The terms of sale:
For the sake of bandwidth and thread size, I have 1-2 pictures per knife and links to photobucket albums for each knife with more pictures, including centering and lockup shots.
-----
I got bit by the Automatic bug! I just got an Ultratech and more are likely to come (Kershaw Launch 1, Protech TR-4, and more are on my list ) so I need to free up some funds.
I also have a Sebenza 21 Tanto from 2010 listed [[>>HERE<<]]
TRADES:
- Not interested in trades at this time (except for a Launch 1 or a TR-4 auto plain edge in NIB or LNIB condition)
As always, no deal is done until you are happy. I do my best to describe everything accurately, but if you find you disagree, well work something out.

Strider SMF CC Coyote Brown / Stonewashed S30V FG blade / SW lockside - $425 net ("friends and family") / $439.88 "goods and services" SOLD
Full album HERE
Like new in bag - I would say brand new but I am not the original owner. It was sold to me described as uncarried and unused, and my meticulous inspection did not detect a single sign of wear - no scuffs, no scratches, no pivot wear, nothing. I can hardly believe this thing is even a Strider with how perfect it is. It has the smoothest pivot action Ive ever felt on a non-bearing-pivot knife (it falls closed when disengaged), the blade is dead nuts centered when closed, theres no lock stick (lockface has been sharpied, I found), the lockup is perfect Im blown away. The original invoice from Monkey Edge is included, which also shows the original price ($550).
Zero Tolerance 0452CF BNIB - $200 net / ea ("friends and family") / $207 "goods and services" Two SOLD, third on hold
Full album HERE
I have three of these brand new in box! Centered, flies open with a stiff detent, rock solid lockup, super smooth falls-closed pivot action and a super nice detent noise when closing it. Its a click of pure perfection, that sound.
Zero Tolerance 0620CF M390 - $210 net ("friends and family") / $217.35 "goods and services" SOLD
Full album HERE
I could not stop taking pictures of this knife. There are a few differently-lit versions of otherwise identical pictures in the album because of sexiness.
Like new in box - the only sign of wear is that the very edges of the pocket clip are slightly lightened from the one (1) day that I carried it. I did not end up using it, and just waved it out of my pocket a few times to see how it felt - I honestly prefer the blade shape of my Kershaw/Emerson 4KXL, and I already have a 4 Hogue Tanto So this one is going to a better home! No papers, though - just the bag and box. Dead centered, perfect lockup, great pivot action! Also, the M390 version is discontinued, but I dont really feel like that makes it more valuable (204P is the same so its just lettering on the knife. A production knife.) so $210 it is.
Zero Tolerance 0560 BNIB W/ discontinued Schmuckatelli Zero Tolerance Blue/Gray Lanyard + Bead - $170 net / 175.95
Full album HERE
Brand new in box, cosmetically off-center to the left when closed, and mechanically perfect otherwise. The bead has been discontinued for a while now, and goes perfectly with this knife! Neither have been carried or used - theyve just been sitting around my apartment, like my roommate - but this knife will probably be better at paying rent.
Hogue EX-01 3.5 Aluminum Tanto - $115 net / $119.03 goods
Full album HERE
Brand new in box - the ideal combination of size and materials for the EX-01, IMO. Smooth, solid, well-balanced, capable, and prettiful. I was going to give this to a friend for his birthday but he bought his own after seeing mine, so Im selling this to get him something else.
Kershaw Ruby 4040 BNIB - $405 net / $419.18 goods SOLD
Full album HERE
Brand new in box! Uncarried, unused, unsharpened - Perfect all around, as you would expect - centered, solid lockup, glorious flipping action, and beautiful red standoffs. I bought this in the sealed box on these very forums, took pictures, and... I sat on this for a long time thinking I might use it as a cheaper alternative to getting a Rockstead, but I think I just need to save my big boy pennies up and get a legit Higo, so off this goes. Comes with box, certificate, external box - literally everything that is included stock.
Spyderco Lionspy BNIP - $210 net ("friends and family") / $217.35 "goods and services"
Full album HERE
Brand new in zippered pouch! Still stiff from the factory, but smoothed out considerably in just the few times I opened and closed it for pictures. Cosmetically off-center to the right, with perfect lockup! No marks on the handle that I could detect, absolutely unused blade, tool still scotch-taped to the plastic baggie! If it were any minty fresh-er it would double as an air freshener.
Benchmade 757BK Vicar - $190 net / $196.65 goods SOLD
Full album HERE
This thing is unlike anything Ive ever seen from Benchmade. Not only is it a big, confidence-inspiring motherF of a blade, but its a stout linerlock with stonewashed and thick anodized liners. The grind on the blade is beautiful and the fuller really ties it all together. Carried and used one day to see if it was going to be a keeper - it tried its very best to unseat my 4 Hogue EX-01 Tanto, but that Hogue is my soul blade. No signs of carry or use except for a small scuff on the blade coating that would wipe off - but I left it there to show that it is indeed used. Centered, rock-solid, with box, papers, and baggie, and really great super smooth pivot action! I love this thing, but I dont need two 4 tanto folders. I mean seriously. This also strongly reminds me of the Spyderco Vallotton, in a lot of ways (big, thick linerlock with superstupidsmooth pivot and great attention to detail)
Benchmade 771BC1 Boron Carbide coated blade - $170 net / $175.95 goods
Full album HERE
In unused and like new condition aside from some handling marks. This is one of the rarest knives Ive ever held, with the long-discontinued highly-sought-after basically-scratch-proof black Boron Carbide coating on the blade and a beautiful white aluminum handle. Its light, smooth, solid, wear-resistant, and rarer than rare. As with a few other knives in this listing, I havent seen one of these pop up in ages and ages, and, given that they were discontinued close to a decade ago, its unlikely one will pop up again anytime soon. I think the last one that sold here was used and was listed for more, as well.
Zero Tolerance 0350 Brown Aluminum MIB $175 net / $181.13 goods
Full album HERE
A real rarity these days - most of these have ended up as dedicated users or have found their way into permanent collections, but this one is safe from me because I still cant get over recurves or assist mechanisms. Aside from a small mark on the clip side, this is factory fresh with snappy assisted opening, playless lockup, and a centered blade when closed. These have been discontinued for years, and I havent seen one on these forums in some time now
Spyderco Sage 3 CF BNIB - $95 net / $98.33 goods
Full album here
Brand new in box with perfect centering and lockup. I wish more knives used the bolt-action lock, or had visually interesting carbon fiber like this. Falls freely with the lock disengaged, nice smooth action, perfect little cutter.
Spyderco Blue Nishijin Damascus Stretch - $175 net / $181.13 goods SOLD
Full album HERE
Lightly carried and used for one day when I was feeling fancy, with almost no visible signs of it aside from a few love lines on the presentation side of the blade. Comes with box and papers, locks up solidly, and is centered! Also, that handle is a thing a beauty, which is also why I cant bring myself to carry it again.
----
Add-on knives! These are not available individually because the shipping costs make it kind of a huge loss. Buy two or more, or in combination with any of the other knives I have for sale! If you would like one by itself, please add $5.25 to cover shipping.
SOG Access Card 2.0 - $35 net / $36.23 goods
Full album HERE
No box, no papers, carried and used by someone other than myself. I picked it up off eBay and havent carried it. I was going to send it off to SOG to have the blade replaced or worked on, but dicked around for a while and it just sat on my counter. Its really very nice, with a VG-10 blade, smooth pivot action, centered, absurdly slim and light, good lockup (not perfect, but really close), and the lock is very easy to manipulate. Ive priced it at 1/2 of retail to account for the unknown history and the tip having been sharpened in a way that makes it sweep up slightly instead of being a straight edge. Send this off to SOG and youll have a brand new really great knife for super cheap.
Cold Steel Kudu w/ Brass thumbstud - $10 net / $10.35 goods
Full album HERE
Uncarried and unused as far as I can remember. I got this the same day I got my Eland, and I like the Eland more because it almost took my thumb off one morning. I made a whole post about it and everything. Good times. Anyway, the thumbstud really makes this a great knife to carry and use, as you can fully operate it with one hand! The steel and lockup are great, its centered, and even comes with a box! Ill also include the baggie and tool for the thumbstud (which cost more than the knife )
- Please, only reasonable offers.
- All prices include USPS priority 2-day shipping with tracking. I ship quickly and package things well. Im just as - if not more - impatient and picky as you are.
- I do not accept personal checks or money orders. Paypal only, please.
- US only, please. Please check your local laws. 18 and older only.
- The first "I'll take it" followed by an email/PM gets it. Emails are far and away the most preferred method of communication.
For the sake of bandwidth and thread size, I have 1-2 pictures per knife and links to photobucket albums for each knife with more pictures, including centering and lockup shots.

Having confirmation that the SMF has the new lock geometry, I will take it per our PMs.
