Andre Thorburn L36S Flipper is $480
McNees FMUK is $SOLD

Andre Thorburn is a South African maker with incredible attention to detail. This gentleman's pocket folder is just gorgeous. No clip! Blue Ti liners, polished G10 handles. The grind on the blade is just beautiful. I am the original owner and have never cut anything with this. I meant to carry it in the office but I never have. As new from the maker, rock soild lock-up, perfect centering, no bladeplay.

J McNees folding MUK is one awesome beast of a folder. And yet the blade comes down so thin it is an incredible slicer. Wonderful for food prep. Paper thin onion and potato slices and slices steak like a jedi lightsaber. Light marks on the blade and ti bolsters and clip from use but nothing that detracts from the beauty of this custom folder. Rock solid early lock-up, perfect centering, no bladeplay and just amazing fit and finish. This work of art is meant to be used though!

Prices include paypal fees, shipping and insurance.

I'm starting to have second thoughts on selling the FMUK. So if you're on the fence my advice is to move before I withdraw it!
 
A Thorburn is still available and price has been reduced from $550 to $480. Gotta move this! Need $$$
 
Wow I'm surprised Thorburn is still there....hmmm,,, very tempted
 
The IKBS system used by Thorburn is a ball bearing system that's incredibly smooth to operate. His Satin finish really needs to be seen/felt in person to appreciate it.
 
You said it!!!!! Too bad not many people are familiar with this knife. For $480 its a steal and compares to custom knives that cost $700 - $900.
