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 start a conversation or email me at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com. 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, GTC's, Southards, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Rocksteads, Phantom Steelworks, Kirby Lamberts, Lightfoots, Dwaine Carrillos, Dalibors, Jason Clarks, Broadwells, a Todd Begg Beggatti, Rassentis, a Demko AD15, Skike Rogue Shark, Dervish customs, Jon Graham folders, Grimsmos, non-locking MSC PT, and maybe a custom Emerson or Strider but if you have other offers, I'm happy to hear them. Cash can be added either way.

1. Medford FUK Flipper - brand new in box - Traded
Tumbled D2 blade
Bronzed ti with flamed X's
As thick as a Praetorian Ti
Action is smooth out of the box and flips great even though it's not yet broken in
Locks up tight with no play and is perfectly centered
Feels nice in hand

2. TuffKnives customized Sniper Bladeworks LPC - near mint
Blade measures 4" from the end of the handle
Contoured and sculpted slab of carbon fiber for the presentation side
Lockside is tumbled ti
Flamed pivot and gold thumbstud
Geoff put the swedge and thumb indent on the blade and worked on the carbon fiber
Extremely smooth action even with a tight pivot
Solid lockup with no play in any direction, and perfect centering
Fits nicely in hand
Not sure if it's intentional but with some practice, you can use the little tab in the last picture as a flipper and it works fairly well

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 - Traded
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
The blade has some light scratches and the edge could use a light touch-up.
The outer pivot screw is almost stripped but still works with the right sized bit; for adjustments you want to take off the bolster and turn the other screw underneath
Everything still functions perfectly and a trip back to Jason could have it like new
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. Andre De Villiers Tac-Butcher - like new - Traded
Two-tone blade with satin flats, mirror polished grinds, and a mirror polished fuller
Tri-tone handle with satin highs, blasted lows, and polished edges
Polished carbon fiber scale
All the hardware has been anodized a bronze purple
Has a few very faint handling marks but other than that, mint
The marks on the blade are fingerprints, not scratches
Locks up tight with no play and centering is dead on
Action is smooth and responsive and it's designed to fit in the hand nicely

6. Alan Folts One-Off Prototype - near mint
Alan is known for making complete one-offs so I think this is the only one of it's kind
It is marked as a prototype on the inside of the liner
The bolstered scales feel seamless and the pattern on the front scale matches perfectly
The liners, pivot, and body screws are anodized purple
Handle is fairly thick so it gives you a very comfortable grip
Blade is thin so it slices like a champ
Runs on IKBS and you have to make a conscious effort to not have the blade fly open
There is a bit of up-and-down play but not enough to affect the function
Centering is dead on
