For sale is a Brian Flud Flipper Framelock Folder. It features a 3.5" stonewashed CPM 154 tanto blade with seafoam green anodized titanium frame with stylized textured etchings. Also features a lanyard and stylized pocket clip. Here's a video by the knifemaker demonstrating the thumb flipper deployment:

The blade edge has a mirror polish, although when I received this knife it was almost butter knife dull. I was able to achieve a hair popping edge on the Sharpmaker within a matter of minutes, working it up to the ultrafine stone and stropping it on a loaded block. However, the polished edge now bears the marks of the sharpening as evidenced in the above photos.
Also of note, the lock bar tension is a bit on the weak side and tends to lock up slightly early leaving a minute amount of front to back bladeplay. This can be easily remedied by giving the bar a small squeeze to push it that last millimeter into place leaving the blade very secure. There is no side to side play whatsoever and the action is incredibly smooth.
Asides from those issues, the rest of the knife is in pristine condition. It has never been carried or used for more than paper cut tests. I treated the blade of this knife with a light coating of Tuf-Glide along with a couple drops to the pivot area upon obtaining it earlier this year. It has been stored in a humidity controlled safe. It's a very solidly crafted and unique knife that I've enjoyed owning a great deal.
