Guys,

New project coming up, needs funding. Selling some knives that don't get used, are collecting dust and deserve a more worthy owner.
All these knives are used but in at least very good condition, I will indicate the shape they're in with each individual description. I am NOT looking for trades EXCEPT for a ZT 0561 in new or excellent condition, and I will only trade 'down' ie your ZT + money for one of mine (make an offer).

I will only ship to Europe and US unless you have good feedback on this forum. I ship with insurance only, payments are made thru Paypal only. All prices include shipping, insurance and Paypal cost.

If you want more photo's or info, please just ask in post or thru email/pm.

EXTREMA RATIO RAO
Awesome beastly folder from Italy. 6.5 mm thick blade, 5" long, N690c steel aluminium frame with extra manual lock. This is as close as a folder can come to fixed blade strength.
I had a beautiful custom leather sheath made for it by Martinsheaths because the thick balistic nylon one that comes with it is just too bulky for urban wear (excellent for hiking/camping though).
The knife comes with a spare set of washers, locking pin and lanyard, as well as the standard sharpening stone. It's been carried but never used. It has good but not perfect lockup, which is standard for the RAO. The knife has to be felt to be believed. :D
The nylon sheath is very clever, it accommodates the RAO both in folded and openened state. The knife comes with the original box and papers.

Asking $330 including custom leather sheath.


LIONSTEEL SR-1
This is the second generation SR-1 with the convex edge. For those who don't know, the frame of the SR-1 is made of a single block of titanium. The blade is made of Sleipner steel, which is similar to D2 but less prone to chipping. It is excellent.
Lock up is almost but not quite perfect until you engage the Rotoblock.

Then the knife becomes as solid as a fixed blade. I've often thought of this knife as a folding mini version of the Busse FBM, it has similar shapes and is equally rugged (for a folder, of course).
The knife comes in the original wooden box with adjustment tool.

Sorry to respond so late, I was in hospital with a nasty pneumonia. The answer is no, it has not yet been sold.
