I have a mint condition Matt Cucchiara Batwing framelock folder with hand carved titanium handle slabs, a hand carved titanium pocket clip, and a satin-finished S30V recurve blade for sale. Matt is one of the top makers of tactical/utility folders around, and his work is becoming more difficult to obtain, since he no longer takes orders. He calls this one the "Spooky Batwing". The deep relief Grim Reaper carving in the handle of this piece is a great example of how far his work has progressed recently.

The carved Scrapper listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Matt is very sharp. The opening action is very smooth, the lock-up is solid with no blade play, and the blade centering is just about dead perfect.

***SOLD***

The specs:

Condition: Mint
Blade length: 3" from tip to handle
Overall length: 7"
Blade thickness: 5/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: S30V
Blade finish: Handrubbed flats, satin grinds
Edge: Plain
Handle slab material: Titanium, hand carved
Lock: Titanium frame lock, beadblasted
Backspacer: 1 stand-off, satin finished
Clip: Tip up, titanium, hand carved

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
Tim Galyean
Kit Carson
Deryk Munroe
Gerry McGinnis
Jim Burke
Rick Hinderer
Charles Marlowe
Jim Smyth
DB Fraley
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Bob Lum
Scott Cook
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 Tim Galyean, John Young, Jerry Hossom, or Russ Andrews.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
