Spyderco ParaMilitary 2 DLC S30V

I’m the 2nd owner of this fine knife. Has been a safe queen for me. Carried it a couple times right after I got it, then put it away since I got into small pocketable fixed blades at the time. It’s in the same condition as it came to me. The following is from the original owner’s ad when I bought it.
◦ Handle - G10 is in like new condition, other than mark from moving the clip from tip down to a tip up carry.
◦ Blade - Some marks in the DLC on one side of the blade (photos included) as well as the spine (from the "rivet" in my jeans pocket). It has been sharpened on an Edge Pro. I put a satin finish on the secondary bevel, with a primary bevel brought to 6000 grit, then stropped. Very sharp!
◦ Pocket Clip - The clip is black with some edge wear (it's a painted clip from the factory). Clip was moved to tip up, right side carry.
◦ Lock-Up & Centering - Very solid with the compression lock. Tends to be a bit sticky with aggressive blade deployment. Much smoother when blade opened "normally" with your thumb. May need to break in more, as the lock face also has the DLC coating. No blade play. Slightly off-center (photo provided).
◦ Includes original box.

Emerson Gentleman Jim SF plain edge

It is a user, but in excellent condition. A previous owner had it sharpened to a traditional V-grind. Opens smoothly and the blade is centered. Per the guy I bought it from - “I find that of the 3 Emersons I have owned, this one has the absolute best action and lockup. Per the rest of the Emersons, if you flick it hard, or wave it open, the lock will stick, but with a controlled open, there is zero stick despite solid lockup”. I put some Sharpie ink on it and it doesn’t want to stick even when waved. The handle screws do not look “pristine” although they work fine, so I will include 4 new ones. Comes with the box. I bought this to see if I would like it and if I didn’t, I wouldn’t be out much when I sold it. Well, I can’t believe how much I enjoy this model, so I’m going to put the proceeds from this sale towards the purchase of a new one as I prefer having to only sharpen one side.

Asking $159.
