• Since all that is out of the way......

Item 1: Zero Tolerance 0566

• Price: $135 SOLD
• Price: $135 SOLD (added since bold/red is not showing up in Tapatalk)
• I'm only selling this because I have two of them.
• This one is a light user. I bought it new, installed an orange Allen Putman scale then installed the blue one that is currently on the knife. I have carried it a little in an EDC bag and probably used it to open a few plastic bags.
• I see no issues with the blade. Seems factory sharp with no dings, rolls, etc.
• The only signs of use are some lint and a few places on the black pocket clip with silver showing through.
• The blade is a little off-center towards the lock side but does not rub. My other 0566 is the same way.
• Lockup is solid but a bit early.
• Includes: Box in good shape, paperwork, factory black G10 scale, Putman blue G10 scale

Item 2: Cold Steel AK-47 OD Green

• Price: $80 SOLD
• Price: $80 SOLD (added since bold/red is not showing up in Tapatalk)
• I bought this one used. I haven't carried it but there are some marks on it. The thumb plate has some silver showing through in a few spots as does the pocket clip. There is a tiny silver dot on the very tip of the pointed pommel.
• The previous owner sanded the G10 on the left scale under the clip to reduce pocket wear. Should be visible in the photo.
• The blade finish is very nice and I see no marks or defects other than fingerprints. The edge grind is nice too. There are no chip, dings, rolls, etc. on the edge and it looks unused.
• Lockup is very solid.
• The blade favors the non-clip side slightly when closed but it's difficult to capture with the pommel overhanging the tip.
• Includes: Box with a few dent/dings, left & right pocket clips with extra screws

Item 3: Benchmade 550SBK Large Griptilian

• Price: $70 SOLD
• Price: $70 SOLD (added since bold/red is not showing up in Tapatalk)
• I bought this one used and it has some signs of use, mostly on the pocket clip which you can see in the photos, but expect some light marks, dings, and such.
• The scales look pretty good. There are a few small dents in the plastic on the edge between the pivot and blade.
• The blade looks pretty good too but there is some light coating wear in a few spots. The plain edge looks like it has seen some use but there are no serious dings, rolls, or chips. I can feel a few rough spots with my fingernail. The serrated portion looks almost unused except for some rough spots in the first scallop where the plain edge starts.
• Lockup on this one is solid with a little side-to-side play but I haven't messed with the pivot to optimize it.
• Centering when closed favors the clip side but does not touch the scale.
• I don't know who did the Navy lasermark.
• I do not have the original box. It will ship in a Benchmade grey warranty box.

Item 4: Benchmade 275 Adamas

• Price: $150 SOLD
• Price: $150 SOLD (added since bold/red is not showing up in Tapatalk)
• I bought this one LNIB and it has stayed that way.
• I did send it to Benchmade because it had the older scales that were painted tan. They replaced them with dyed G10 under warranty.
• There's really nothing that would distinquish from a new one. You can see some marks in the black blade finish on the edges but new ones will have that.
• Of my ~45 Benchmades this is probably the best example overall of fit/finish, blade centering, action, etc. A great knife. I'm only selling it because I have a well used duplicate that I carry and don't need two.
• It includes the original box, papers, and sheath. If there was a plastic MOLLE attachment for the sheath originally I don't have that.

Item 5: Brous Silent Solider Flipper G10 #548/1000

• Price: $215 SOLD
• Price: $215 SOLD (added since bold/red is not showing up in Tapatalk)
• This one is a light user. I have carried it for a few weeks and used it to open some packages. There are some signs of use including some light marks/scratches on the blade. They are fine enough that capturing them in photos would be difficult. Most of what you're seeing on the blade in photos is fingerprint smudges.
• The edge is in excellent shape with no chips, rolls, dings, etc. I have lightly run it along my Sharpmaker ultra fine stones at the 40 degree setting just to refine the edge a bit.
• Overall it's in very good condition.
• This is another duplicate or I wouldn't sell it. It's a really neat knife. The G10 version is discontinued.
• Note: The knives must be flipped with a "push button" style. A "light switch" method on the flipper will not open them. I just wanted to give a heads up so a buyer doesn't think they got a defective knife.
• It includes the original box but I don't have the certificate with it.

Item 6: Hogue EX-04

• Price: $165 SOLD
• Price: $165 SOLD (added since bold/red is not showing up in Tapatalk)
• This one is uncarried, LNIB. The only marks that stand out to me are some faint areas of silver in the black coating on edges of the pocket clip and blade.
• It includes the original box but I don't have the certificate with it.

Benchmade 275 Adamas

If you don't mind me asking, how were you able to tell if the handle scales were painted and not dyed?
Did they paint the black version also?
Thank You

The tan paint on earlier versions of the Benchmade 275 Adamas comes off very easily. On the knife in the ad I found one tiny spot where black showed through so I sent it in to get the dyed scales since they replace them under warranty. I doubt they painted the black ones but I really don't know for sure. I'm guessing they were dyed. I also sent my well-used Adamas in to get its scales replaced. You can see before and after photos below.
