Carson Large Folding Bowie Framelock #1

[commodorewheeler]

I have a Kit Carson large folding Bowie framelock with tumbled Ti handle slabs and a CPM 154 clip point blade for trade. This folding Bowie framelock is a monster; it's one of the biggest and arguably the toughest and beefiest folder that I've ever handled. I don't know for sure how many of these Kit has made, but this one has the number "1" marked on one side of the blade.

The Carson framelock listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Kit is sharp. The opening action is very smooth, the lock-up is extremely strong and solid, and the blade centering is just about dead perfect.

***TRADED***

The specs:

Condition: Mint
Blade length: 4 3/4" from tip to handle
Overall length: 11"
Blade thickness: 7/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: CPM 154
Blade finish: Stonewashed
Edge: Plain
Handle slab material: Titanium, stonewashed
Lock: Titanium frame lock, stonewashed
Backspacer: Black G-10
Clip: Tip down, stainless steel, stonewashed

I will consider trades (with appropriate cash adjustment) for custom folders and custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:

JL Williams
Tim Galyean
Kit Carson
Deryk Munroe
Jim Burke
Rick Hinderer
Charles Marlowe
Jim Smyth
DB Fraley
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Bob Lum
Scott Cook
Tom Mayo
Neil Blackwood
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Flavio Ikoma (balis only)
Mauricio Dobruski (balis only)

I may consider trades for other custom folders not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades other than those by Tim Galyean, John Young, Jerry Hossom, or Russ Andrews.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
