From Drop:
“Custom knifemaker Eric Ochs is no stranger to the outdoors. A childhood spent in the Oregon countryside helped him learn the utility of a good knife in the field, which ignited a passion for making them himself. Our second collaboration with Ochs, the Lynx is a compact titanium liner lock with a premium RWL34 steel blade and a G-10 handle—the same materials found in the larger Orca folding knife. Measuring 6.9 inches long, the Lynx is far smaller than the Orca, but it has plenty of size for daily cutting tasks, like opening boxes, piercing through packaging, cutting food, and more. Opening the knife is smooth and easy, courtesy of the flipper tab, dual thumbstuds, and caged ceramic bearings. Rounding out the Lynx is a curved titanium pocket clip that mimics the contours of the handle, and matching anodized titanium liners and hardware.”
SPECS:
BNIB. This really is a nice solid knife, I just don’t use it so it needs to go. Never carried, only cut receipt paper and out for pics. Flips good but detent a little stiff for thumb studs, I’ve not even handled it enough to break it in.

The Lucas Burnley–designed Kwaiken is based on a short-range combat and household knife used in Ancient Japan. Shaped like a samurai sword—only shorter—it offers exceptional piercing power and slicing ability. Burnley originally gained recognition for his fixed-blade version of the Kwaiken, but decided to make it in the form of a folder in 2004. Since, it’s become one of the most popular knives in his, and the Boker, collection. The blade is deployed with the IKBS pivot system for smooth action, and it locks in place with a liner lock.
Not really looking for trades but will think about it . All I can say is no!

LNIB because I have carried it a couple times to the bar to show it off and flipped it. Only cut receipt paper. No marks or sign of handling that I can see. Factory edge. Centered. Excellent action. I may regret selling this one cuz I really like it, but I just don’t really use it. $160 PayPal G&S
