I have 10 knives for sale today, with a full photo gallery following the descriptions. 
All knives include the original box. Unless noted, I'm the original owner.
Benchmade Mini Adamas - SOLD (was $185) - Flawless action, flicks open, drops shut, free-swinging; solid lockup. Looks like new, and it's a gorgeous hunk of CPM-CruWear. Carried once or twice, never used. Bought new in sealed box from the first owner. Sells for $212 new, and is perpetually out of stock.
Spyderco Manix 2, Cutlery Shoppe exclusive M390 and DLC - withdrawn and relisted - I've owned a few Manix 2s, and this has the best action of any of them; flicks open, drops shut, solid lockup. Carried a few times, rarely used. Includes 5x5 Pickpocket, which is a fantastic wave opener; easily removed with the included tools. It's possible that there's a minuscule mark in the DLC from the attachment points, but I doubt it (Spyderco DLC is tough stuff!). Second owner. No longer available (Cutlery Shoppe says next run is 2022).
Spyderco Yojimbo 2 - withdrawn and relisted - Great action, flicks open, drops shut, solid lockup. This is the latest DLC version, 100% blacked-out and with subtler colors for the blade etches. There's a small Loctite stain on the G10 by the pivot (from me). Carried and used sparingly, almost looks new. Sells for $185 new.
WE Snecx Mini Buster - SOLD (was $175) - The HDPS (hybrid detent pin system) gives this knife a unique sound and feel, and the action is truly incredible. Its superb blade to handle ratio, fit, finish, weight (lots of internal milling), and materials make this a deeply satisfying knife to handle and use. Solid lockup. The first owner puts a few very small nicks and dings in it (shown in photos); very good used condition, and priced accordingly. Includes two unused pocket clips. Second owner. Sells for $289 new, if you can find one.
Fox 479 Karambit - SOLD (was $85) - N690 steel, carbon fiber/G10 handle. Unlike the textured G10 versions, this one is smooth and easy to pocket and draw. Solid lockup. Carried a couple times, but never used. Tiny spot near the opening hole on the clip side where the blade coating has worn off. Sells for $125 new.
Benchmade Presidio II - withdrawn and relisted - One of the best values in Benchmade's lineup. Drops shut, amazing action, solid lockup. Could easily pass for new. Carried a couple times, never used. Sells for $140 new.
Zero Tolerance 0462 - SOLD (was $220) - Could easily pass for new. Some of the best action I've felt on a ZT, glides shut like a ghost. Solid lockup. Flawless carbon fiber, and the milling and contouring on the Ti side rival my Shirogorov NeOn. Carried a couple times, cut with once or twice. Sells for $260 new.
Zero Tolerance 0640 - SOLD (was $250) - One of ZT's best, especially with the Sharp Dressed Knives micarta scales/overlays and Gray Precision thumb disk installed on this one. Fast, smooth action; can be slow-rolled, flicked, and even front-flipped open. Solid lockup. Mostly handled at my desk, rarely carried or used. Original carbon fiber scales and thumb disk included (unused; I immediately installed the new parts). Purchased new for $347 ($248 knife, $69 scales, $30 thumb disk).
SOG Seal XR - SOLD (was $145) - If you've skipped SOGs over the past few years, the brand has greatly improved; this knife is part of their flagship American-made line, and it's fantastic. The XR lock is the equal of the Axis or Able lock, but has a stronger detent; consequently, it flips like lightning. Drops shut, super fidgety -- and a real big, unapologetic beast of a knife. If you muscle it, there is a minuscule amount of front-to-back blade play (also true of many Benchmades, in my experience). Sells for $190 new.
Cold Steel Ti-Lite VI - withdrawn and relisted - Not the budget Zytel version, this is the S35VN beast with aluminum scales. Razor sharp, flicks open with authority and closes with a wiggle. Solid lockup. Two spots on the show side of the handle where the anodization is beginning to wear off (from setting it on my desk). Mainly handled at my desk, never used. Sells for $126 new.
Knives are in the same order in this photo gallery, which shows close-ups of both sides, centering, and lockup (as applicable), all with captions; please excuse any spots, they are just dust.
PayPal only, "Goods and Services" only, US only (and no proxy shipping), no trades. I'm covering USPS shipping and PayPal fees. Questions welcome via PM or profile post.
The first "I'll take it" in this thread followed by a PM (or post on my profile, if you can't send PMs) gets dibs. (Questions, "I'll take it if," and the like aren't the same as claiming a knife.) If I haven't seen your PM/profile post 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. I reserve the right to do business with whomever I choose. Thanks for looking!
