Please email me if you want the knife. I plan to go by email order rather than timestamps of posts in this thread because people can edit them, so email seems the most fair way

---Take $25 off the total if you buy more than one knife.
---All of these are the Paypal price (none of this +fees/use gift/etc.) to anywhere in the USA, shipped well packed in a box, not some envelope.
---None come with a box unless mentioned, and most have had tuffglide and nanolube applied.
---If you want any additional pictures, have a question, etc., please feel free to ask! Email or PM are both good.
--Feel free to make an offer if you don’t feel the price is fair.

Chris Reeve Umnumzaan S30v no lockbar stabilizer, anodized bronze with jeans blue clip
I bought this a few years ago. I think the previous owner scotchbrited the handles because they don't show trails like my other CRKs, but he didn't mention it when I bought it. I think it looks good with the antique style bronzed anodizing. Hasn't seen much use from me, love it just was bigger than I need every day. I did the clip blue to blend into jeans.

Love the look but just not my style of knife to carry, so it’s sat around a long time doing nothing. In very nice condition.

Benchmade 940 AXIS - 940-121 - CPM-M4 Blade - Carbon Fiber/Anodized Titanium Handle - GOLD CLASS
Handle was sent through a tumbler with walnut shells and Turtle Wax to lightly polish off the green, after which it was anodized blue to better match the carbon fiber. There is some slight oxidizing where it has writing, especially where it says “CPM-M4” on the blade, and the clip, being that shiny type, has become spotted (free from BM for a new one anyway). Also slight oxidization on flat side of the pivot.

REI Griptilian in green/black g10 and s30v $130 SPF
REI Benchmade Griptilian in green/black g10 and s30v
Sharpened but never carried because I don't like the extra weight over the standard plastic handles. It did pick up two light scratches towards the tip during sharpening. I tried to take pictures to show it in the worst light possible, but they're really pretty light.

Handle was died blue and then hti with a scotchbrite pad to look old. Blade was oxidized then stonewashed~ came out really nice in my opinion. Pivot area was not oxidized and has original finish.

Military Carbon Fiber M390 Sprint
Sharpened once but not carried more than a week. Clip has oxidizing but no red rust. Screws were replaced by T8 (over the easily-stripped T6), and backspacer replaced with spacers. In very good condition. There are a couple spots on the blade, probably would come off with a bit of polish, but I didn’t want to mess with it.

ZT 0560 + Orange Scale $130 SOLD
ZT 0560
Modded in a few ways. Blade has a heavy stonewash that does a really nice job covering scratches and isn’t shiny. Handle was anodized Green. There are a few scuffs on the anodizing, but it’s in very good shape. Clip has some scrapes, but they’re free from Kershaw if it bothers you. Lockbar was carbidized. Also comes with an orange scale with the same grip pattern as the original. Wasn’t carried more than a couple times, just played with mostly, though the lockup is right at 50%.

This is my personal use Gayle Bradley. I oxidized the blade black and modified the handle to show more of the lock. After cutting it down, I hit it with a buffer to put the factory finish back on it. Also hit the spine where your thumb goes with a carbidizer to get rid of some of the slickness

Sharpened once when I got it. The streaks you see on the blade are from tuff-glide. Never carried. There is a shiny part on the back corner. I have no idea how it got there; may have came that way. I bought it from a store so know it wasn’t from use.

Manix2XL $75
Manix2XL[color]
This is my personal use knife. The thing that kept me from carrying it was the clip. First I drilled and tapped the handle in order to mount the clip higher up. I didn’t like how it felt in hand so filled in the holes with putty (see pictures) and got a clip from STR. Also this was from an early run, before they came out with the black blade version, so I oxidized the blade and screws myself to get rid of the shininess (didn’t do the pivot, so it’s still nice and smooth). It’s a good user knife.

I will take the Kershaw ET, Spyderco M4 Mil g10 / Ti, and Manix 2 LW S110V. Also, waiting on PM response re: CRKs. Thanks.
 
So far fq55 has the Leafstorm. I'm going through everyone else one by one. I will surely get to everyone tonight, but since this will take a bit of time, don't feel the need to stay one; you're locked in for a day for any knife you say you want.

ooitzoo, I will PM you in a second. I haven't received either of your PMs, and I remember you posting in my previous thread.
