Spyderco Szabo $125 Net to me Shipped
Used lightly, and like new. I picked this up for a song and discovered it wasn't the knife for me - aside from being more than a full inch above the legal knife length limit of where I live, it's just not my style of folder. I wish it was, though - the blade shape is gorgeous and highly useful, the lightning strike carbon fiber is dazzling and I wish my camera could pick up the full effect. There is no box, and there is a little bit of cosmetic damage to the pocket clip (visible in the last picture) - other than that, the blade is hair-popping sharp (stropped, never sharpened), the lockup is absolutely rock solid in ways I've never known a compression lock to be, it's dead-nuts centered, and clean.
CRKT Swindle - Grooved, with Sandvik 12c27 $40 Net to me Shipped
Functionally perfect, cosmetically flawed - it's hair-popping sharp, has insanely fast and smooth deployment, it locks up with absolutely no play, has no edge damage (which is what happens when you only use a knife to trim your cuticles), and the pocket clip has just the right amount of retention.
However, it had the misfortune of being in my butt pocket when I crashed on my bike. As such, the lock-side pivot screw has some damage that does not interfere with adjustment - my T7 bit fits in there just as well as it did before. Other than that, it's in fantastic condition and comes with the box and papers.
