I had this one on layaway for a friend, but he got into a serious motorcycle accident and had to back out. I'm pleased to report that he will be OK and is recovering well, and he has given me his blessing to put this one back up for sale so I can pay off some wedding bills.
This one is a mint condition tactical framelock collaboration between Hawaiian knifemakers George Gibo and Carl Zakabi for sale. This is a big and beautiful knife, with a 4" handrubbed S30V blade and a 5" handrubbed titanium handle with the edges anodized ice blue. The inside of the frame is jeweled and also anodized ice blue.
Gibo and Zakabi refer to themselves collectively as "Kanaka Tech", and for this knife, Zakabi ground the blade while Gibo constructed the handle and parts and put the knife together. Although both of them are known more for more artsy stuff, many of you will agree with me from the pics that they make a great mean tactical framelock that looks good, too.
The knife is in mint condition and has never been carried, used, or sharpened. It still has its original edge from George and Carl. The lock-up is solid and very strong, and the blade centering is perfect.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Mint
Blade length - 4" from tip to handle
Overall length - 9"
Blade thickness - 1/8" at serrated thumb ramp
Blade steel - S30V
Blade finish - Handrubbed
Edge - Plain
Handle material - Titanium, handrubbed with the edges polished and anodized ice blue
Lock - Titanium frame lock
Clip - Tip down, polished
For payment, I prefer money orders, but I will also accept cashier's checks, PayPal, and cash (at your own risk). If you are paying by PayPal, I will cover the fees, but the payment has to be sent with a PayPal-confirmed address (including the green "confirmed" marker) listed in the invoice, and I will only ship to that PayPal-confirmed address. Personal checks have to clear before I ship the knife.
Cash is king, since I have bills to pay, but I am dying to get a Galyean flipper, so I will happily consider any potential trade involving one. I may also consider the following trades (+ or - cash):
JL Williams framelocks or flippers
Carson folders (including C2O)
Onion flippers
Munroe folders
Marlowe folders
Mayo medium or large damascus TNT
Blackwood Curr
Bogi flippers (except Mini-Cobra)
Hinderer Firetac with damascus or 6K blade or Fire Whirl bali
Burke Mini-Resurrection or Predator
DB Fraley Torrent framelock flipper
Feel free to post, email, or PM any questions. Thanks for looking!
