I have a mint condition Kirby Lambert Whar framelock folder with heat colored titanium handle slabs, silver twill G-10 overlays, and a handrubbed S30V swedged wharncliffe blade for sale. Kirby is one of the hottest custom makers around and puts out some of the toughest built custom folders built today. This Whar framelock is no exception, with handle slabs nearly 1/8" thick. It also features his "Gouge Grip" overlay pattern, where the overlays are shaped to aid grip and contoured to aid comfort. There is an MOP cabochon inlaid into the thumbstud.
The Whar framelock listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Kirby is very sharp. The opening action is very smooth, the lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering is just about dead perfect.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Mint
Blade length: 3 1/2" from tip to handle
Overall length: 7 3/4"
Blade thickness: 5/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: S30V
Blade finish: Handrubbed
Edge: Plain
Handle slab material: Titanium, beadblasted and heat colored, with silver twill G-10 "Gouge Grip" overlays
Lock: Titanium frame lock, beadblasted and heat colored
Backspacer: 2 oversized stand-offs, heat colored
Clip: Tip up, titanium, beadblasted and heat colored
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!
