Knife 1 - Gedraitis Raptor
Notes: Bought this Raptor from someone else and had Gedraitis add an eye insert to the shark bite opener. The blade is 3-7/8in long and made of 154CM. The bolsters, liners and slip are titanium anodized blue. The clip has been textured to resist scratching. The scales are stabilized curly Koa and have great color, shimmer and character. The backspacer is also titanium. The screws are heat colored as well. Both sides have been drilled and tapped for the pocket clip. The overall open length is 8-7/8" and the closed length it is 4-7/8". Minor use by the previous owner. Early lock-up. With all screws tightened up, the closed blade is slightly left of center as shown and the knife is smooth and locks up tight. The blade will fall from the closed position if you shake the knife hard (not something people normally do other than to test the detent). If you loosen the pivot screw just a tad, you get a centered blade, super smooth action, a blade that comes out of detent position easier, and functional lockup with a tiny bit of wiggle. Figure out your preferred pivot screw tightness, add some loc-tite, and enjoy. Price was over $650 new from maker.
Price: $500

Knife 2 - Dave Kelly fixed blade with damascus blade and burnt Sambar stag handle
Notes: Pictures speak 1000 words. Enjoy! Time worn burnt Sambar stag; milled wrought iron guard with fluted ferrule and matching butt cap; 4 1/8" 1084/15N20 Carbon Damascus hollow ground blade; overall length of 9"; include the maker's leather sheath; and padded leather zipper case.
Condition: Excellent! very minor scuffing visible on guard from insertion into sheath or resting on table. Could be buffed out.
