Inventory Reduction time. Three amazing knives, selling primarily as I face yet another cervical spine surgery and my arms are growing weaker by the day.
Trades unlikely, but possible ONLY if under 7.75 inches open. Wish list: Shirogorov small ones (Neon, CD NL, Hation variants), Phillipe Jourget P'Ti flipper, small Rassenti, Koenig Goblin, CK (Christensen Knifeworks).
Prices listed are obro and include shipping in the USA (but hopefully net to me, also negotiable).
BEST contact is erniefranz AT msn.com

1. Jens Anso Orso - uncarried, unused - only admired and gawked at. Kobalt anodized finish, blue screws throughout. Black Timascus Inlay, Backspacer, Pivot Collars AND Clip. Damasteel Blade lightly etched. All boxes, papers, COA, Anso leather/fabric pouch. My R hand is now weak enough I cannot longer flip this (Ugh), though could without difficulty 3 weeks ago.
Traded....

2. Tim Curry FAF Persian Variant - rarely carried, and then in a leather pouch, has opened a few envelopes. There are a couple of incredibly fine rubs to the blade and Timascus scale. Takefu VG10 core blade AND clip. Black Timascus Scale and floating backspacer. Sharp and centered. Smooth action. Gorgeous scales - almost no purple at all, very blue. Lockside is a nice Blue Anodized matte finish. COA, sticker and basic pouch. Includes a Black Timascus bead ($100). Asking $950

3. Jim Burke Rebel Prototype - which I purchased some time ago from Recon1. Stonewashed scales with smooth seamless carbon fiber insert. Blue hardware throughout.
Amazing etched Hakkapella Damasteel blade edge is 2 and 15/16 long. OAL open is 7 and 1/8 inches.
3.00 oz on my digital scale. JB logo in the diamond on the blade show side. Comes with no COA, simply a zip case.
Recurve blade which could use resharpening imo, though honestly it has only ever been used to open envelopes and cut some tape on boxes - nothing more.
Signs of carry, but given the blade and materials is close to as I purchased it from Recon1 - no issues.
Asking $1200
