I have a mint condition Dwaine Carrillo Airkat Tripwire framelock folder with a black G-10 non-lock-side handle slab and a satin finished 154CM compound grind blade for sale. For those unfamiliar with Dwaine's work, the Tripwire is perhaps the beefiest and toughest framelock folder ever made by anyone, and it is a discontinued model, so these are very hard to come by nowadays. It is seriously built like a tank. This one is one of very few that I've seen with a satin finished blade and a satin finished Ti slab.
The Tripwire framelock listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Dwaine is very sharp. The knife locks up like a fixed blade, and the blade centering is just about dead perfect.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Mint
Blade length: 3 7/8" from tip to handle
Overall length: 9"
Blade thickness: Just over 7/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: 154CM
Blade finish: Handrubbed flats, vertical satin grinds
Edge: Plain
Handle slab material: Titanium, satin finished on lock side, black G-10 on non-lock side
Lock: Titanium frame lock, satin finished
Backspacer: 3 oversized stand-offs, tumbled
Clip: Tip-down, titanium, satin finished
For payment on this piece, I strongly prefer USPS money orders, but I will also accept PayPal or personal check if I know you. If you are paying by PayPal, I will cover the fees, but the payment has to be sent with a PayPal-confirmed address (including the green "confirmed" marker) listed in the invoice, and I will only ship to that PayPal-confirmed address. I reserve the right to wait for personal checks to clear before I ship.
I will consider trades (with appropriate cash adjustment) for custom folders and custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:
JL Williams
Tim Galyean
Charles Marlowe
Bob Lum
Sal Manaro
Kit Carson
Deryk Munroe
Gerry McGinnis
Scott Cook
Jim Burke
Ernie Emerson
Rick Hinderer
Jim Smyth
DB Fraley
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Tom Mayo
Neil Blackwood
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Flavio Ikoma (balis only)
Mauricio Dobruski (balis only)
I may consider trades for other custom folders not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades other than those by John Young or Russ Andrews.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
