I gotta come up with bill money so its time to list these for sale. Prices are inclusive (no additional shipping or PayPal fee's) and shipping will be via USPS with tracking/insurance within a business day of payment received. Payment required within 24 hours. Both knives come in boxes. All prices are firm and the only trade I'm interested in is a ESEE Izula 2 w/ scales & belt clip for the BM.
Sage 1: $100, extremely smooth, the washers and liners where the washers touch is all polished. The spine is hand rounded and brought to a finish less grainy than factory but not "polished". The liners are polished and there is jimping cut on the lock bar (and polished over). The knife is very clean and looks great! Some faint scratching on the blade from amino all use but nothing the camera can pick up. Its hard to see in the pic's but on the spine at the very front of the thumb jimping there is a small "tombstone" section that's still flat like on a Sebenza, this is one of my favorite features so I wanted to point it out. Has been sharpened but not reprofiled, just touched up on a fine stone/stropped when needed.
*Note the depth of each cut of the lock bar jimping is the same depth, the different angles/light reflections make it appear the cuts further towards the tang are not as agressive:
Perfect centering and no blade play:
Benchmade 707 154CM: $100
I just traded into this, its got a jade G10 back spacer (original included) and its liners are also polished. I've got an old black thumb stud in it but I have its original satin studs I can swap back for you (you can't have both, I need the other one but you can have your choice).
Blade was just reprofiled at 18DPS and taken up to 2500 grit then stropped, as you can see its very sharp and highly refined. The blade does have a few scratches you can see in the pic's but they're all under the edge:
A small amount of ano is missing off the front of the scales front sharpening:
Are just slightly off center to the left (right in pic) but not rubbing. Tiny amount of side-to-side (typical Axis movement) and zero up&down play:
