Selling a small assortment of knives today. All prices are with shipping and PayPal fees included (all inclusive). Photo album kinda orders however it wants, but I tried to get them in order. There is a video of the action for all knives. I can negotiate on price, but everything is priced pretty much at my bottom dollar. Not much interest in trades, but you never know, random things pique my interest but it has to have lefty clip options.

Photos/videos:
First is the Vero Engineering Synapse Lefty. Comes with 3 extra scale sets, jade G10, black/white topo G10, white G10 (some staining), and the grey micarta it's wearing. Great flipping action, just despite it being a lefty knife I like the larger handle of the Avid 1 more. Has been used and sharpened, no box but will ship in a generic pouch. Centering and lockup are great. Asking $250.

Next is the Spyderco Lil Lionspy. Very smooth action, light user with a little blade wear I can't get to show on camera well, just light spider webbing from cutting cardboard. Centering is a touch off, but nowhere near rubbing. Blade has been reprofiled from the terribly obtuse factory edge (I think it was around 22° per side) and sharpened to one of my better edges. Comes in the pouch, these were not sold with a box, I bought it years ago as NOS from I believe GPKnives. Asking $250.

Next is the smallest of the bunch, the Zieba MS3. Titanium M390 flipper, very compact and snappy. Has not been used, but has been carried a little, has not been sharpened. Excellent gent's flipper, just not a lefty clip knife so I won't carry it. Great centering and lockup. Asking $200.

Next is in my opinion the best flipper of the bunch, the American Blade Works (ABW) Model 1, unsure of the version though. Excellently contoured micarta, S35VN blade, and a wicked flip. You can hear the thwack in the video, it's addicting. It has been well used, with some blade finish wear in the photos, has been sharpened. Not a safe queen, but definitely still a ton of life left. Great centering and lockup. Asking $100.

SOLD Now the rarest of the bunch, the Kershaw 40th Anniversary 4040 Ruby. Full size flipper in titanium and ZDP-189, and well used. The handles show plenty of marks, and the very tip of the blade has chipped off. Blade has been sharpened. Just too big for me, so it's never gotten any use since I bought it. Great centering and lockup. Asking $200, a steal for ZDP-189 and US made.

Heads up, the timestamp photos also need to say BFC or Bladeforums (#1)

It's going to look weird with my timestamp being different than my photos, but I fixed it.
