I'm trying to switch up the collection so here are some knives I'm putting up for trade. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have. If you need more details/specs/pictures, just shoot me a message and I'll have them sent over. If you're interested, feel free to start a conversation or email me at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com. I try to check my threads fairly often so chances are I'll see your posts as well. If you just want a straightforward sale, let me know and we can have something worked out. Thanks for taking a look.
For trades, I'm looking for: Jon Grahams, Ochs Worx, Yunas, Marlowes, Tashi collabs and customs, GTCs, Sharknivcos, RJ Martins, Dalibors, Broadwells, Black Snow Customs, VanderMeulens, Chris Goodwyns, Rogovets, Mosiers, Guthries, Rotten Designs, ZT 0454, G&G Deadlock, Rockstead Shun, and maybe a custom Emerson or just Striders in general but I'll 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. John W. Smith Small F-5 - like new
Small Sebenza sized flipper
3" blade with a flawless hand satin finish
Egg-shelled ti bolsters
Contoured and polished carbon fiber scales
Seamless transitions between materials
Runs on phosphor bronze washers, not 100% broken in yet but still flips open with a nice snap
Has a tiny bit of play that should go away as the lock breaks in
Centering is perfect
2. Jim Burke Runt Auto - near mint
One of the best designed small knives I've had
There were very few automatic Runts made and this is one of them
Only has 2.25" of cutting edge but feels like a much more substantial knife with the way it likes to be held in hand
Stonewashed blade with a satin main grind
The anodizing work is top notch, frame is tumbled blurple with a dot pattern that runs the spectrum
Blue backspacer with satin highs
Fits very well in hand
Opens 100% reliably
Locks up securely if you make sure the button-lock fully engages
Centering is dead on
3. Nova Blades Caiman - lightly carried
Very well built ball bearing flipper with a 3.75" CPM-S35VN reverse tanto blade
Blackwood carbon fiber front
Blackwashed blade
Blasted and tumbled ti lockside
Custom pivot
Mechanically perfect with a nicely dialed in detent
Flips reliably, locks with no play in any direction, carries well, and works great in hand
