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 taking a looking.

For trades, I'm looking for: Yunas, DireWares, GTC's, Southards, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Rocksteads, Phantom Steelworks, Kirby Lamberts, Blackwoods, Lightfoots, Jason Clarks, Hobacks, a Todd Begg Beggatti, Rassentis, a Demko AD15, Dervishs, Jon Grahams, Grimsmos, non-locking MSC PT, Marfione MSG-3, DOC, ZT 0454, 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. Allen Elishewitz Saboteur - near mint
Two-tone satin blade
Mokume bolsters
Perfectly done polished lightning strike carbon fiber scales; it's 100% smooth and I can't feel any of the wires at all
Orange-peeled liners
There are some light scuffs on the finish of the blasted clip
Glass smooth action, perfect centering, and lockup is about as solid as it gets
Feels great in hand

2. A2 Andre Thorburn/Andre Van Heerden A3-3D - near mint - Traded
Runs glass smooth on a multi-row IKBS system with 90 bearing
Has Thorburn's signature action, fires open instantly and with a nice snap
Drop point blade with a hand rubbed satin
Black G-10 scales with seamless green G-10 inlays
Light blue anodized liners
Has been lightly carried but the only real wear is a small chip in the G-10 under the pivot on the clip side
Perfectly centered and locks up with no play at all

3. John w Smith F5 Flipper - brand new - Traded
4" blade with a flawless hand satin finish and perfectly symmetrical grinds
Ti bolsters
Contoured and lightly textured black G-10 scales
Seamless transitions between materials
The smoothest knife on washers that I've owned
Centering slightly favors the lockside but doesn't come close to rubbing

5. Yuna Knives Qi 4 - brand new - Traded
Hands down the sharpest knife I've handled or owned

Hollow ground M390 blade with a convex edge

There is slip out of hand but it might just need to be re-broken in after the spa
Action is hydraulic and smoother than a Sebenza
Centering slightly favors the presentation side but doesn't come close to rubbing
Fits comfortable in hand in any number of grips
