I have a mint condition Kirby Lambert Sniper liner lock flipper with contoured desert tan G-10 handle scales, OD green canvas micarta bolsters, and a handrubbed S30V recurve blade for sale. Kirby is one of the premier makers of tactical/utility folders today, and this piece is a great example of his exemplary work. This particular Sniper is rarer than the norm in that it has a fully handrubbed blade instead of the handrubbed flats and machine satin grinds that you typically see on this model from Kirby.

The Sniper listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Kirby is very sharp. The flip action is fast and smooth, and the blade opens easily with no wrist needed whatsoever. I uploaded a brief video here to demonstrate the action. The lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering is dead perfect.

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
Deryk Munroe
Bob Lum
Kit Carson
Gerry McGinnis
Mike Snody
Sal Manaro
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!
