I have a Kit Carson small Model 21 framelock folder with contoured titanium handle slabs and a Mike Norris Fire Clone pattern stainless damascus coping blade for sale. As everyone looking at this listing almost certainly already knows, Kit is one of the true legends among tactical/utility folder makers, and this piece is a shining example of the standards of excellence that he has maintained throughout over 30 years of knifemaking. The handle slabs are finished with a classy orange peel texture that looks great and helps contribute to a sure grip.
The Model 21 listed here has been carried and used very lightly, but it has never been resharpened, and its original edge from Kit is very sharp. There are no marks on this piece from carry or usage. The action is very smooth, and the knife is easy to open with a light flick of the thumb. I uploaded a brief video here to demonstrate the action. The lock-up is rock solid as well.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Carried and used very lightly
Blade length: 3" from tip to handle
Overall length: 7"
Blade thickness: Just over 1/8" at ricasso
Blade material: Mike Norris Fire Clone stainless damascus
Blade finish: Etched
Edge: Plain
Handle slabs: Titanium, orange peeled
Lock: Titanium frame lock, orange peeled
Backspacer: Titanium, orange peeled
Clip: Titanium, tumbled, interchangeable between tip up and tip down
For payment on this piece, I strongly prefer USPS money orders, but I will also accept PayPal (add 3% to cover most PayPal fees) or personal check if I know you. If you are paying by PayPal, the payment has to be sent with a PayPal-confirmed address (including the green "confirmed" marker) listed in the invoice, and I will only ship to that PayPal-confirmed address. I reserve the right to wait for payments to clear before I ship.
I will consider trades (with appropriate cash adjustment) for custom folders and certain custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:
JL Williams
Charles Marlowe
Tim Galyean
Deryk Munroe
Bob Lum
Kit Carson
Gerry McGinnis
Mike Snody
Sal Manaro
Scott Cook
Jim Burke
Ernie Emerson
Rick Hinderer
Jim Smyth
DB Fraley
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Tom Mayo
Neil Blackwood
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Flavio Ikoma (balis only)
I may consider trades for other custom folders or balis not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades other than those by John Young or Russ Andrews.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
