I have a Tom Mayo TNT prototype framelock folder with flat titanium handle slabs featuring a cool hole pattern and a handrubbed S30V wharncliffe blade for sale. Tom has an outstanding reputation bordering on legendary in the utility folder arena, and this prototype is a sterling example of his work
The TNT listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Tom is sharp. There are a few very light handling marks on the handle slabs, but aside from that, the knife appears to be in mint condition. The opening action is buttery smooth, the lock-up is rock solid with no blade play, and the blade centering is dead perfect.
***TRADED***
The specs:
Condition: Near mint
Blade length: 2 15/16" from tip to handle
Overall length: 6 3/4"
Blade thickness: 5/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: S30V
Blade finish: Handrubbed
Edge: Plain
Handle slab material: Titanium, beadblasted, with hole pattern
Lock: Titanium frame lock, beadblasted
Backspacer: 2 stand-offs, beadblasted
Clip: Tip down, titanium, beadblasted
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
Jim Burke
Rick Hinderer
Charles Marlowe
Jim Smyth
DB Fraley
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Bob Lum
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 other than a numbered Strider RC, or fixed blades other than those by Tim Galyean, Tom Krein, John Young, Jerry Hossom, or Russ Andrews.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
