I'm trying to switch up the collection so here are some knives I'm putting up for trade. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have. If you need more details/specs/pictures, just shoot me a message and I'll have them sent over. If you're interested, feel free to start a conversation or email me at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com. I try to check my threads fairly often so chances are I'll see your posts as well. If you just want a straightforward sale, let me know and we can have something worked out. Thanks for taking a look.
For trades, I'm looking for an: MSC XL Yeti, Jon Grahams, Yunas, Marlowes, Direwares, GTCs, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, ViKnives, Rocksteads, Dalibors, Broadwells, Black Snow Customs, Phantom Steelworks, Kirby Lamberts, Jim Burkes, Ochs, Blackwoods, VanderMeulens, Jason Clarks, Rassentis, Demkos, some Shirogorovs, Grimsmos, Jason Guthries, Marfione MSG-3, DOC, ZT 0454, and maybe a custom Emerson or Striders in general but if you have other offers, I'm happy to hear them. Cash can be added either way.
1. Darrel Ralph DDR/RPB 4" Madd Maxx - like new
Full dress 4" version of the discontinued Madd Maxx
Just returned back from spa so it's been tuned, refinished, and sharpened by the maker
Stainless damascus blade with a nice fuller
Stainless damascus front side and lock side with scalloping on the inside edges
The front has a presentation grade white mother of pearl overlay that also has a presentation grade brown-lip mother of pearl inlaid into it
The entire overlay has been contoured and scalloped, it shimmers in the light and the color changes with the angle so my camera can't do it justice
Rich bronze anodized hardware, standoffs, and deep carry clip
Fit and finish is perfect
Centering is dead on and lockup is tight
2. Curtiss Knives Large F3 - near mint
This one is an early F3 so it's more of a handmade custom than the current ones
There is no finger choil on the blade, there's a small thumb-ramp on the blade, and the jimping is cut differently
2-tone M390 blade with a reflective stonewash on the flats and a working finish on the grinds
Tumbled ti frame
Because there's no forward finger choil, the edge gets closer the back of the frame where the sharpening choil starts
Looks to be centered but might be a hair off to the front side
Lockup is secure and won't fail on you but there is a slight bit of lockslip if the knife is lightly opened, with a good flip it's solid
If you lightly open it, you can push the lockbar over another 5% or just any pressure on the lockbar makes the slip go away
Action hasn't changed too much over the years, runs glass smooth on his SPOT pivot, fires open, and drops shut
