If you have any questions about what's listed, just let me know and I'll do my best to help you out. For more details, specs, or pictures, ask and ye shall receive. You can reach me through private message or through my email: kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. I can work with you on the price for some of these and I'm open to trades. Prices include all shipping and PayPal fees in the US. I'll be happy to ship international but the buyer will need to assume all risks and help cover the cost of shipping. Thanks for your time.

For trades, I'm looking for: Jon Grahams, Ochs Worx, Yunas, Marlowes, Tashi collabs and customs, GTCs, Sharknivcos, RJ Martins, Dalibors, Broadwells, Black Snow Customs, VanderMeulens, Chris Goodwyns, Rogovets, Mosiers, Guthries, Rotten Designs, ZT 0454, G&G Deadlock, Rockstead Shun, and maybe a custom Emerson or just Striders in general but if you have other offers, I'm happy to hear other offers. I like seeing what's out there and the worst I can do is pass. Cash can be added either way.

With everything that's going on, I've decided to list a chunk of my personal collection. I've owned most of these for a while. Some were carried. Some were safe queens. I would keep them if I could but cash could get tight soon so they're on the chopping block.

1. Glenn Are Hovin Foniks #4 - like new - $5000
Beautiful handmade custom from Stan Wilson's student
Stan Wilson style hidden hardware construction
3.75" deeply etched twist damasteel blade
Custom pivot setup with an inset ring of black lip mother of pearl as a pivot collar
Contoured ti frame with an egg-shell finish and satin edges
Interior jeweling
Sculpted damasteel clip
Zirconium scales and full length zirc backspacer
Glenn doesn't work with zirconium anymore so this is a rare bird
Has a nice strong detent and a snappy double-click action
Feels great in hand, locks with no play in any direction, and centering is dead on

2. Sergio Consoli N° 281 - near mint - $1500
Seriously impressive flipper that's handmade by an Italian Knife Guild Maestro
Almost 4" blade with a flawless hand satin
Contoured lightning strike CF scales that have been perfectly polished, I don't feel any wires poking out
Clip is made from lightning strike CF as well and it goes in and out of pocket smoothly
Liners have a satin finish on the inside and are polished on the edges
Full length bronzed ti backspacer that's satin finished on the inside
The top on the backspacer has some faint marks
Polished custom pivot
Blade flies open with a snap and drops when you disengage the lock
Locks with no play at all

3. Jerry Moen Custom Mongoose - like new - $525
3.5" RWL-34 recurve blade with satin flats, mirror polished grinds, and high polished edges
Frame is fully contoured and has a honeycomb pattern
Satin pivot collars
DLC coated inset lockbar
DLC coated gear pattern backspacer
Blind screwed 2-tone clip with a Begg style ceramic ball
Has a snappy detent and it;s smooth enough to drop shut
Centering is good and lockup is solid

4. Steve Ryan One-Off - lightly carried - $625
Hands down the thinnest folder I've seen
Blade stock is 0.070" and overall thickness is just 0.280"
2-tone satin blade that measures 3.5"
Flamed and blasted ti frame
Has some light marks on the frame
Since the knife is so thin, the framelock will slip if a lot of force is applied to the spine but it will lock up solid if you put any pressure on the lockbar, like in a normal grip
Smooth action
My angle is a bit off in the photo so it's hard to tell but centering is dead on

5. Curtiss Knives Nano Flipper - brand new in pouch - $475
Recent build from 2 months ago
2" flipper that gives you a full grip
Stonewashed CTS-XHP blade
Matte stonewashed frame with some nice milling
Very smooth action on that SPOT pivot, it would drop shut if the blade was heavier
Strong detent, this little thing really snaps open with authority
Blade is dead center but the blade is ground slightly asymmetrically at the tip, making it look like it's favoring the front
Feels great in hand and it locks with zero play

6. Collins Custom Knives Sligo - lightly carried - $675
3.25" Z-Wear blade with 2-tone satin
Satin finished zirconium front slab
Zirc pivot screw
Blasted lockside
Mokuti backspacer
There's no major wear but there are some marks and snail trails on both sides of the frame
Centering is good, action is smooth and it locks with no play
