I have a mint condition Charles Marlowe framelock with titanium handle slabs and a satin finished S30V swedged drop point blade for trade. As many of you reading this already know, Charles is in the absolute top echelon of makers when it comes to tactical/utility folders, and this unnamed model is one of only two pieces that he made in this pattern. This particular framelock is the only one to feature some impressive hand checkering to serve as the handle texture.
The Marlowe framelock listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Charles is extremely sharp. The action is smooth, and the knife can be easily opened with a good flick of the thumb. I uploaded a video here to demonstrate the action. The lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering is just about dead perfect.
***TRADED***
The specs:
Condition: Mint
Blade length: 3 3/8" from tip to handle
Overall length: 7 1/2"
Blade thickness: Just over 5/32" at ricasso
Blade material: S30V
Blade finish: Random pattern handrubbed flats, satin grinds
Edge: Plain
Handle slab material: Titanium, beadblasted, hand checkered, and anodized bronze
Lock: Titanium frame lock, beadblasted, hand checkered, and anodized bronze
Backspacer: Black G-10
Clip: Tip up, titanium, beadblasted and anodized bronze
For payment on this piece, I can take USPS money orders and PayPal (add 3% in the US to cover most of the fees, 4% outside of the US). I can also take a 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.
For this piece, I will consider trades for other Marlowe folders. I will also consider trades for certain high end custom folders from the following makers:
JL Williams
Tim Galyean
Deryk Munroe
Jim Smyth
Kit Carson
Jim Burke
Gerry McGinnis
DB Fraley
Bob Lum
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
I am not interested in trading this piece for other custom folders not listed above. I am also not interested in balisongs, serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades in trade for this piece.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
