I have a Kirby Lambert Whar framelock folder with 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 available today. This Whar framelock is no exception, with 1/8" handle slabs. 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 does not appear to have ever been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Kirby is very sharp. There are a few light handling marks on the edges of the frame. The opening action is very smooth, and the knife opens easily with a good flick of the thumb. I uploaded a video here to demonstrate the action. The lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering is just about dead perfect.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Near 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, with silver twill G-10 "Gouge Grip" overlays
Lock: Titanium frame lock, beadblasted
Backspacer: 2 oversized stand-offs, heat colored
Clip: Tip up, titanium, beadblasted and heat colored
For payment on this piece, I can take USPS money orders and PayPal (add 3% in the US to cover most of the fees, 4% outside of the US). I can also take a personal check if I know you. If you are paying by PayPal, 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 payments to clear before I ship.
I will consider trades (with appropriate cash adjustment) for custom folders and certain custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:
JL Williams
Charles Marlowe
Tim Galyean
Deryk Munroe
Jim Smyth
Kit Carson
Jim Burke
Gerry McGinnis
DB Fraley
Bob Lum
Mike Snody
Sal Manaro
Scott Cook
Ernie Emerson
Rick Hinderer
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Tom Mayo
Neil Blackwood
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Flavio Ikoma
I may consider trades for other custom folders or balis 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!
