Still a couple grand short of a car. Time to clear out the reserves.
UPDATE 6/26/14:
- PANIC MODE PRICE DROPS ACROSS THE BOARD†
- SPYDERCO SZABO ADDED
- CAPSLOCK KEY IS STUCK
UPDATE 6/28/14:
- PRICE DROPS ACROSS THE BOARD†
- NOT MUCH LEFT BUT THE PRICES CAN'T BE BEAT
- CAPSLOCK KEY STILL STUCK
† Benchmade 7505-132 not included. That price is pretty calm and isn't panicking about anything.
Round 2!
FIGHT!
The terms of sale:
Not interested in trades whatsoever at this time - nor am I considering offers lower than the listed “net” amounts. They’re already at good prices. C’mon. Don’t shake me down in my time of need.
For the sake of Photobucket bandwidth and thread size consolidation, I have one picture up for each knife and then an album link with more pictures (centering, lockside, lockup, etc). Some pictures have been brightened to better show the lockup and centering.
Spyderco Szabo - $135 net / $139.73 goods SOLD
LNIB, or BNIB as far as I can tell. I got this in a partial trade for a 0801CF (the previous owner described it as “like new.” I can’t see anything that would distinguish it from regular new, but I’ll keep the price point around “like new” for the sake of decency), and I wanted to check it out in comparison to the CQC-13 I had already ordered as they’re both longer clip-point blades. I ended up going with the CQC-13, and this bad boy is ready to be released back into the wild. In it’s stay at Comeuppance Ranch, it was treated with Nano-lube and given a right old cleaning without disassembly (which took quite a bit of restraint on my part. The 13 has already been apart about 5 times), and is now shiny, clean, smooth, solid, sharp, and centered. I’d only handled one other Szabo before this one, and that was from a pawn shop, but this seems to be smoother than most Szabos if I’m to believe most reviews I’ve seen of the knife.
Anyway, this guy comes with the box. I don’t think papers are included. The LSCF on this one is simultaneously off the hook AND the chain. It’s just lying there completely unsupported. That’s how sick the LSCF is.

Benchmade 7505-132 - $455 net / $470.93 goods TRADE PENDING, OFFER WAS BETTER THAN MY STRENGTH OF WILL
Mint in box, perfect in every way, comes with all the goodies (box, case, certificates, decal, etc), stored open with no pressure on the auto mechanism, opens smoothly as a manual. If it were legal to carry it, I would. This this just makes me think of Gundam and Terminator 2 every time I look at it.

Benchmade 440 Opportunists - $220 net / $227.7 goods $200 net / $207 goods ][/COLOR] $190 net / $196.65 goods each
Both are dead mint, with flawless lockup and centering. Literally as perfect as you could possibly get. Also, crazy discontinued and difficult to find. Both come with box, papers, and bags.

Cold Steel American Lawman - $30 net / $31.05 goods SOLD
Light carry, almost zero use (cuticle trimming), no box, only the attached pocket clip. WYSIWYG. Smooth, perfect lockup, very sharp factory edge (CS knows AUS8 and initial grinds for sure) - I got this to check out whether I would like a Demko AD-10, and I have no other use for it now that I’ve made my decision.

Hogue EX-04 3.5” Wharncliffe - $155 net / $160.43 goods $140 net / $144.9 goods SOLD
Uncarried, unused, mint, centered, glassy smooth, factory polished edge is razor sharp. This is one of the most utilitarian knives I have ever held. It wants to work. It’s designed as more of a defensive tool, but, honestly, those same knives are often the best work knives. This is one of those. Comes with box, polyfoam sleeve, and papers.

Spyderco Domino - $150 net / $155.25 goods SOLD
Like new other than light carry marks on the clip (which Spyderco will replace for free if you ask them for one). I don’t think I ever used it to cut, but I did put a nice polish on the edge to see if CTS-XHP takes a polish well. It does. Smooth, rock solid, and comes with box/bag/papers.

Lansky 440C 3.5” Responder - $20 net / $20.7 goods SOLD
Twenty bucks has never looked so good. Flips perfectly, it’s centered, it’s sharp, it’s sexy, and I would honestly say this is more than just competition for the Tenaciouses and the Utilitacs out there. Light carry, almost zero use (cuticles again, which is the only thing I ever end up cutting when I’m not sure if it’s one I’m going to keep), no box because it was clamshell packed.

Kershaw Damascus Skylines - $65 net / $67.28 goods $60 net / $62.1 goods each TWO SOLD, only the one on the left remains ALL SOLD 6/28
All three are dead mint, flip without wrist action, lock up perfectly, and are centered when closed. None of them have been carried or used, but I did once put one between each knuckle and pretend I was damascus wolverine for a minute or two.

Spyderco Lionspy - $230 net / $238.05 goods $215 net / $222.53 goods $208 net / $215.28 goods
Medium carry and use - not that you can tell. The clip shows the most wear, as the handles and blade don’t seem to have any permanent marks. Reprofiled to an incredibly sharp 34-degree inclusive angle on my wicked edge. Comes with the Spyderco zippered pouch, bag, tool, and brochure. Smooth, solid, and centered. Very smooth, actually.

Zero Tolerance 0801CF - $425 net / 439.88 goods SOLD
This is an incredible thing.
This one gets more pictures.
(Full album here)
Of course, it’s functionally perfect. Dead center, perfect lockup, incredible flipping action, whatever. It’s also dead mint and comes with the box, bag, and papers.
But there’s more…!
First, the lockbar left the factory with a green and blue and purple accent.
The lanyard holes are different colors as well.
And even the ZT logo…!

The terms of sale:
- No lowball offers. That doesn't mean "I know you said no low offers, but" - it means no lowball offers. The reason for this is twofold; it’s a huge waste of time to respond to them, and they're already at pretty good prices.
- I do not accept personal checks or money orders. Paypal only.
- ConUS only. Please refer to your local laws. 18 and older only. I can ship internationally if the buyer both pays the shipping and accepts that all risk falls on the buyer once it leaves my hands. I haven't had any issues, though.
- 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.
