I have a Kim Breed folder with stag handle scales, damascus bolsters, and an etched damascus drop point blade for sale. Kim is a retired Special Forces officer and a Blade Magazine field editor, and he makes some very nice knives. This particular piece is one of his most EDC-friendly folders ever, with a pocket clip and good size (4 1/8" blade length).
Although I am not absolutely sure of the origin of the damascus in the blade, bolsters, and backspacer of this folder, I believe that it was forged by Kim himself, which would make this knife a sole authorship piece. The thumbstud is inlaid with with a sapphire cabochon.
The Breed folder listed here has been carried and used lightly, and it has been carefully resharpened. It is still in great shape overall, and the current edge is sharp. The opening action is smooth, and the lock-up is rock solid.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Carried and used lightly
Blade length: 4 1/8" from tip to bolster
Overall length: 9 1/8"
Blade thickness: Just under 5/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: Forged damascus
Blade finish: Etched
Edge: Plain
Bolsters: Forged damascus
Handle scale material: Stag
Lock: Titanium liner lock, orange peeled
Backspacer: Damascus, polished and heat blued

For payment on this piece, I strongly prefer USPS money orders, but I will also accept PayPal or personal check if I know you. 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 trades (with appropriate cash adjustment) for custom folders and custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:
JL Williams
Charles Marlowe
Tim Galyean
Bob Lum
Sal Manaro
Kit Carson
Deryk Munroe
Gerry McGinnis
Scott Cook
Jim Burke
Ernie Emerson
Rick Hinderer
Jim Smyth
DB Fraley
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Tom Mayo
Neil Blackwood
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Flavio Ikoma (balis only)
Mauricio Dobruski (balis only)
I may consider trades for other custom folders not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades other than those by John Young or Russ Andrews.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
