I have a mint condition Jim Smyth liner lock flipper with polished black G-10 scales, some unique filework, and an S30V blade for sale. This knife is a really nicely designed utility folder, with a differential grind for a stronger tip, S-bolsters, and aggressive serrations on the thumb ramp.
The flipper has never been carried, used, or sharpened, and it still has its original edge from Jim. I can flip this knife open every time without any wrist movement, so the action is very smooth. The lock-up and blade centering are perfect.
What makes this particular flipper unique is the vine filework pattern in the backspacer. This is the only piece of this model that Jim did this filework for; to my knowledge, all of the others have standard serrations filed there. Jim does not take orders, and he only makes a small handful of knives every year, so opportunities to pick up this underrated up-and-comer's flippers are limited.
***TRADED***
The specs:
Condition: Mint, never used
Blade length: 3 3/8" from tip to bolster
Overall length: 8"
Blade thickness: 1/8" at serrated thumb ramp
Blade steel: S30V
Blade finish: Beadblasted
Edge: Plain
Bolsters: Titanium, beadblasted
Handle scale material: Black G-10, polished
Lock: Titanium liner lock, beadblasted
Clip: Tip down, beadblasted
For payment, I prefer money orders, but I will also accept cashier's checks, PayPal, and cash (at your own risk). If you are paying by PayPal, I will cover the fees, but I will only ship to a PayPal-confirmed address with that method of payment. Personal checks have to clear before I ship the knife.
I will consider trades or partial trades towards only the following on this one:
JL Williams framelocks or flippers
Carson folders
Deryk Munroe Chimera
Bogi flippers
Rick Hinderer Fire Whirl
Mayo large 6K TNT (spearpoint only)
Snody Retaliator folder
Draper damascus Sandstorm
Hossom Beltway Retribution or Reprisal (CPM 3V only)
4"-4 1/2" hunters by Jim Crowell or Russ Andrews
Timascus framelocks
Feel free to post, email, or PM any questions. Thanks for looking!
