Hi everyone. I'm on the hunt for some new steel so here are some knives up for trade. I'll be here to answer any questions you might have about what you see. I can give more details, specs, and pictures if you ask. If you're interested, feel free to contact me through private message or email. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. If you just want a straightforward sale, let me know and we can have something worked out. Thanks for looking.
For trades, I'm looking for: Yunas, DireWares, Southards, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Rocksteads, Greg Lightfoots, Neil Blackwoods, Phantom Steelworks, a Todd Begg Beggatti, Rassentis, a Demko AD15, Dervish Alchemy XL, Grimsmo Norseman, Graham folder, a custom Emerson, custom Strider, or a good production knife but if you have any other offers, I'm happy to hear them. Cash can be added either way.
If you are planning to send me an email through the forum, please post on the thread as well to let me know. Some of those are lost in transit and never reach my mailbox.
1. Medford TFF-1 Fat Daddy - very good condition - Traded
Tumbled D2 blade with a tumbled handle
It's as thick as a Praetorian Ti but is still comfortable to hold
There are some light scratches on the front side of the blade and on the clip but the finish helps hide some of them
Centering favors the front side by a hair
Rock solid lockup with no stick and smooth action
It has a very stiff detent now but I think it should break in over time
2. Medford The General - brand new in box - Traded
Tumbled D2 blade with a vulcan finish in the thumbslot
Tumbled Ti handle
Not yet broken it
Action is smooth out of the box but there is a bit of lockstick that will go away over time
Never carried or used
Lockup is rock solid and centering is perfect
3. Doc Shiffer Custom Designated Marksman - like new
Very well made 3.75"-4" flipper
Hamon on the blade
Sculpted bronze working finish titanium handle with polished highs
Gear-pattern backspacer
If you grab the blade and really force it, there is the slightest bit of up-and-down play but zero side-to-side, doesn't affect the function at all
It has one of the best actions I've handled, liquid smooth and it will open regardless of how you use the flipper
The blade sits dead center in the handle
Feels great in hand in a number of different grips
4. Jason Clark Kwaiken - good condition
CTS-XHP blade
Gold-bronze anodized bolster, liner, lockside, and clip
Natural canvas micarta scale
Checkering on the top of the flipper and on the backspacer
This one has been carried and used. There is wear on the ano of the ti, especially on the bolster.
The blade has some light scratches and the edge could use a light touch-up.
You have to be careful when adjusting the pivot screw. It's close to being stripped but still works fine with the right sized bit.
Everything still functions perfectly and a trip back to Jason could have it like new
Feels great in hand
Blade sits dead center and there is zero up-and-down play
Action is extremely smooth and free, flips as fast as you want it to
5. Mikkel Willumsen Mansum - near mint
Hand rubbed satin 3.75" blade
Sculpted brown and black G-10 scale
There are a few light snail trails in the blasted ti
Solid lockup and smooth action
Centering slightly favors the presentation side but doesn't rub
6. Custom Knife Factory Sablya Relic One-Off - brand new in pouch
This is a Sablya that CKF set aside specifically to be made into a one-off; it isn't a customized numbered Sablya
An incredible amount of work has been put into this one
"Relic" M390 blade; the more you look at it, the more you see
Carbon fiber inlays
Relic finished handle that transitions into an anodized and tumbled rock texture
Flamed body screws
Fast and responsive action; the blade flies open when you pull back on the flipper
Solid lockup and the blade drops freely
Blade sits dead center
Comes with all the paperwork and the padded pouch
