I have a mint condition Kershaw Boa liner lock Speed-Safe flipper opener with multi-color anodized aluminum handle scales and a satin finished S60V blade for sale. This variant of Kershaw's popular Ken Onion design model has long been discontinued and is a pretty rare find nowadays. The S60V in the blade is known for extremely high wear resistance (even higher than that of S30V), which contributes to its ability to hold an edge very well.
The Boa listed here never been carried, used, or resharpened, and the original edge on it from Kershaw is sharp. There are no marks on this piece that I can find. The Speed-Safe assisted opening action is fast and smooth, the lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering, while not perfect, is excellent. The box and instructions are included.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Mint
Blade length: 3 1/2" from tip to handle
Overall length: 8 1/8"
Blade thickness: 5/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: S60V (CPM 440V)
Blade finish: Satin
Edge: Plain
Handle material: 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum, textured and multi-color anodized
Lock: Liner lock, stonewashed
Backspacer: 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum, beadblasted and multi-color anodized
Clip: Interchangeable between tip-up and tip-down carry, coated black
For payment on this piece, I strongly prefer USPS money orders, but I will also accept PayPal or personal check. If you are paying by PayPal, I will cover the fees, but the payment has to be sent with a PayPal-confirmed address (including the green "confirmed" marker) listed in the invoice, and I will only ship to that PayPal-confirmed address. I reserve the right to wait for personal checks to clear before I ship.
I will consider a partial trade towards a variety of custom folders. Some custom fixed blades, such as those by Tim Galyean, Tom Krein, Jerry Hossom, John Young, and Russ Andrews, would interest me as well. Of course, in a trade for this knife, I would add cash or other knives.
I am not interested in serrated blades or other production knives.
Feel free to post, email, or PM any questions. Thanks for looking!
