Hi everyone. I'm on the hunt for some new steel so here are some knives up for trade. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have about what you see. 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 looking.
For trades, I'm looking for: Yunas, DireWares, GTC's, Southards, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Rocksteads, Phantom Steelworks, Kirby Lamberts, Lightfoots, Dwaine Carrillos, Jason Clarks, a Todd Begg Beggatti, Rassentis, a Demko AD15, Skike Rogue Shark, Dervish customs, Jon Grahams, Warren Thomas, Grimsmos, non-locking MSC PT, Marfione MSG-3, 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.
1. Doc Shiffer Custom Designated Marksman - like new
Very well made 3.75"-4" flipper
Blade has a smoky hamon
Sculpted bronze working finish titanium handle with polished highs
Gear-pattern backspacer
If you grab the blade and really force it, there is the slightest bit of up-and-down play; doesn't affect the function at all and you'd only notice if you were checking for it
It has one of the best actions I've handled, liquid smooth and it will open regardless of how you use the flipper
The blade sits dead center in the handle
Feels great in hand in a number of different grips
2. Marfione Custom/Deryk Munroe Sigil MK6 - brand new in box
Number 009
The level of detail on this one is insane
2-tone M390 blade with satin flats and polished stonewashed grinds
Copper pivot plate
Milled, skeletonized, and stonewashed ti frame
Machine marks were intentionally left on the lockside to give it a nice effect
Floating backspacer
Grippy milled steps on the lockbar and on the inside of the thumbhole
Centering favors the presentation side by a hair but doesn't come close to rubbing
Fast reliable action
There's a bit more info about it here: http://www.monkeyedge.com/Microtech-Custom-Munroe-Sigil-MK6-Large-Titanium-p/mtk0422-mu207.htm
3. Alan Folts One-Off Prototype - near mint - Traded
Alan is known for making complete one-offs so I think this is the only one of it's kind
It is marked as a prototype on the inside of the liner
The bolstered scales feel seamless and the pattern on the front scale matches perfectly
The liners, pivot, and body screws are anodized purple
Handle is fairly thick so it gives you a very comfortable grip
Blade is thin so it slices like a champ
Runs on IKBS and you have to make a conscious effort to not have the blade fly open
There is a bit of up-and-down play but not enough to affect the function
Centering is dead on
