FSOT: Les Voorhies Model 11 Flipper (Titanium handle & scales + IKBS + S30V blade)
I am also looking for a Microtech UMS Automatic Knife (or Mini version UMS) & a Microtech Carbon Fiber Scarab OTF S/E Auto!
TRADES will be for only the knives described below. They will most likely involve cash as well, as I am sure that the value of the traded knives will be different. Any offers of knives other than that described below in the thread will be disregarded. Thank you.
Description:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Les Voorhies Model 11 handcrafted by knifemaker and PKA member Les Voorhies. This folder has super smooth IKBS action with a flipper that protrudes from the blade when closed for quick opening. The razor sharp blade is ground from S30V stainless steel and has a satin finish. Les composed the frame of the knife of lightweight titanium and has beveled the edges for a comfortable feel in the hand. Bronze/Gold anodized titanium overlays have been attached to the frame with torx screws. A titanium backspacer has been added which extends a bit past the blade for attachment of a lanyard.
Specification:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Blade - 3.6", .140 thick CPM S30V, w/ two-tone satin finish
Handle - 4.4", .090" thick titanium liners & titanium scales
Overall - 8"
Pivot - 3/16" hardened pivot w/ IKBS
Other - Strong detent, zero wrist action required to flip. Titanium tip-up pocket clip.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is one of my favorite knives. It is the most excellent flipper I have ever held, let alone owned. Les is known for his supreme craftsmanship and I can vouch for him, as I am sure many other can.
The knife is in near mint condition. I have flipped the blade open using the back flipper several times, but it has never been used, and has always been stored in the padded case that it came in. I purchased it no more than a few weeks ago.
Here is a link to the actual sale where I purchased the knife from BladeHQ:
LINK to SALE
I paid $599 mint.
I am asking $555 delivered.
I accept PayPal & Money Orders. Please PM me if you are interested in purchasing the knife, if you have a question about it, or just want to offer cash, cash & trade, or some other form of a trade.
Right now, I am only interested in a Microtech LUDT Auto Knife (out-of-production small versions), Custom Balisongs (Les Voorhies Model 1, with Titanium skeletonized, anodized handles, Microtech Balisongs, and possibly Benchmade Balisongs (not a 42)...etc.) or a very nice STRIDER SMF-CC/SNG-CC
The Les Voorhies is the middle knife in my picture of it below. It is in the same condition as when it arrived:
