A.G. Russell Acies 2, Catch & Release, too small for my 2xl mitts. Just got this purchase for asking price from:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/emerson-a-100-and-an-a-g-russell-acies-acies-is-sold.1734725/

Condition is used, appears to be factory edge. Lockup is good, action is good, detent is good. To my eye it appears very slightly off center. A couple light scratches on lockside of blade which are only visible at a specific angle which I was not able to capture. Pocket clip shows signs of carry.

SOLD ELSEWHERE
Spyderco Fluted ti Military I'd say LNIB no signs of use or carry I can find
SOLD

Quiet Carry Waypoint bead blasted ti satin blade couple very slight carry marks which I was not able to capture in pics Centered, smooth action. appears to not have been sharpened.
SOLD

Montery Bay Knives (MBK) VLD Bought new, very nice action, nearly free drop which will probably break in to free drop, very smooth free drop. Fit & Finish is very good except the blade, not bad but not great for the $$$ My price reflects this. Otherwise a pretty sweet knife! The action reminds of the Skaha II even sounds very similar with the double click deploy. Fairly unique sound I did not take it apart but thinking it might use same detent system. Very fidget friendly.

Has not been carried or sharpened, as received.
$OLD

I've marked it pending until noon, you can email me at the email posted in original post.
 
What wasn't great about the MBK VLD blade? Not a great edge? Hard to tell exactly from the photos what was wrong.
 
edge and grind are fine, milky looking spots on blade, it essentially looked used straight out of the pouch. Cosmetic issues nothing more, this is a new $200 knife which has only been minimally, and carefully handled. Not terribly expensive, but not a budget knife. Maybe I expect too much, but I've got $20 knives with flawless blade finishes. Maybe I'll do a hand rub, or stonewash on it.

I'm probably over reacting, I really like the knife, well done in every respect except blade finish! The last picture where you see a line just below the flat which kind of looks like a smear is not a smear. All the other irregular marks in the photos are blems in the finish. Keep in mind the knife has not been used or carried.
