USER/EDC Spyderco Paramilitary 2 BentoBoxShop Sprint M390

This knife was my EDC for months. It has normal wear and tear that comes with using a knife daily. I chipped the blade a while back, and the tip has been a little off ever since. I've sharpened it on the Sharpmaker, and put a decent polish on the edge. One bevel is slightly larger than the other because I had to remove quite a bit of steel to remove the chip. As I said before, the tip isn't what it used to be, but it's still functional. I've included a picture to show what I mean, and in all honesty, the picture makes it looks a lot worse than it is. I could probably sharpen it out, but I'm not 100% confident, so I'm not going to attempt it.

The blade is slightly off center, but there is no risk of rubbing the liners. The lock-up is pretty solid. There is slight side-to-side blade play if you really force it, as is the case with almost all knives, but if you tighten the pivot up, it goes away. I like to be able to open my PM2's using only the compression lock and a flick, so I've adjusted it to suit me. If you tighten down the pivot, the play is gone, but the smoothness suffers, and likewise if you loosen it up a bit more, it swings freely, but there is a little more play added, as with most knives.

The original scales are INCLUDED, but they are pretty broken in(g10 not as gripply), and faded(smurf blue to light blue). I have cleaned them as best as I could, so they won't show up looking like they did when I removed them from the knife. They are still perfectly useable however, just not new or anything. So please don't expect them to show up in mint condition.The custom scales are less than a month old. They are like new. The scales are smooth where there aren't bubbles, and grippy where there are. It's a weird feeling in hand, but you get used to it. The grip is where you need it, and smooth where you don't. The back-spacer also provides additional grip, and some added heft. Please be aware that the scales are drilled for right hand tip-up only. This is my preference, and the scales were made for me. Knife will ship USPS Priority with insurance to anywhere in the CONT US.

I don't really want to take it apart unless I absolutely have to, so I'd like to wait and see if anyone is interested in buying both together. If I do have to split it up, it would be $225 shipped for the knife and $125 shipped for the scales.
