Looking to switch up the collection. If you have any offers, let me know and I'll help you out. I don't get notifications for profile messages so PMs or shooting me an email at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com is going to be the best way to reach me. I also check my threads every once in a while so I'll usually see your posts. If you'd prefer a straightforward sale, just shoot me a message. If you don't have much feedback or forum history, I might ask you to ship first. Nothing personal, just the world that we live in. I'll be happy to ship international but the buyer will need to assume all risks. I'll try to show everything they come with. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for taking a look.

For trades, I'm looking for: Grahams, Ochs, Marlowes, a Yuna Pran, Tashi collabs and customs, Marshs, MSC AR Gut Shovel, custom Emerson flipper, GTCs, Sharknivcos, Careys, Black Snow Sabotage, Mayos, Burchs, VanderMeulen Homicide, Burke/Williams Kickstop Rebel, Lee Williams Iceman, G&G Orbit, a full thickness Direware Solo, Graham Ringed Rhino, and a Rockstead Shun. I'm always be open to other offers. 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
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 - Traded
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
A user Avenger that was sent back to RJ to have the damascus blade re-etched and re-sharpened
Hasn't been used it since it got back so it hasn't been broken in
You can only barely see some old scratches on the blade
The clip and black crinkle coating on the frame were untouched and still has some old wear
4" mosaic damascus blade
Gator scale textured silver twill overlays

4. Phantom Steelworks Micro DUB Impact - near mint
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
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
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
