I have a mint condition Jim Burke Combat Utility liner lock folder with F-22 carbon fiber handle scales and a handrubbed S30V clip point blade for sale. Over the past few years, Jim has become one of the premier tactical/utility folder makers in custom knives, combining painstaking precision with beefy toughness in his work. This particular Combat Utility folder is unique in that it is one of very few non-Resurrection folders to feature his signature skull thumbstud.

The Combat Utility listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Jim is very sharp. The action is extremely smooth, one of the smoothest I have felt in a folder, and knife opens easily with a flick of the thumb. I uploaded a video here to demonstrate the action. The lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering is just about dead perfect.

***SOLD***

The specs:

Condition: Mint
Blade length: 3 7/8" from tip to handle
Overall length: 9"
Blade thickness: Just over 5/32" at ricasso
Blade material: S30V

Handle scale material: F-22 carbon fiber
Lock: Titanium liner lock, orange peeled and anodized pale green
Backspacer: 2 large stand-offs, satin finished
Clip: Tip up, titanium, sandblasted and anodized pale green

For payment on this piece, I can take USPS money orders and PayPal (add 3% to cover most of the PayPal fees). I can also take a personal check if I know you. If you are paying by PayPal, 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. I reserve the right to wait for payments to clear before I ship.

I will consider trades (with appropriate cash adjustment) for custom folders and certain custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:

JL Williams
Charles Marlowe
Tim Galyean
Deryk Munroe
Jim Smyth
Kit Carson
Jim Burke
Gerry McGinnis
DB Fraley
Bob Lum
Mike Snody
Sal Manaro
Scott Cook
Ernie Emerson
Rick Hinderer
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Tom Mayo
Neil Blackwood
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Flavio Ikoma

I may consider trades for other custom folders or balis not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades other than those by John Young or Russ Andrews.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
