Esnyx Beer Buster Jr. in two-tone Antique Westinghouse Micarta and CPM-S35VN. This is a great little slipjoint from Evan Nicolaides who was an understudy of the late Tony Bose of slipjoint fame.
This was purchased directly from Esnyx at BladeShow 2022 by me. This knife was originally made last year by Evan, and was returned to him for a spa/ complete re-finish and to resell at his own discretion.
The pull is on the firmer side at about a 7/10. Walk and talk is excellent and smooth. Snaps closed with authority. Finishing is excellent. Dead centered blade with no blade play. There is a small amount of wear on the tang near the name stamp. It looks like a circular pattern from where it might've contacted the inside frames but I couldn't say for sure. I believe it was there when I purchased it.
Since owning this, I have only carried it twice in a handmade and branded Esnyx leather slip with blue stitching that matches the liner color. It has not been used.
Included is a blue soft zipper pouch, the CoA, an Esnyx sticker, the Esnyx leather slip, and a Plano hard plastic locking case.
Here's the overall specs of the knife:
* Closed Length: 3 1/2"
* Blade Length: 2 1/2"
* Over All Length: 6 1/4"
* Blade & Spring Steel: CPM S35VN Stainless Steel
* Handles: Dual-toned Westinghouse Micarta over Blue G10
* Blade Finish: Hand Rubbed
This was $800 at the show.
ASKING $725 OBRO
Open to trades for Shirogorov, CRK, TBC, Thorburn, perhaps others.
