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 Oni, Ochs Persian, Yunas, Marlowes, Tashi collabs and customs, Mayos, GTCs, Sharknivcos, Dalibors, Careys, Black Snow Customs, VanderMeulen Homicide, Goodwyns, Lee Williams Iceman, ZT 0454, G&G Deadlock, an older full thickness Direware, Rockstead Shun, MSC AR Gut Shovel. 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 - $1800
Jim made about 5-10 VSS's with Tashi. This is #3
Has a drop-shut action on washers
No play in any direction and the lock makes full contact with the tang
Symmetrical compound grind
Tall 4.25" blade
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 EDCi

2. Brad Southard Dowling - like new - $2200
A function first 3.75" hawkbill built perfect
Not sure how many Dowlings he's made but this is the only one in MEFP
Fit and finish is perfect
Glass smooth action, locks with no play, and centering is dead on

3. RJ Martin Avenger - carried - $1600
A well carried Avenger that was sent back to RJ to have the blade refinished to bring back the etch. Still re-breaking in.
I haven't used it since it got back. You can just barely see some old scratches on the blad
The clip and black crinkle coating on the frame have some wear
4" mosaic damascus blade
Gator scale textured silver twill overlays

4. Phantom Steelworks Micro DUB Impact - near mint - $875
Fully murdered
CPM-154 chisel tanto blade that comes in at around 3" and has his jigged texture
Textured, contoured, blasted, and flamed frame
Flips great, locks with no play, and is perfectly centered as far as I can tell with the chisel grind

5. Philip Booth Destiny - lightly carried - $550
3.7" blade in CPM-154 with a reflective 2-tone hand satin
Contoured lightning strike carbon fiber scales with a copper stripe inlaid on both side
Polished liners
Hand satin clip with a copper standoff
Action is glass smooth, flips well, and locks up tight
Centering seems to favor the front side by a hair

6. Pat Hammond Boneyard Flipper - like new - $1900
Very well made 3.75" flipper that's extensively hand carved on both sides
Reminds me a lot of a Bodega with the size, proportions, and how it handles and flips
Hand satin blade
Just perfectly finished. It's anodized a consistent iridescent green on both sides with an iridescent red on the backspacer
Carved bone lockbar
Fully shaped and textured bone clip
Snaps open when you pull the flipper and locks with no play
