Koenig Mini Arius Style 57

[jweb565]

Mini Arius Style 57 in excellent condition. Second owner, no disassembly. Perfect lockup, centering, and action.

There is a small snail on the pocket clip which is only visible at certain angles (see pic) but otherwise the knife is mint.

Comes with box and COA.

Table on these was $1350; knocking $150 off for the barely visible snail on the clip.

SV 1200

Is this knife still available?

It's not although I have a non-flipper version of the same knife if you're interested. It's a bit pricier though since the NFs are much rarer (and higher table price as well). Let me know if you might be interested and I can send you pics and such

I appreciate the update on both knives. But I was at my max limit on the flipper version. So even though I’d love to go for the NF I really have to pass on it. Thanks for the information and quick reply. Have a good evening,

You as well! Cheers

I’ve thought about it overnight and I still don’t know if I can swing it (I’m a 78 year old retiree), but I would like to see some photos of the knife and know the asking price for the knife. Also the D.O.B.
Thank you.

Hey there! I actually just sold the one I was talking about with you before. I do have another one, which to be honest I'm not entirely sure I want to sell, but I might be willing to let it go if you're interested. It has been fidgeted with and fell off my bed once and hit another knife which caused a very small blemish on the lock side scale near the pivot (I've pointed this out in the video) but is otherwise mint. Never been carried outside of a protective pouch, and never cut anything.

I paid 1500 for it -- table price directly from Koenig is 1450 -- so considering the blemish I'd be open to offers in the 1400 range. That's probably a bit high given the current market for other Koenigs, but this one is pretty dear to me (and there are only 15 of these in existence anyway, so it's unlikely you'll find another any time soon).

I've attached a photo of the knife and COA, and here's a video I just made:

Let me know what you think! Happy to discuss any time or provide any other pictures or video you may need.

Cheers

1. Good question! Koenig serializes the mini 57 flippers and non-flippers together, and there are a grand total of 75 that have been made so far; 60 flippers and 15 non-flippers.

2. I might consider meeting you at 1350 if you could do that.

3. I'd be open to discussing options along these lines. One thing to note is that I can only accept CashApp at the moment. Let me know what you think. Probably preferable to take the discussion to DMs from here if you want to move forward.

Thanks!
