If you have any questions about what's here, let me know and I'll do my best to help you out. For more details, specs, or pictures, just ask and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I don't get notifications for profile messages so PMs or shooting me an email at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com is the best way to reach me. I also check my threads every once in a while so I'll usually see your posts. I can work with you on the price for some of these and I'm open to trades. If you don't have much feedback or forum history, I might ask you to ship first. 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. The knives will come with what's shown unless otherwise stated. Thanks for taking a look.
For trades, I'm looking for: Grahams, Ochs, Yunas, Marlowes, Tashi collabs and customs, GTCs, Sharknivcos, RJ Martins, Dalibors, Careys, Black Snow Customs, VanderMeulens, Goodwyns, Lee Williams, ZT 0454, G&G Deadlock, an older full thickness Direware, Rockstead Shun, Skiffs, and maybe a custom Emerson or Strider. I'm always be open to other offers too. I like seeing what's out there and the worst I can do is pass. Cash can be added either way.
1. Jim Burke/Tashi Bharucha Villian Supersonic #3 - near mint - $2100
Jim only made 5-10 VSS's in collaboration with Tashi and this one is #3
Each one was a complete one off
This is one of the best built knives I've owned
Has a drop-shut smooth action on washers and it flips like a dream
Locks with no play in any direction
Symmetrical compound grind
Huge 4.25" blade but the knife overall is only about as thick as a Sebenza so it carries easier than you would expect
Has a full length geared backspacer with a red tritium insert
The darker part on the blade by the pivot on the lockside is just oil
2. Phantom Steelworks Operator XL - like new - $1800
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. SK Knives Lightspeed - lightly carried - $700
Classy looking folder with a nice pistol grip design
Hand satin 3.3" CTS-XHP blade
Twist damascus bolsters, clip, and backspacer
Lightning strike CF scales
The COA says there's zirc but I was told a previous owner had the maker swapped those pieces out for damascus
Filework on the back of the liners and on the lockbar
Smooth action, good centering, and locks with no play
