I have several rare custom knives for sale. They are all from my personal collection and while they are quite a few years old, have seen minimal or no use and are in excellent condition. I love each of these knives and would rather not see them go, but my collection is becoming unwieldy and these just dont get admired often enough to justify keeping around.
Insured shipping within the CONUS and Paypal fees are included in the prices shown. I will ship to other locations, but this will need to be negotiated and details agreed on before purchase.
I make every effort to accurately describe each knife, but realize that nothing replaces seeing the knife in person. Therefore, to limit risk, I offer a 3-day inspection period. If you dont like the knife, send it back (at your cost) and I will refund the purchase price, less my cost for shipping/insurance. The knife must be returned in same condition as received.
Since I am attempting to thin my collection, there are only a few, specific knives I am interested in taking in trade (will do +/- cash):
Bastinelli Compact Dragotac
CKF Garza
JW Smith SD or RG model with 3" blade
Fantoni CUT Flipper
Todd Begg Field Grade Bodega
McGinnis Proline Valve
Kirby Lambert Claw
$OLD
J.L. Williams SR-1 (Rhino) Flipper
This is also a very rare knife from a fantastic maker. I am the only owner and it is in the same condition as I received it-which is to say, new and nearly perfect. All of the metal on the knife is bead blasted (blade, liners, bolster, clip), which means there is some small wear just from flipping. While most of the metal looks flawless, the choil of the blade is shiny where it meets the stop pin and the flipper part of the blade on the clip side has some shiny circular marks from where it travels in the liner. There is also a small, not quite shiny dot on the clip side in the flipper recess. Other than those items (which are minor/small), it is perfect.
As with all of J.L. knives, it has fantastic fit and finish and absolutely solid construction. I also like the unique flipper mechanism. This knife is on washers and while very smooth, does occasionally take some wrist action to open. 9 ¼ overall, 4 CPM-S30V blade, carbon fiber handles, bead blasted titanium clip, bolsters, and liners. Locks up solid, closes perfectly centered. Comes with a zipper case. Asking $1199

This knife was part of a series of 5 knives that used the same design, but different handle materials (IIRC). This is #5 and labeled as such on the blade. I am the first owner and carried this knife a handful of times-I may have cut open a box with it. I have never sharpened it and it is virtually as you would get from the maker. There are some very light marks on the makers mark side of the blade. They are mainly on the flats and are only visible in certain lights. I doubt I could get them to show up in a photo. Perhaps this is nit-picking as it may well be minor enough as to expect even when new, but I would rather fully disclose than risk disappointment.
The knife is right at 7 overall and has a hollow ground, machine satin CPM-S30V blade that is just over 3 long. The handles are a sturdy, titanium, liner-lock construction with Silver Twill G-10 overlays and a Carbon Fiber bolster. The clip is bead blasted in near perfect condition (one thin snail trail only visible in certain light). This is a great smaller EDC size with terrific ergonomics and its sturdy enough to hold up to EDC tasks. It is a washer design and while it is a good detent, it is from an era before the super-detent. As such, it does require a small wrist flick to fully open. It has a very solid, clean construction with great fit and finish. Locks up solid, closes perfectly centered. Asking $TRADED
