All of these are awesome IMO. They are for sell because I'm in exploration mode, and I'm happy with my small sebenza as an EDC. There's plenty of knives that I'm interested in, but my budget is limited. I will consider trades for small sebenzas with inlays, custom folders, custom slipjoints, custom fixed blades. Please no lowball offers. The descriptions from the maker are provided below. In the photos, knife 1 is at the top and knife 4 is at the bottom.
Prices include shipping, paypal fees, and insurance:
Knife 1: SPF
Notes: Fit and finish are superb. Lockup is early, no blade wiggle. There's a few small marks on the backspacer. Some of the acid etch near the blade tip is lighter.
Knife 2: Withdrawn
Notes: The size of this one is great. Not too big, not too small. Just right IMO. You can choose: 1) a little bit of side-to-side blade wiggle and the flipper works; or 2) blade is solid, but only flips halfway. Part of the detent ball track in visible on the blade near the bolster. Bolsters have fine line wear on them.
Knife 3: Withdrawn
Notes: Really nice form factor on this one. Chuck added some blade micarta inlays and additional flutes to the green scales. Includes clip (not shown). The flipper works great on this one! The core of the damascus is visible along the spine of the blade and the backspace. Only carried 1 or 2 times. Never cut anything. Closed blade is 10-15% off-center. Extended blade lock-up is solid.
Knife 4: Withdrawn
This one is skinny with a huge blade! Closed-blade is off-center by 10-15%. Extended blade lock-up is solid. No blade-play. There's a few random marks on the fattest part of the blade (probably from minor contact with the scales). There's 3 very small scratches near the lock bar. Needs to be sharpened.
Maker's description for knife 1:
This Med Puffin has a 3in blade made of 154CM. It sports a 2-Tone finish with satin flats and acid etched bevels. The titanium bolsters have been given my special heat coloring treatment which produces lots of colors and swirls. The scales are tan G-10. I anodized the liners purple and the pocket clip, screw heads and hardware have also been heat colored. The backspacer is tan G-10 with a black spacer in the center. Overall length is 7in.

Maker's description for knife 2 (custom order for forum member):
The blade is 3-1/2 in long, .145 thick made of 154CM. The main bevels are hollow ground, the false edge is flat ground and the tip is convex ground. The bolsters are titanium with a satin finish and I hid the bolster screws for a cleaner look. The scales are stabilized curly Koa. I anodized the Ti liners blue and textured the clip to reduce scratching. Both sides have been drilled and tapped for a 3 hole pocket clip. There is also the hidden lanyard pin you requested. The backspacer is also titanium and the open length is 7-5/8.
Maker's description for knife 3:
This is my latest flipper that I just finished up last night, no model name yet. I wanted to thank Peter Carey and Tom Watson for their advise on improving my flipper detent. This one works awesome with no wrist action needed.
The blade is 3-3/4in long made of Al May San-Mai damascus. It has a 1095 core and his wormwood pattern on top. The main bevels are hollow ground and the false edge is flat ground. I used the same damascus for the backspacer and you can see the core in the top of the blade and the center of the back spacer. .063Ti liners and green G-10 scales. I put 3 flutes on each side for grip and looks. Textured Ti pocket clip for tip up carry. Overall length is 8-1/4 open, 4-1/2 closed.
