I have a near mint condition Darrel Ralph Morse Code custom bali with titanium handles and a handrubbed S30V bowie blade for trade. This bali is incredibly smooth; although it is pre-IKBS for Darrel, it is as smooth as any Korth or Ikoma bali I have ever handled. I don't know Morse Code, but from what I have been told, the pattern milled into the handles spells out "Venturi".
The Morse Code bali listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and it has its original sharp edge from Darrel. It has been lightly flipped a few times. The only things keeping me from calling it "mint" are light latch marks from manipulation and a couple of small light rub marks on the blade.
***TRADED***
The specs:
Condition: Near mint
Blade length: 4 1/4" from tip to handle
Overall length: 9"
Blade thickness: 5/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: S30V
Blade finish: Handrubbed
Edge: Plain
Handle material: Titanium, satin finished, with milled Morse Code pattern
Clip: None
I will consider a trade for any Strider RC or an AR or GB with specifically the following options:
Digicam blade
Black grooved and contoured G-10 scales
TAD tritium thumbstuds
I will also consider trades (+ or - cash) for custom folders and custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:
JL Williams
Tim Galyean
Kit Carson
Jim Burke
Rick Hinderer
Charles Marlowe
Tom Mayo
DB Fraley
Neil Blackwood
Deryk Munroe
Flavio Ikoma
Mauricio Dobruski (balis only)
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Todd Begg
I may consider trades for other custom folders not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives aside from the specific aforementioned Striders, or fixed blades other than a Galyean Ukiah, small (less than 5" blade) Hossoms, or a Russ Andrews or John Young at this point in time.
Feel free to post, email, or PM any questions. Thanks for looking!
