Hi everyone. I'm trying to switch up the collection a bit so here are some knives up for trade. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have. I can give more details, specs, and pictures if you ask. If you're interested, feel free to start a conversation or email me at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. If you just want a straightforward sale, let me know and we can have something worked out. Thanks for taking a looking.

For trades, I'm looking for: Jon Grahams, Yunas, Marlowes, DireWares, GTC's, Southards, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Rocksteads, Dalibors, Black Snow Customs, Phantom Steelworks, Kirby Lamberts, Burkes, Ochs, Blackwoods, VanderMeulens, Jason Clarks, a Todd Begg Beggatti, Rassentis, Demkos, some Shirogorovs, Grimsmos, Marfione MSG-3, DOC, ZT 0454, and maybe a custom Emerson or Strider but if you have other offers, I'm happy to hear them. Cash can be added either way.
