The best way to reach me is email: BoothLavaris@gmail.com > All prices are net paypal prices (paypal only) to me, so either use gift option or add the 3-4% if you indicate your making a purchase. All knives will be sold US only (I apologize to international members, I have not had good experiences shipping international). First "I'll take it" followed by an email to get paypal info gets the knife. I reserve the right to deal with people I want to. If you purchase more than one I will combine shipping. All prices include shipping to your door and ALL blades come with box, papers, etc. I'm not really looking for any trades at the time. Let me know if you have any questions or want more pics.

The Direware Solo came directly from the maker. Its brand new and has not been broken in at all. I flipped it 3-4 times so I could write up a description but it has not been carried in any way. The blade is EXTREMELY sharp. I have heard others comment on this but it really is a surprise when you see just how sharp they are (beyond hair shaving sharp). The Solo is a Version 5 (V) Wharncliffe Flippers.

This is the most difficult one to put up for sale. Its the newest version of the Solo model, TI vs TI (stonewashed). Again, blade is BNIB, never used in any way. On the show scale, there is a LSCF inlay that is done to perfection and you are not able to feel any difference between the two materials when you run you finger across the scale. The blade is a wharncliffe flipper, done in the "Dark Tumbled" (Black oxide tumbled finish). The steel is S110V. It has STRONG lockbar tension. I can close the knife one handed with my left, but not with the right hand (its a big enough knife where you will mostly use 2 hands to close). Because this knife is brand new, I expect that it will break in with time. Lockup and centering are perfect. This will be shipped with insurance. Price=$1300 shipped/insured

This is a Very cool Grip!. You start with a GP Knives "limited edition" Benchmade grip (full size) in M4 steel. This blade is #19/300. Then it had Kevin Wilkins green G10 grips put on. Last I had JDavis put a mirror polished edge on the blade. Its has never been used to cut a thing. I've carried it around 3-4 times so there may be some VERY minor wear, but looks pristine. This is the one axis lock knife where I can honestly say there is absolutely ZERO blade play. I'm a blade play nazi and I can find play in anything... This knife has zero. If it doesn't sell I wont be upset but I wanted to test the waters. It does NOT come with the original factory (black) scales, but does come with the box, pouch, etc. I've seen the blade alone go for $200 and the grips cost over $130 with overseas shipping. I have done my best to show that (like every grip I've ever had) its not perfectly centered. It doesn't rub, but its off to the left. Price=$240 shipped






Boker Damascus Kwaiken LNIB. I have not used the knife at all but there is a very very small mark/imperfection that I noticed when looking at the pics. I will do my best to show this in the first picture. I promised myself I wouldn't keep knives that I don't use and because its damascus, I have not been able to bring myself to cut anything with it. The IKBS is fantastic and the blade is extremely smooth and without ANY blade play in either direction. Blade costs $250 new. I'm selling it for $210 shipped
