ZT550...bought new 2012, lightly used, and carried. Still has the original edge, which is just under 3" after the choil..The edge has only cut an envelope or 2. I lightly sanded the scales with some 800 grit sandpaper so the G10 wasn't so aggressive. Started life as a Gen 1 and developed some lock rock early on so it was sent back to ZT for warranty work. Came back home as a Gen 2 with a new Ti lock, and low rider pocket clip. There is zero blade, lockup is around 50% and rock solid. It hasn't been carried or used since the return from ZT 12/12. No box, was never returned from ZT when I sent the knife in for warranty work. ***Traded***
Emerson CQC 14 snubby, coated plain edge blade. It has been used,(not abused) carried, and resharpened. It has mainly been used for opening boxes, cutting tape and stripping insulation off copper wire. It has a STR framelock conversion, (BTW STR doesn't do these anymore) and the wave feature has been removed. Lockup is ~30% and rock solid. This knife is a workhorse, and I know I'm going to regret parting with it, but it's just not getting the pocket time it deserves. It does not come with the original linerlock, and lock side scale.
Some trade interests:
