I've got three knives and a balisong trainer for sale today, with close-up pics from all angles in the album below. 
Microtech SOCOM Elite - SOLD (was $275) - Carried, used sparingly. Manual action, M390 blade steel, clip point, plain blade, 2018 manufacture. Original factory edge is still laser-sharp. Solid lock-up. Please note this knife is not pristine, it has been carried. There's one chip near where one the blade stops seats when open, and signs of cosmetic wear throughout: light scuffs, logo on the clip has faded somewhat, a few microscopic spots where anodization has worn off, and two factory marks in the anodization (common to all SOCOM Elites to one degree or another), all shown in the pics. These sell for $289 new, and are perpetually sold out. Original owner. No box, just the knife.
You won't mistake this for a NIB knife, but it's in excellent condition overall. I've tried to make it look as bad as possible in the close-up pics. I know SOCOM Elites can go for silly money these days, but that's not how I roll. Buy this one to put in your pocket, and you'll be delighted.
Emerson Elvia - SOLD (was $235) - Carried twice, never used to cut. Razor-sharp factory edge, solid lock-up. If you really look for it you can see light wear on the pocket clip screw finish from where I swapped the clip, but apart from that this is essentially new. Perfect example of an Emerson. Sells for $278.95 new. Original owner. Includes box.
Emerson CQC-7BW - SOLD (was $150) - Carried, used sparingly. Great action, razor-sharp factory edge, solid lock-up. Apart from maybe a hint of surface wear on the pivot screw, this could pass for new. Perfect example of an Emerson. Sells for $212.95 new. Original owner. Includes box.
Svix Zephyr V4.5 balisong trainer - relisted - Has been flipped, but only over carpet. Best trainer I've ever used. 7075 aluminum handles, heat treated 440C blade, zen pins, bushing pivots. Superb construction, materials, and fit and finish. There are a couple minuscule spots where the anodization has worn off (impossible to pick up on camera), but otherwise this looks new. Sells for $195 new. Original owner. Includes box.
I also have a Sneak Reaper clip and two Gray Precision monster thumb disks that would go great with the Emersons. You can find them in their own thread in Gadgets & Gear:

PayPal only, "Goods and Services" only, US only (and no proxy shipping), no trades. I'm covering USPS shipping and PayPal fees. Please ask questions via PM or profile post.
The first "I'll take it" in this thread followed by a PM (or post on my profile, if you can't send PMs) gets dibs. (Questions, "I'll take it if," and the like aren't the same as claiming a knife.) If I haven't seen your PM/profile post within an hour, I'll assume you changed your mind and the knife will be available to others.
Buyer affirms they're legally permitted to own what they buy. I reserve the right to do business with whomever I choose. Thanks for looking!
