Up for sale are several high-end folders. No trades at this time—I'm trying to build up funds for CCKS in November. All shipping will be via USPS (sig req'd) to the continental US within 1-2 business days. All knives come with their original retail packaging and accessories.
Previously listed a few weeks ago was this Medford Praetorian Slim, LNIB, non-flipper, with tanto S45VN blade, violet laurel leaf filigree design, and blue hardware. Please review the previous thread here for the specifics about its condition. Now asking $475 (or $460 PPFF/Zelle).

Next up is a light user CRK Umnumzaan with S45VN Tanto blade. The edge has been touched up and the knife was disassembled, cleaned, and lubed for sale. The blade is pristine but there are some signs of carry, including snail trails by the pivot on the show side and more snail trails along the edge of the clip-side scale, both visible in the photos. This knife was carried and used very lightly for opening a few boxes over a couple of weeks and then put away because I can't stand the action on it. There's absolutely nothing functionally wrong with it, I just don't like it aesthetically. I guess I'm an outlier in that respect. But it is yet another outstanding example of CRK's quality and engineering. SOLD!
ETA: The Lynch Northwest clip is *not* included! Sorry for not mentioning that before.

Next is a LNIB Chaves Liberation Silver Bullet—full titanium with orange peel texture on scales and clip (includes non-skull clip with same finish). This is not a numbered Limited Edition as some of them seem to be but it was purchased from an authorized Chaves dealer (https://thanhvnguyen.com/). This was never carried or used but instead was kept in storage, only taken out a couple of times to flip and fidget with. This knife is the only knife I would ever describe as "dangerously sharp," and a word of warning: there is a design flaw with this model in that when the knife is closed, the blade edge sits very close to the edge of the scales where a careless fingertip can easily graze it. Don't ask me how I know... Anyway, never sharpened or disassembled. Action is solid, centering and lockup are perfect, no defects cosmetic or otherwise. Asking $340 PPGS or $325 PPFF/Zelle.

And finally, I have a Spartan Harsey Folder "Golden Compass" 2019 Special Edition, S45VN. This was not at all a user but was carried a couple of times to show off to friends and coworkers and sadly has an immediately obvious sign of wear that looks like it came in contact with a pocket rivet on my jeans. There is a scratch in the PVD finish on the spine of the blade that's easily visible in the photos. Also, there is some odd unevenness to the matte finish and streaking to the PVD coating on the blade. This is how the knife arrived and was not caused by any use but it’s likely to bother other collectors as much as it bothers me, hence the heavily reduced price combined with the other blemish. Besides all that, it's already broken in and flicks open with authority and buttery smoothness. Has the original razor-sharp factory edge and has never been touched up, nor the knife disassembled. SOLD!
