Got two for sale, a Carson Tech Lab large Griffin and Asymmetric Midi.
Both have been used lightly.
Carson Tech Lab large Griffin
A lightweight button lock with a titanium handle. This one runs on ceramic bearings and is smooth. Also a good cutter. Has been carried lightly and sharpened (out-of-the-box edge sharpness was less than what I am accustomed to). Has not cut anything since sharpening.
Specs:
RWL34 blade steel
96 mm blade length
207 mm OAL length
119g weight
Button lock, with an extra safety mechanism (slider)
Comes with box, lanyard and a Carson leather pouch.
USD 300 (use gift or add 3.5% to cover PP fees). Shipping is on me.
Asymmetric (midi)
This is the smaller of the two Asymmetric knives. Production-wise, this is basically CKF before it became CKF. Design by Ratatouille (Alexey Konygin). There has been varying quality reported in the batch, this particular knife has no hickups.It feels very solid in the hand, has nice operation (although not as fast to deploy as IKBS-equipped flippers which have been tuned properly). Very solid lockup and nice strong detent, there is a very definitive 'snap' of the frame lock when you flip the knife open. It's very solidly built overall - definitely feels more solid than the gentleman's folder it actually is.
The edge has been slightly touched up on Apex Edge Pro (I used the generic Boride stones, and they don't exactly bite hard into S90V).
Specs and features:
Rather unique design - the idea was to make the knife (both the blade and the handle), well, as asymmetric as possible.
S90V blade steel
Ceramic Bearings
95 mm blade length
210 mm OAL length
USD 350 (use gift or add 3.5% to cover PP fees). Shipping is on me.
The only trade I might be interested in is Assymmetric for Umnumzaan Tanto.
