If you have any questions about what's listed just let me know and I'll try 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 pay via F&F, assume all risks, and cover the cost of shipping. Thanks for your time.

For trades, I'm looking for: Yunas, DireWares, GTC's, Southards, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Rocksteads, Phantom Steelworks, Kirby Lamberts, Dalibors, a Todd Begg Beggatti, Rassentis, a Demko AD15, Dervish customs, Jon Graham folders, Grimsmos, non-locking MSC PT, and maybe a custom Emerson or Strider but if you have other offers, I'm happy to hear them. Cash can be added either way.

Number 195
Hex-patterned front side
Blue anodized frame with polished highs and edges
Has been lightly carried but the majority of the wear is on the ano of the clip
The action is about as smooth as it gets, drops free even when the pivot is tight
Locks up solid with no play in any direction
It's one of the earlier Norsemans so the centering favors the lockside by a hair; doesn't come close to rubbing though

7. Andre De Villiers Tac-Butcher - like new - $650
Two-tone blade with satin flats, mirror polished grinds, and a mirror polished fuller
Tri-tone handle with satin highs, blasted lows, and polished edges
Polished carbon fiber scale
All the hardware has been anodized a bronze purple
Has a few very faint handling marks but other than that, mint
The marks on the blade are fingerprints, not scratches
Locks up tight with no play and centering is dead on
Action is smooth and responsive and it's designed to fit in the hand nicely

8. Alan Folts One-Off Prototype - near mint - $625
Alan is known for making complete one-offs so I think this is the only one of it's kind
It is marked as a prototype on the inside of the liner
The bolstered scales feel seamless and the pattern on the front scale matches perfectly
The liners, pivot, and body screws are anodized purple
Handle is fairly thick so it gives you a very comfortable grip
Blade is thin so it slices like a champ
Runs on IKBS and you have to make a conscious effort to not have the blade fly open
There is a bit of up-and-down play but not enough to affect the function
Centering is dead on
