If you have any questions about what's listed just let me know. For more details, specs, or pictures, ask and ye shall receive. You can reach me through private message or email. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. I can work with you on the price for some of these and I'm open to trades. Prices include all shipping and Paypal fees in the US. I'll be happy to ship international but the buyer will need pay via F&F, assume all risks, and cover the cost of shipping. Thanks for your time.
For trades, I'm looking for: Yunas, DireWares, GTC's, Southards, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Rocksteads, Greg Lightfoots, Neil Blackwoods, Phantom Steelworks, a Todd Begg Beggatti, Rassentis, a Demko AD15, Dervish Alchemy XL, Jon Graham folder, Grimsmos, and maybe a custom Emerson or Strider but if you have other offers, I'm happy to hear them. Cash can be added either way.
If you are planning to send me an email through the forum, please post on the thread as well to let me know. Some of those are lost in transit and never reach my mailbox.
1. Andre De Villiers Tac-Butcher - like new - $650
Two-tone blade with satin flats, mirror polished grinds, and a mirror polished fuller
Tri-tone handle with satin highs, blasted lows, and polished edges
Polished carbon fiber scale
All the hardware has been anodized a bronze purple
Has a few very faint handling marks but other than that, mint
Locks up tight with no play and centering is dead on
Action is smooth and responsive and it's designed to fit in the hand nicely
2. Jason Clark Kwaiken - good condition - $475
CTS-XHP blade
Gold-bronze anodized bolster, liner, lockside, and clip
Natural canvas micarta scale
Checkering on the top of the flipper and on the backspacer
This one has been carried and used. There is wear on the ano of the ti, especially on the bolster.
The blade has some light scratches and the edge could use a light touch-up.
You have to be careful when adjusting the pivot screw. It's close to being stripped but still works fine with the right sized bit.
Everything still functions perfectly and a trip back to Jason could have it like new
Feels great in hand
Blade sits dead center and there is zero up-and-down play
Action is extremely smooth and free, flips as fast as you want it to
3. Mikkel Willumsen Mansum - near mint - $310 --> Sold
Full custom from Mikkel
Hand rubbed satin 3.75" blade
Sculpted brown and black G-10 scale
There are a few light snail trails in the blasted ti
Solid lockup and smooth action
Centering slightly favors the presentation side but doesn't rub
4. Custom Knife Factory Sablya Relic One-Off - brand new in pouch - $750 --> Traded
This is a Sablya that CKF set aside specifically to be made into a one-off; it isn't a customized numbered Sablya
An incredible amount of work has been put into this one
"Relic" M390 blade; the more you look at it, the more you see
Carbon fiber inlays
Relic finished handle that transitions into an anodized and tumbled rock texture
Flamed body screws
Fast and responsive action; the blade flies open when you pull back on the flipper
Solid lockup and the blade drops freely
Blade sits dead center
Comes with all the paperwork and the padded pouch
5. Alan Folts One-Off Prototype - near mint - $650
Alan is known for making complete one-offs so I think this is the only one of it's kind
It is marked as a prototype on the inside of the liner
The bolstered scales feel seamless and the pattern on the front scale matches perfectly
The liners, pivot, and body screws are anodized purple
Handle is fairly thick so it gives you a very comfortable grip
Blade is thin so it slices like a champ
Runs on IKBS and the action reminds me of a Thorburn; you have to make a conscious effort to not have the blade fly open
There is a bit of up-and-down play
Centering is dead on
