Need to free up funds for another knife I've been drooling over, so no trades.

I am selling a 1st Production Run BRKT CPM-154 Bravo-1 in Black Canvas Micarta with thumb-ramp removed by BRKT and the accompanying Martin Swinkels custom kydex-lined leather sheath. I bought this guy as a stainless back-up to my original A2 Bravo-1 and never used it much. When I sold the A2 Bravo, I started using my RAT knives and BRKT Gunny more, so this SS Bravo is virtually unused. As you see in the pics, there are a couple of minor scuff marks from the kydex liner in the sheath, and I've struck a firesteel on it a couple of times. But the knife is in EXCELLENT condition, I haven't even sharpened it beyond a minor stropping, so the original factory edge is intact.

The sheath from Martin is still in excellent condition. It is incredible: spectacular quality and very streamlined. It has never been subjected to harsh conditions and it still looks as good as the day I got it. The retention strap is removable, and the kydex alone is good enough to keep the knife in the sheath. The sheath is set up for normal carry or dangler, and will accept a tek-lok. I'm reluctant to part with such a great piece of craftsmanship...but I'll have no use for it unless I pick up another Bravo down the line.

I am selling both for $240 shipped (this is a great deal for Martin's work :D) OR I am willing to sell the just the knife with the stock kydex sheath for $190 shipped.

CONUS only, paypal preferred, add 1.5% to split paypal fees, and I ship USPS with insurance and delivery confirmation.
First "I'll take it" gets it.

Contact me by PM or email if you need specific pics. Pics below (carpet background) are current as of last night.

Sorry for the poor pic quality, don't really have room to set up a light box right now....
 
What happened to the thumb ramp? Did you grind it off yourself or is this a version that didn't come with the thumb ramp? Do you have the original kydex sheath also?

Ah! I completely forgot to mention that; yes, after my first Bravo-1, I asked Derrick at KSF to have BRKT remove the thumbramp for me on this second stainless Bravo before shipping it to me. I find that the thumb-ramp just gets in the way for me.

I might still have the original kydex sheath somewhere around, I have to look for it. But honestly, the standard kydex sheath really blew, and this one by Martin is immeasurably better :D But if I can't find the sheath, I'm sure one of our fine kydex makers here on BF can rig you up better than you'd be with the stock sheath.
 
Just found the stock kydex sheath for this one. I think it also includes a firesteel loop. So if you want just the knife, it'll come with the stock kydex. Updated OP.
 
Keeping this one for now, PM me if you are seriously interested. :) I'm actually happy I didn't part with it, there was a good chance I'd regret it :D

Sale withdrawn!
