An art investor once said, "Always buy art that you like, and not art solely for investment. If you buy art that you like and your art appreciates financially, then you have an appreciating asset that you like. If the art depreciates financially, well, at least you have art that you like, even if it's not worth more money than when you purchased it". That's my philosophy with knives like this; I buy only the ones that I really like - if they appreciate, I sell my duplicates and take some $ off the table. If they don't appreciate in value, then at least I still have something that I like. This is a really in demand and desirable knife; you don't see many of these in nice condition being offered in a NO-RESERVE AUCTION.
This semi-custom style knife from ZT is a knife that is equally at home in your house, in the office, in a knife museum, or in the field. It's a folder that you can open smoothly and quickly. It is an excellent Everyday Carry (EDC) design and will astonish you with its size, fit, and finish, proudly manufactured to extremely precise tolerances. It's a beautiful and classy knife that won't trigger alarm bells at a business setting or at a formal event.
As "real knife people" know, Zero Tolerance builds some of the world's most interesting, functional and high-quality knives. They have made some very innovative and durable designs. This particular knife is quite interesting, easy and comfortable to use while still holding the proud status of "workhorse". If you pick this knife up, you'll quickly choose it as one of your favorites. It's easy to believe that the knife could survive to serve several generations. And while it's tough enough to use, it's also attractive enough to display.
This knife has a presence that is hard to derive from the photos. The compact size reduces the weight dramatically, and creates a really classy appearance. You must hold it in your hot little hands to believe it how good it feels.
This knife is in excellent condition. It's just like buying it yourself from ZT. Guaranteed authentic and unused, except for showing it off in the store. See the pictures and video for more detail.
Kept in a climate-controlled, smoke free environment. The pictures and video show exactly what you are getting. And it also has a lifetime guarantee for quality from Zero Tolerance.
This is being sold at no reserve, so one fortunate bidder will get this knife. It might as well be you! And speaking of the knife, it's a really beautiful piece, and the blade is up to any task you send its way if you decide to do EDC. And it is a great EDC, given its small size and low weight. Again, it's also not likely to scare anyone in an office environment or at a formal event, as it is a true "gentleman's folder".
I will pack this carefully to protect it before mailing it to your address via USPS. Ask anyone who has done business with me about how well I pack these knives up. Or better yet, just read the feedback from my numerous repeat customers. Incidentally, I will combine shipments to save shipping costs if you purchase multiple items.
Please contact me to ask any questions you might have and thanks for your interest. I'm not a knife dealer; I'm just an enthusiast who is thinning out his collection. Bid without worry - check out my 100% feedback in my eBay profile. And note that many folks buy from me more than once. Keep your eyes open as I will be selling several duplicates in my collection over the coming weeks, most of which are limited and special editions. So, if you bid, be prepared to own the item.
US-based shipping only. Buyer must pay within 2 days of the auction ending or the auction will be canceled and re-run, and buyer will then not be allowed to bid in future auctions. I hate to sound hard-nosed, but while the eBay community has great buyers (and sellers), it also has a few not-so-great buyers and sellers. My goal is to make this a special transaction for you, from beginning to end.
In the event of any conflicts within the description, please use the photos and video as your guide here, as these are actual video and photos of the knife itself. There are no stock photos - ALL photos and video are of the actual knife. Every effort is made to be accurate in the description, but good faith errors happen. Nevertheless, feel free to ask any questions that you may have BEFORE bidding.
One comment on an unfortunate trend I have seen on eBay lately. Occasionally, bidders will bid up an item, and then "retract" their bid because they put in the "wrong amount". I'm not sure why people do this, but it's disruptive. Please do not bid unless you intend to purchase the items; if you bid the item up and retract your bid, I will block you from bidding on any future items. I don't want to sound like a jerk, but this action inconveniences the other bidders and me. So please don't bid unless you mean it!
NOTE: As the purchaser, it is your responsibility to be familiar with your local laws around knife blade length and other factors.
Thanks again for your interest!
