I have a Matt Cucchiara Climax framelock flipper with hand carved titanium handle slabs and a handrubbed CPM 154 swedged recurve blade for sale. Matt is one of the top custom makers in the game today with regard to framelocks and flippers, and this piece is a fine example of the quality of his work. He calls this unique piece the "Fishy Climax", and the knife features a removable carved titanium backspacer.
I am not the first owner of the Climax listed here, but it does not appear to have ever been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Matt is very sharp. The flip action is smooth, and the knife opens easily in any orientation without any need for wrist at all. I uploaded a brief video here to demonstrate the action. The lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering is near perfect.
Price is $1250, which includes USPS Priority Mail insured shipping with delivery confirmation within the US. I will ship internationally, but international shipping charges must be paid in addition to the listed price of the knife, and international buyers must assume all risk of loss in shipping or seizure in customs. Trade offers are welcome.
The specs:
Condition: Appears mint
Blade length: 4" from tip to handle
Overall length: 9"
Blade thickness: Just over 3/16" at ricasso
Blade material: S30V
Blade finish: Handrubbed
Edge: Plain
Handle slab material: Titanium, carved and anodized blue
Lock: Titanium frame lock, anodized blue
Backspacer: Titanium, carved
Clip: Tip up, titanium, carved and anodized blue
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, I will only ship to a 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
Jens Anso
Flavio Ikoma
Michael Burch
I may consider trades for other custom folders or balis not listed above, especially those with Stellite 6K blades. 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!
