Up for your consideration today I have a Ferrum Forge Mordax and a Jake Hoback Kwaiback UHEP.
The Mordax is a blasted finish with blue anodizing on parts. It is very smooth, has been used once or twice for very light cutting, but shows no wear from use. It has ceramic bearings (this was replacing a Pretium I sent in for work that had ceramic bearings, they said they'd put ceramic bearings in there but I never took it apart to verify, so going on their word) and a milled clip which is anodized blue and what would appear to be a finish similar to orange-peeled. It's a useful milled clip and complements the knife well IMO. It has a few minor imperfections I want to make known: the stop pin screw on the lock side popped out after I received the knife and was lost so it was replaced with a non anodized screw (extra body screws will be included with purchase if you want them to match), there is slight rubbing on a small part of the satin flats on the lock side as well due to the adjustable detent and tight clearance for the blade, and there is a small mark near the hoback rolling detent where my screwdriver slipped off once when adjusting it. These really are minor imperfections and with the included screws, you can anodize them whatever color you want so it could be a bonus for someone. The mark near the detent is hidden well and the rubbing marks are very slight and not visible from anywhere but up close (the picture shows a reflection from my canned light, that is not the rub mark). You could remove them if you were so inclined. This is a great knife and one of FF better designs. It is centered and I'd guess 35-40% lockup. I'd like $SOLD net through paypal OBRO. Shipped CONUS only.
The Hoback UHEP Kwaiback with Stonewash finish is about as Mint as possible. It's been flipped open a couple of times and nothing else. Picture may show some oil that was present near pivot. It is centered and about 30% lockup.
Asking $500 Net via Paypal OBRO shipped CONUS only.

Please make sure you are complying with local laws when purchasing any knives and as mentioned am open to offers to move them quickly.
