I have a Microtech 161A-5 Socom Elite T/E with an M390 partially serrated tanto blade for sale.
Asking $230. SOLD!
The knife is extremely sharp, fires reliably & hard and locks up properly every time. It has never been carried, sharpened or used to cut anything. However, it has been fired a couple of times each time on the few occasions that I have removed it from my safe for inspection. So, in this sense it is LNIB (not NIB) but you really wouldn't know the difference otherwise.
A very hard to find version of the knife. On the 1 site that found it currently in stock and available for sale, the listed retail price was $289.
I will consider a trade for NIB or LNIB autos or balisongs of comparable value; trade values to be negotiated. Will add cash if I want the knife bad enough to make the trade.
I also have a "bonus knife" worth about $25 that I will include for free to the buyer of this knife, if he wants it. Details will be provided to the buyer upon purchase.
-----------------------------------------------
Additional photos available on request by PM.
-----------------------------------------------
Only PayPal G&S payment accepted. The price includes all PayPal fees and shipping costs
-----------------------------------------------
I will normally ship by US Priority Mail but I reserve the right to ship by 1st Class Mail w/a signature required in order to insure that the delivery is received and not just left at the door.
-----------------------------------------------
If you don't have PM privileges, then just list your email address and state which knife you want to submit an offer for -- not the details of that offer -- and I'll contact you to discuss it.
-----------------------------------------------
I will consider any "reasonable" offers in cash or trade but please do not post any offers in the thread. Submit them by PM ONLY!
-----------------------------------------------
I will not respond to any "low ball" offers. There are not many other knives that I need/want but whatever is offered in trade must be new or LNIB.
-----------------------------------------------
The 1st person who unequivocally states "I'll take it" in the thread will have priority to buy the knife (or knives) specified but I reserve the right to refuse to sell to anyone with what I consider insufficient or unacceptable BF Knife Exchange trade history.
-----------------------------------------------
Anyone who buys a knife from me certifies that s/he is over 18 years old and is legally entitled to purchase and possess the knife in accordance w/the laws of his/her state of residence.
-----------------------------------------------
Thanks for looking!
