For sale:
A flawless John Arnold Front Flipper. **Hand made and one of a kind** Mr. Arnold is a South African maker who uses the highest grade materials, has a great aesthetic sense, and produces knives that rival Thorburn in smoothness. His background as an architect influences his use of dramatic lines in both the shape of blade and handle. This knife is just as smooth (if not smoother) than any Thorburn I've owned or handled (probably over two dozen). There is zero blade-play, lock-up is rock-solid, and the blade sits dead-center. The knife has been sharpened to a very keen edge.
Price:SOLD (Paypal only - includes fees) Includes priority shipping and appropriate insurance.
Blade length: 3.30 in.
Total length: 8.40 in.
Blade width: 1.06 in.
Blade thickness: 0.13 in.
Item weight: 4.60 oz.
Blade: Twist pattern stainless damascus
Bolster: Carbon fiber
Handle: Presentation grade snakewood
Sheath: Fleece lined cordura pouch
Style: Folding front flipper with IKBS
The carbon fiber backbar is inlaid with MoonGlow II (luminescent polyester). This inlay glows in the dark.





Though I reserve the right to sell to whom I choose:
First "I'll take it" secures purchase power; please follow up with a PM or email for Paypal info. Please pay promptly - I reserve the right to terminate a potential sale if payment is not sent within four hours.
No trades please.
Buyer agrees that they are 18 years or older and that the knives are in compliance with the laws in their area - thus assuming all liability.
**All sales are final unless otherwise discussed**
