Zero Tolerance 0452 - $SOLD (170) - Carried a couple times, cut a couple times, flipped a bunch on the couch, lubed the detent ball with Nano-Oil. The only sign of use I can find is a tiny ding in the blade spine, too small to even photograph. Incredible action: rockets open, almost drops shut (just need a slight wiggle), zero blade play. Perfect detent, lockup about 25%, centering looks maybe a hair to the clip side to me, a really nice example of an 0452. Includes the box. Purchased new from BladeHQ for $220.
Emerson CQC-7V with scale swap - $SOLD (115) - Carried and used, shows signs of use but is in overall good condition. Sent it to a professional sharpener (T.L.E. Sharpening) for a fresh edge and haven't used it since. Smooth action, zero blade play, lockup is around 65% and hasn't moved since I bought it. Centering favors the clip side but doesn't rub, Emerson graphic on the blade is a bit faint in a couple spots. Has had a scale swap from the stock desert tan G10 to black G10 from another CQC-7, with the correct-length screws used for the new scales. (I much prefer the black as they don't pick up blue dye from jeans like the tan ones do.) No box, don't have the original scales. A new CQC-7V runs $231.
PayPal only, "Goods and Services" only, continental US only. I'm covering USPS shipping and the PayPal fee. No trades. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
The first "I'll take it" in this thread followed by a PM gets dibs. (Questions, "I might be interested if," and the like aren't the same as claiming a knife.) If I haven't seen your PM 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.
Thanks for looking!
