I'm trying to switch up the collection so here are some knives I'm putting up for trade. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have. If you need more details/specs/pictures, just shoot me a message and I'll have them sent over. If you're interested, feel free to start a conversation or email me at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com. I try to check my threads fairly often so chances are I'll see your posts as well. If you just want a straightforward sale, let me know and we can have something worked out. Thanks for taking a look.
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, Phantom Steelworks, Jim Burkes, VanderMeulens, Chris Goodwyns, Rogovets, Ansos, Mosiers, Grimsmos, 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 them. Cash can be added either way.
1. Greg Lightfoot 370z - like new
Somewhat recent one-off build of the 370z
I custom ordered this one and got it direct from Greg
Never been used, trade value is the maker price
Greg is known for making asymmetrical designs, this is the only Lightfoot with a full scale in front and a bolstered back (it's usually the other way around)
Groserosen damasteel recurve tanto blade with an asymmetrical swedge
Damasteel floating backspacer with jimping
Hybrid wood scales
Amoeba-pattern black timascus bolster and clip
Custom 2-tone pivot
There is blade play on this one, I'm sure Greg would fix it if it bugs you
Centering is dead on, action is smooth, and it fires open every time
Comes with the hard case and COA
2. Phantom Steelworks Operator XL - like new
The biggest folder Chris made, not many were made
The blade, frame, clip, and both sides of the pivot have been murdered (textured)
4.5" blade in CPM-3V and with his unique "unearthed" finish
The entire front side and the clip are timascus and the texture makes it really shimmer in the light
Lockside is flamed ti
Inside of the frame is blasted
Has the best action I've felt on a Phantom Steelworks
Snaps open with a nice double-click and locks up tight
Centering is dead on
3. Jeff VanderMeulen Mini Intro - carried
3.25" bowie blade with a hand satin
Blackwashed bolsters and liners
Polished and contoured carbon fiber scales
Sculpted mokuti clip
Has been used so there are some light scratches on the blade
Runs on washers but still flips great
Lockup is rock solid
Centering very slightly favors the front side but it's hard to tell
