1. Darrel Ralph DDR/RPB 4" Madd Maxx - like new - $2750
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. Rick Hinderer Custom XM-18 3.5 Fatty Slicer - brand new in box with extras - $2000
Two-tone satin blade with blasted edges around the flipper
Thick Fatty blade stock but the deep hollow Slicer grind makes it thin behind the edge
Textured full ti front side
Tumbled bronzed ti handle with hints of purple
Steel Flame Spartan filler tab
Perfect fit and finish
Dead mint
Comes with a matching liner and a polished frag pattern carbon fiber scale
Flips great and the thumbstuds work perfectly
Centering is spot on, locks up with no play at all, and the action is smooth

3. Reese Weiland Strike Proto - near mint - $900
Wharncliffe flipper with 3.75" of edge
Engraved "RW PROTO" on the blade spine
Fit and especially the finish work on this one is incredible
2-tone blade with hand satin flats and mirror polished grinds
The frame is contoured ti with an egg-shell finish that's slightly more reflective on the edges
The pivot is polished and the lockbar stabilizer has a hand satin
Still very new so there's a hint of lock stick as it breaks in
There are some hairline scratches toward the tip of the blade but the mirror polish keeps me from showing them, you can also see a nick in the edge in the last photo
Perfect centering, locks with zero play, and action is glass smooth
Feels great in hand

4. Curtiss Knives Large F3 - near mint - $700
This one is an early F3 so it's more of a handmade custom than the current ones
There is no finger choil in 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 choil, the edge gets close the back of the frame only by the flipper
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 unless you push the lockbar over another 5%, then it's rock solid
Also 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

5. EOS Squid - near mint - $450
Very well built folder with a 3.625" blade
Everything, even down to the screws, was machined all in the same shop
The inside of the frame has been extensively skeletonized so it's easier to carry than it looks
If you look closely, the machining marks were left in certain places to give it a nice effect
Blasted S35VN blade
Stonewashed ti handle with a nice satin on the flat
Flamed backspacer and clip
Opens easily with either the flipper or thumbhole and falls shut
Not 100% broken in but already runs glass smooth on ceramic bearings
Perfect centering and it locks with zero play
