Dwaine Carrillo Airkat Tripwire Super Modified Model 7 framelock

[commodorewheeler]

I have a mint condition Dwaine Carrillo Airkat Tripwire framelock folder with a green canvas micarta non-lock-side handle slab, Dwaine's Chameleon finish, and a 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. It is seriously built like a tank. This one is the Super Modified version, and to my understanding, it is one of only two ever made with green canvas micarta.

The Tripwire framelock listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Dwaine is 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 3/4" from tip to handle
Overall length: 9 1/8"
Blade thickness: 7/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: 154CM
Blade finish: Chameleon
Edge: Plain
Handle slab material: Titanium, beadblasted and Chameleon finished on lock side, green canvas micarta on non-lock side
Lock: Titanium frame lock, beadblasted and Chameleon finished
Backspacer: 3 oversized stand-offs, coated black
Clip: Tip-down, titanium, beadblasted and Chameleon 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
Kit Carson
Deryk Munroe
Jim Burke
Rick Hinderer
Charles Marlowe
Jim Smyth
DB Fraley
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Bob Lum
Scott Cook
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 Tim Galyean, John Young, Jerry Hossom, or Russ Andrews.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!

Would you be interested in a Brian Tighe Triple X Mint for trade against the tripwire, This is the onlyTriple X I have seen with a nice looking blood grove down the center of the blade. For some reason I cannot PM.
Thanks
Tom
