Still Available is a Pacific Cutlery Custom, with Ivory Micarta inserts and a Utility blade profile.


This one comes in Excellent shape, with all the pins firmly in place, only under a super close up can you even see the outline of one of the pin on one side. There are no major scratches anywhere on the handles and just some light spiderweb size scratches on a couple of spots.

The blade has had the edge polished, but is doesnt appear to have been reprofiled or heavily rehsharpened ever. The tip is still perfect, and the edge is razor sharp. The lock up is insanely nice, like its never been locked closed or open. I keep it unlatched when stored. The tang cups have no wear, and there is no more play in the handles than from when it was new.

There are a couple of black marks on the Micarta handles, and when consulting with Dwayne Wiekum of EDC Knives, he told me this is a common problem for Ivory Micarta PCC's. The dye from the nylon sheath over time bleeds onto the laquer for the micarta, and can be removed by lightly buffing it away, I just have never taken the time to do so.....

This is a great knife, and I hoped to never have to part with it, but again, I am not one to just look at a knife, and it should spend the rest of its life in a nice collection somewhere.

I have many more pictures if you'd like, just let me know.

Again the asking price on this one is $600, MO or Paypal (I cover fees). It will be shipped Priority with full insurance.

I am open to trades/partial trades..... I am interested in Microtech LCC's at the moment, and I have been looking for a cool folder as well, custom or high end production. I am ALWAYS interested in balisongs, so hit me up!

Finally I have a BM 45 plain edge for sale, it is a user, and has been resharpened by Lifesharp. It has some light spiderweb scratches on the steel handles, but they can be buffed off if you so choose. ONE side of one of the pins has moved less than a milimeter, but it's visible. The play in the handles is a bit loose, but still swings really nice. The lockup is rock solid both open and closed, so there hasnt been any wear on the tang cups or the inside of the handle where the kicker hits.....

GONE!!!!

I ask that all transactions are kept CONUS, as the importation of balis is notoriously sketchy.

Please PM me, or email me at rangerover_95@hotmail.com if you have any questions.....

Cheers,
Berkely
