It's an "I have too many knives" sale. I'll be reducing the price periodically until midnight CST, then I'm going to bed. Can finalize payments if needed from 7am to 8am CST tomorrow, then I'm going to the post office and will close this thread.

You are responsible for ensuring you may legally purchase and possess knife. US sales only. Would prefer NO TRADES, but will entertain offers.
Knife 1: D. Kelly fixed blade - a beauty
Notes: Bought on forum. Time worn burnt Sambar stag; milled wrought iron guard with fluted ferrule and matching butt cap; 4 1/8" 1084/15N20 Carbon Damascus hollow ground blade; overall length of 9"; the maker's leather sheath; and padded leather zipper case.
Condition: 99%; very minor scuffing visible on guard from insertion into sheath or resting on table.
Price: $450 >> $430 >> $410
Knife 2: Tobin Smith folder - a solid liner lock for lefty
Notes: Bought new from maker and have carried it once or twice. S35VN Sheepsfoot style blade (full flat grind, approx 3" cutting edge and 7" total length), lignum scales, Ti liners. The backspacer, clip, blade, and screws have a bit of acid etching. The overall construction is solid and the knife feels great in the hand. Good early lock up and centered blade. No blade play at all.
Price: $240 >> $220 >> $210
Knife 3: Rod Olson - custom M9 titanium button lock flipper knife with jigged bone
Notes: Bought new from Blade HQ. RWL-34 spear point blade (hollow grind, approx 3" cutting edge and 7" total length). Amazingly smooth flipping action, centered blade, solid lock up, blade falls when button pushed to close. Really impressive flipper and the jigged bone is not something you see often on a custom flipper. The only thing that is not perfect is the grind at the tip of the blade (see photo). I should have a zipper case for this.

Knife 4: Hiroaki Ohta - 21st Century Friction Folder
Notes: Bought on forum. Haven't used, but it bit me once at home. Carbon fiber scales, red liners, 3" harpoon blade from O-1 steel. Total open length is 6 7/8". Leather pouch. Light weight, smooth action. There are a couple of marks on the back spacer and the leather lanyard has some wear.

Knife 5: Gedraitis - small snubnose framelock folder
Notes: Bought on forum. Sent back to Gedraitis for spa service. Haven't used it. Looks great and has solid early lock up. Carbon fiber on presentation side, Ti on framelock side. Blade is 2 3/8" hand-rubbed A2 steel and total length is 5 3/4". The blade is just a bit off center toward the presentation side when closed.
Price: $sold
Knife 6: Obenauf - model 2 framelock folder
Notes: Bought or traded for it on forum. OAL is 8 5/8". S30V blade is approx 4". Beautiful Ti scales. Nice ergos for a framelock. Previous owner mentioned it's been carried and at 95%. I haven't carried, but took it apart and re-assembled. Seems like I did something wrong. The lockup is solid, but I can get it to squeak by trying to force up/down play. Also, the blade is off center to the presentation side and almost touches. Overall, this a large solid framelock, but I've priced it low due to the issues mentioned.
Price: $245 >> $225 >> $210
