If you need more details/specs/pictures, just shoot me a message and I'll have them sent over. If you're interested, feel free to start a conversation or email me at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com. I try to check my threads fairly often so chances are I'll see your posts as well. If you just want a straightforward sale, let me know and we can have something worked out. Thanks for taking a look.

For trades, I'm looking for an: MSC XL Yeti, Jon Grahams, Yunas, Marlowes, Direwares, GTCs, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Rocksteads, Dalibors, Broadwells, Black Snow Customs, Phantom Steelworks, Kirby Lamberts, Jim Burkes, Ochs, Blackwoods, VanderMeulens, Jason Clarks, Rassentis, Demkos, some Shirogorovs, Grimsmos, Marfione MSG-3, DOC, ZT 0454, and maybe a custom Emerson or Striders in general but if you have other offers, I'm happy to hear them. Cash can be added either way.

1. Allen Elishewitz Silver Fox - near mint
Two-tone damasteel blade with 3.5" of cutting edge
The pattern shows on the edges and grinds, the flats have a hand satin
Scales are made from black G-10, silver twill carbon fiber, and layered blue twill carbon fiber
Custom pivot with polished pivot collars
Blade-to-handle ratio is nearly 1:1
Typical perfect Elishewitz fit and finish, all material transitions are seamless
Blade opens nicely if you pre-load the flipper, thumbstuds work great as well
Smooth action and locks with zero play
Centering favors the show side by just a hair but doesn't come close to rubbing

2. Brad Fairall Model 3 - near mint - Sold
Unique and very well built folder with 3.5" of cutting edge
S30V blade with a beautiful hand satin and a very high polish on the edges
The tip has a sort of micro-swedge that I haven't seen before, makes the blade come to a much more acute point
The finishes on the liners match the blade
Lockup is adjustable using the screw by the lock face
Contoured wood scales
Comes with an extra set of layered black and white G-10 scales with a wood inlay
Glass smooth action
The pivot seems to be a bit loose since there is some side-to-side play the centering slightly favors the show side
Comes with extra hardware

3. Warren Thomas Chaos - very good condition
Featherweight self-defense neck knife
Titanium blade with a carbon fiber laminate and carbide edge
4" of cutting edge on a hawkbill blade that cannot rust
The ti has Warren's signature anodizing
The finish has some wear from the kydex

4. Olamic Wayfarer - very good condition - Sold
Number W406
Full-sized 4" blade version, not the 247
2-tone blade with satin flats and mirror polished grinds
Says on the card that it was the first Wayfarer to be mirror polished
Void-free polished and contoured carbon fiber scales
Satin finished liners with interior jeweling and full backspacer
Tumbled clip
There are some fine scratches on the blade that I couldn't get on camera and there are some scuffs on the backspacer but nothing that can't be fixed with a quick trip back to Olamic
Very comfortable in hand, smooth action, tight lockup, and perfect centering
