I am finally getting around to putting a bunch of my folders up for sale. All are used, most have very little wear (a dishonest seller could call like new). All have little to no play, and all locks are solid (I don't keep faulty locks). Cash is king, but I am open to trades if they are not serrated and are folders. I am also open to offers, but will refuse any terrible offers (lowballs, bad trades, etc). I can only take money orders or checks, no PayPal. Obviously I will ship when payment clears. All prices include priority shipping. I reserve the right to refuse a sale at any time. Know your local laws before you buy a knife.
TRADED First up is my Spyderco Paramilitary 2. It is a user, with multiple superficial scratches on the blade, clip marks on both handle scales, screws show wear from being taken apart for cleaning (no stripped screws), and the clip has moderate wear. The action is buttery smooth, but there is a small amount of play in all directions (common for the model). Lock cannot be forced to slip even a little. Blade was sharpened by me to a very even and sharp edge, honestly one of my best jobs. Polished to near mirror. The knife comes with a custom geared acrylic backspacer, kind of a metallic skin tone color. The spacer has tolerances just a hair off, it rattles unless the lanyard tube is greased (it is currently greased). Carried it for weeks before I noticed the rattle, so it is quite minor. I have the box somewhere, if it doesn't turn up before a sale I will knock a little off the price. Price is $110 shipped.
Second is my Benchmade 581 Barrage. I just fell out of love with the Axis Assist system. Blade shows a few superficial scratches, mostly hidden by the stonewash unless you see them in the right light. I cannot find any wear on the scales or bolsters. Action is perfect, nice hard kick and no lock stick (I have seen this in many Barrages), but standard for the Axis lock there is a small amount of play. Zero lock slip. Blade has a nice, even, sharp edge, near mirror polish. I do have the box. Price is $160 shipped.
Third is my Zero Tolerance 566. Barely carried since replaced by ZT (old one had a detent issue). This one flips flawlessly as a manual. I took the torsion bar out and lost it, but it is far better manual (Kershaw will send a new one for free). The detent has a tiny insignificant amount of play closed, but the detent is perfect. There is a little lateral play, adjusted for flipping action. Blade was resharpened to a far better than factory edge, moderate polish. Aside from new edge, torsion bar being removed, and admitting to carrying it, the knife could pass as like new. I cannot find a single mark. I also have an orange frag scale that can be sold with or separate, milled for torsion bar and fits great, but no lefty drilling. I have the box. Price is $120 shipped for the knife, $40 shipped for the scale. $160 shipped for both.
Fourth is my HK Conspiracy folder. 9cr blade, titanium lock, awesome texture G10 scale. Flips excellently, and have the factory edge, still very sharp. Lockup is solid, but there is a modicum of lateral play. There are a few tiny snail trails on the lock side, one speck of missing paint on the clip, and a small rub on the blade coating. The action of the knife is superb for a cheap folder. I have the box. Price is $50 shipped.
SOLD Next up is my Lionsteel SR2A. Not much to say, action is perfect, no visible wear (the knife has been carried a lot, it doesn't show). Blade was sharpened by our own TLE Sharpening, and he rocked it. Mirror edge, I believe he told me 40° inclusive. Hell of a knife for the price. I have the box. Price is $130 shipped.
Next up is my SOG Twitch 2. Nice little knife, fun to open. There is a deep scratch on the handle and pivot, not sure how it got there. No other wear. The knife has a little play in all directions, but no lock slip. No box. Price is $20 shipped first class (too expensive for priority).
SOLD Next up is my rare Kershaw 1993-2 made in Japan. One scale has deep gouges in it, looks like it got attacked by an angle grinder. Scratches on the spine of the blade, but very little wear on the grinds. No play, smooth opening. Bought used, no sheath, but will include a Buck sheath that fits it. Buy as a user, not a collector, it's still a VG-10 traditional lockback! Price is $50 shipped.
Next up is the CRKT My Tighe. Larger model. Cool mechanism, and great flipping action, but not lefty friendly and recurved. No play, solid lockup, sharp factory edge. Minor wear on handle, none visible on blade. Blade centering is off, nearly rubbing. No box. Price is $50 shipped.
Next is the Kizer Vanguard Sovereign. Great flipping action, sharp albeit less than perfect edge. There is next to no visible wear, but the knife has been carried a lot. I have the box. Price is $60 shipped.
Last is my Kershaw BDZ-1 Blur. Black handle, tanto blade. Action is great as a manual, but I may have lost the torsion bar. No marks on the handle or blade. Blade was sharpened to a stupid sharp edge in no time, carried a bit since then, but it looks new. I have the box. Price is $50 shipped.
