I've just taken shots of areas I want you to see---overal views, specific scratches/marks or what the bevels look like if they're no longer factory. Final shots are always the centering of the blades. I will happily take more detailed pictures of anything you like, from any angle you like, and email them to you. If you want more than one, I'll deduct $10 per knife added given my savings in shipping.
Please post "I'll take it" here on the thread for anything you want, in addition to PMing or emailing me through the forum, that way there's no doubt as to who was first. Also, please do NOT say "I'll take it" and then send me a PM negotiating on price. If you say you'll take it, you're agreeing to the asking price. Prices include shipping and insurance. Payment by paypal (I'll eat the fees) or USPS money order, please. I'll happily ship anywhere in the US. For international sales, we can figure out additional shipping costs, but check your local laws before you order and I cannot be held responsible for what happens to the knife once it leaves these shores, nor will I lie on the customs form about what's in the box. Many countries have a limit in terms of how much USPS will insure packages--I probably can't insure the knife for the entire value internationally.
If you do not get an immediate response from me, do not panic!
Pretty much exactly because they don't want us screwing around and doing personal stuff on the internet, my work blocks Bladeforums (along with anything else fun) and I seldom have time to look at email during the day anyway. As such, I take care of things in the evenings when I get home. If you were first to say you'll take something on the thread, rest assured you'll be getting a response that evening.
Brief word on condition---Please carefully inspect knives upon receiving them. I try to be absolutely meticulous about finding flaws on anything I sell and making them known to prospective buyers, but if I miss something (it's happened) please let me know immediately, and we can talk about either an adjustment to the price if you still want it, or a complete refund in addition to me covering the return shipping. My reputation is important to me, and I'll never try to slip anything by you.
Here we go!
Spyderco Manix C95---Original version with backlock and S30V I carried this knife (and the smaller version below) off an on in my college days, but seldom used it on anything since both of them were completely illegal (from a blade length point of view) on campus. This one has two extremely light scratches on the "Golden Colorado" side towards the tip. On the other side, mid blade, there are more notable scratches, obviously where I was sawing through something, though there are no corresponding scratches on the other side. Even so, I had to get a shadow lined up right for you to see them clearly, the following picture shows them again in direct light and you can see that they're very shallow. I also took some pictures of the inside of the knife, showing the heat coloring (blue, purple and red) of the liners, lock bar and tang of the knife, where it wasn't polished off after manufacturing. Wear on pocket clip. Edge has been resharpened--this was during my loaded-strop days, so its a polished convex. If you'd like it set to a specific angle, I can do so for an additional $15. No box $110
ZT 0562---ELMAX with G10. Uneven factory edge was reprofiled to (if I remember right) 16 per side and a 20 degree microbevel. Carried a few times, but the 801 feels better in my hand. Picture included of minor marks on pocket clip and POSSIBLE marks on titanium side of handle; I say possible because this was a stonewash finish and they very well could just be factory marks, but I included them so you could see. No box $140 NOW $130 SPF
