It's been a long time coming, and now that I've (a) purchased a gold membership and (b) just bought a Strider and need to recoup some funds, I'm liquidating some recent and non-recent acquisitions.
All of these are like new, nano-lubed, with boxes and papers.
Edit: Prices dropped.
The lot:
Spyderco Manix2 XL - $90
Blade shows signs of use but not of sharpening. Lockup is perfect, action is smooth, no signs of wear other than the light use on the blade. I carried this for a while, but I've since gotten a new phone, and, coupled with my wallet, there just isn't enough space in my front right pocket for this knife anymore.
Spyderco Manix2 DLC Plain Edge - $SPF
Tiny bit of side-to-side play that is only noticeable to someone as anal-retentive as I am about such things. edge shows almost no wear at all, but a keen eye can tell it has been slightly used. Smooth action, perfect example of the CBB lock. This was going to be my EDC, but I got a Gayle Bradley and that has taken over now that I'm comfortable with non-stainless blades.
The way my camera picks up the matte DLC coating makes this look dusty and used, but it's actually immaculate.
Spyderco Manix2 DLC Part-Serrated - $90
I'm not typically one for serrations, but I bought this because these serrations can actually be sharpened by a human being. I never got around to using it, though. Lock is still sticky from the factory and just needs to be broken in. Perfect lockup and smooth action.
Just like the other - the way my camera picks up the matte DLC coating makes this look dusty and used, but it's actually in perfect condition.
Spyderco Yojimbo2 - $SPF
Brand new, factory edge, smooth action, perfect lockup other than the slight side-to-side that is inherent in compression lock knives. I got this to be a replacement for the otherwise endless parade of terrible folding boxcutters, but settled on a Tuff Lite instead for the sake of weight (as I typically carry two additional knives at work, and like for my pants to stay up.)
Spyderco Brad Southard - $SPF
Fondled but unused. Flips open easily, with authority, and without fail. Lockup is early and perfect, edge is stupid sharp - not a flaw on the thing. I love it, but it's too pretty for me to use and I have a Strider coming in to fill the hard-use role.
Kershaw Speedform II - $SPF
I bought this to be an EDC knife, but never got around to actually carrying it. I've fiddled with it quite a bit to get it juuuust right - it arrived off-center from the factory and scraped on the liners a tiny bit, but it's hard to see in person. I've since centered it, stropped it to a ridiculously keen edge, and loctited the pivot.
Payment/shipping info:
-All prices include shipping and assume the Paypal Gift option. For goods/services, please add 3%.
-Money Orders are accepted, but lame.

-Lower 48 only, no international shipping.
No trades, please.
