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, Yunas, Marlowes, Direwares, GTCs, Southards, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Rocksteads, Dalibors, Mayos, Broadwells, Black Snow Customs, Phantom Steelworks, Kirby Lamberts, Burkes, Ochs, Blackwoods, VanderMeulens, Jason Clarks, Rassentis, Demkos, MSC XL Yeti, some Shirogorovs, Grimsmos, Marfione MSG-3, DOC, ZT 0454, 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.
These are from my personal collection so I'm mostly listing them for cash. I honestly don't want to get rid of them. Most of these won't be re-listed and I might pull them at any time. I'm still open to trades like always but I'm going to have to be very picky.
1. Jeffrey Harkins Italia - like new - $2300
Prototype from 2003, marked on the backspacer
Dual action hidden scale release auto made by the king of autos
Only Italia with a sculpted custom clip made for it ($200 upgrade)
Stiletto-style 4.25" hand satin blade
Tumbled frame with 4 seamless black micarta inlays
Manual action is glass smooth
Auto action strong and 100% reliable
Lockup is secure
Centering just favors the front by a slight hair
This one was a bit beat up when I first got it so I sent it out to Jeff and paid to have it completely restored
It's in the same condition as when I got it back a few months ago
According to the maker himself, he would sell a normal Italia for $2500, more for this one since it's a prototype with a clip
2. TuffKnives Catalyst - near mint - $2250
Two-tone 3.75" CTS-XHP blade with satin flats and lightly acidwashed grinds
Front handle slab is made from a solid piece of whirlpool-pattern mokuti
The clip and back pivot collar are also mokuti
The front pivot collar and backspacer is made from zirconium
Lockside is ti with an egg-shell finish
Has a stiff detent so the blade flies open every time once you get used to it
Nearly drop-shut smooth on caged bearings
Centering is dead on
The knife is still fairly new so the lockup is still early, it's built to break in over time
Just back from spa with Geoff
