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, GTC's, Southards, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Rocksteads, Phantom Steelworks, a Todd Begg Beggatti, Rassentis, a Demko AD15, 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.
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 The General - brand new in box
Tumbled D2 blade
Bronzed and tumbled ti
Not completely broken in but the action is smooth out of box and there is zero lock stick
Rock solid lockup and perfect centering
Comes with everything
2. Medford FUK Flipper - brand new in box
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
3. 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
4. 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
5. 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
6. 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
I think it's one of Mikkel's earlier pieces so the fit and finish isn't perfect
Centering slightly favors the presentation side but doesn't rub
