Andre Thorburn L36S Flipper
F&F on this knife is out of this world. This gets thrown around a lot, but this is absolutely the smoothest flipper/folder available. Go watch Jim Skelton's video on Andre Thorburn and that will give you some idea. It's just unreal how smoothly this flips. You can't not flip it. As soon as it overcomes the detent, it's open. Lockup and detent are perfect. No blade play at all. Just a hair off center. Never carried or used. Like new condition except for the following minor cosmetic issues: Two small spots on butt of knife where anodization has rubbed off lockside liner, a little anodization wear on lockside liner at lock release point, a little rub mark/discoloration on spine of blade. More pics are available showing all of these.
$635 SOLD total for you. I pay USPS shipping, insurance, and PayPal fees. Knife is cross posted to other forums so first "I'll take it" by post timestamp in the thread gets it.

Seamus Knives (Jim Harrison) Author Framelock
Great little framelock. Reminds me very much of my Laconico Slim EDC that I used to have, although this Author is much sharper. It is in excellent condition, though it has been used and sharpened and there are a couple very slight hairline scratches on the blade. It came to me a little gritty so I broke it down and cleaned it and added CRK flourinated grease to the bearings and detent track. When I reassembled it I added a little blue loctite to the pivot screw. It is now oh so smooth. Lockup is very early and solid. No blade play. Centering is dead on. Great milled pocket clip.
