Bought off of these very forums, and I have not used it. It has clearly seen use and carry, however. I’m impressed that a grip that is this old and not a safe queen woud have such smooth action and perfect lockup. It guess it’s a testament to Benchmade’s quality that it even still does not need service.
Cold Steel 4” Ti-Lite: SOLD
Full album HERE
I'm not really sure if this is the Ti version or not, so I'm just going to assume it's the aluminum version and price it accordingly in the bundle. Very much the same as the Grip functionally (in that it has seen use, but it is very smooth and locks up solidly) although it's a little off-center to the right because I like how smooth it is adjusted to that point. It could be centered, but, eh.
I was pleased to find that the little guard acts like an emerson wave. It’s really a very fun knife. If nobody buys it, I won’t really mind because it’s super fun to mess with.
Kershaw Echelon: SOLD
Full album HERE
De-assisted and better off for it. No torsion bar or box. It's glassy smooth with rock-solid lockup, a ZT pocket clip (original clip is gone), and has only been stropped as far as edge maintenance goes. It is very slightly off-center towards the lockside. I'm the original owner, and it has not been abused, and is only being sold because I carry my 0801 almost exclusively these days and that has such a similar blade profile that I don't need both.
I really do love this knife. It’s an affordable SJ-75 Baby Huey, which was something I had been looking for. Now that I’m not limited by blade size (it’s good to be back in Oklahoma), I have my sights set on bigger things…
Kershaw Strobe

BNIB. Never carried or used. I bought this on Amazon Prime thinking I could return it for free if I didn’t like it. Turns out, that is not the case. It’ll cost me the same to send it back as it would to send it to one of you guys, and now you can be assured what you’re getting is centered, smooth, solid, and flawless. The KVT action is crazy snappy.
The terms of sale:
- No lowball offers. That doesn't mean "I know you said no low offers, but" - it means no lowball offers.
- I do not accept personal checks or money orders. Paypal only.
- ConUS only. Please refer to your local laws. 18 and older only.
- The first "I'll take it" followed by an email/PM gets it. If there isn't a post saying "I'll take it", the item is still available unless otherwise noted, so go ahead and send me an email/PM. Emails are far and away the most preferred method of communication.
- Not interested in trades at this time.
