Looking for highend folders. Con US only for trades. Email any offers, am just seeing what pops up so open to all. Prefer older used classics I can refurb, ti frame locks, and multiple knife trades. Limited editions and sprint runs also capture my attention.

*Custom Scaled 525*

Brown paper micarta scales adds a whole new look and feel to this 525. Great for sheeple and easy on dress pants pockets, this Mel Pardue design is now perfect for office carry and as a general edc knife. Its smooth, centered, locks up solid, and is sharp. Doesn't inclued original alu scales and has been carried some and used/sharpened a little. Includes lifesharp box and bag.

*800 AFCK*

This is the origonal AFCK model. The titanium liners have been flamed blue and the backspacer has been replaced with stand offs for a completely flow through handle. The action is super smooth with perfect centering and solid lock up. This is a user that I edc most of the time. I don't have any hard use tasks in my day to day, id say its lightly used. The blade has love marks but they help keep it from just sitting looking pretty on a box. Can't decide if I want to keep this or the ares below, so when one sells I'll pull the other. Will come in lifesharp box with bag and papers.

*Ares*

Picked up and refurbed this Ares this week and its trying to kick my AFCK out of my pocket. I refinished the g10 getting rid of knick and scrapes. Also darkened the green on the handle, just didn't like how bright it was. Cleaned up the blade quite a bit but but it isn't factory new by any means. Replaced the plastic washers with bronze one and theb action couldn't be smoother. Lock up is axis typical and the centered blade is screamin sharp. Will pull this if the AFCK sells first. Comes in lifesharp box with papers and bag.

Large Ritter/Wilkins *sold*

S30V stone washed Doug Ritter Griptilian blade and guts wearing black g10 Wilkins Grips. This is a user set and a great way to try this popular combo combo without spending $300. These have been used and sharpened. Edc'd by previous owner for quite a while, he also stripped out the middle screw on the non clip side. The set functions perfectly and is quite impressive. Its razor sharp and includes the original scales and spare screws along with the wilkins and ritters boxes. Great deal for someone whose been wanting to see what all the fuss is about. Asking *sold*

*Pro Series Large Lahar*


This is a special edition version of the large pro series Lahar made for a specific dealer, I can't think of which one off the top of my head, but they were limited and any pro series knives are tough to get these days. This is a midEtech knife, with the cpm154 blade hand ground by Tim Galyean. Its been carried and lightly used a time or two. I also removed some of the anodizing on the titanium handles and flamed the clip blue. Fires like a rocket when flipped due to the ikbs pivot system and strong detent. Fit is perfect, actions smoother than I believed possable and its a custom quality knife.
