[ShadyMethods]

I'm trying to switch up the collection so here are some knives I'm putting up for trade. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have. If you need more details/specs/pictures, just shoot me a message and I'll have them sent over. If you're interested, feel free to start a conversation or email me at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com. I try to check my threads fairly often so chances are I'll see your posts as well. If you just want a straightforward sale, let me know and we can have something worked out. Thanks for taking a look.

For trades, I'm looking for: Jon Grahams, Ochs Worx, Yunas, Marlowes, Tashi collabs and customs, GTCs, Sharknivcos, RJ Martins, Dalibors, Broadwells, Black Snow Customs, VanderMeulens, Chris Goodwyns, Rogovets, Mosiers, Guthries, Rotten Designs, ZT 0454, G&G Deadlock, Rockstead Shun, and maybe a custom Emerson or just Striders in general but I'll always be open to other offers. I like seeing what's out there and the worst I can do is pass. Cash can be added either way.

1. David Clark Grunt - lightly carried
4" bladed non-flipper version of the Grunt
San mai damascus blade
Contoured satin finished frame with 3 holes in the front
Matching san mai backspacer
Monochromatic black timascus clip
Mirror polished pivot
There are some light scratches on the frame
Lockup is early but very solid, some slight stick but still very easy to disengage
Drop shut smooth with a strong snappy detent

2. DJ Urbanovsky/American Kami Custom - very good condition
I'm not sure about the model name but it looks to be the custom version of DJ's M6 midtech
7" of cutting edge and it's 11.75" overall
Chisel triple grind with a 2-tone satin
Rock pattern OD green G-10 scales
Doesn't look like it's been used but there is kydex wear on the blade and some light wear on the end of the tang

3. Chad Nell ESG - lightly carried
ESG #002 and the first bolsterlock ESG made
Blackwashed blade with his signature copper blade inlays
Stonewashed frame with shred carbon fiber scales
3d milled clip
Detent on this one is on the lighter side, but pre-load the flipper and it'll fly open
Centering is good, action is smooth, and it locks up rock solid

Contoured and acidwashed ti bolsters
Polished and contoured lightning strike carbon fiber scales
Deep carry clip
Gear pattern backspacer
Centering slightly favors the lock side
If you grab the blade and wrench on it, you can barely feel a small bit of play

Well tuned action, flies open and locks with a snap
Blade hole is fully functional and it can be Spydieflicked

5. Ochs Worx Avant - near mint
Perfectly built Ochs custom
3.25" working finish CPM-S35VN blade with a crowned and polished spine
Has the best layered G-10 scale I've seen, it's hand carved to make the top dark green layer take on an organic line look
Satin liners
Hammered copper backspacer
Copper pivot collars
Sculpted clip, carved and anodized to go with the backspacer
Snappy action, perfect centering, and solid lockup

6. Collins Custom Knives Sligo - lightly carried
