2016 Michael Raymond Starlit - $5000 OBO
Michael’s work is second to none in the industry and taking one look at any of the details on this knife shows why that is. Perfect clean chamfers throughout, impeccable color matching on the moku-ti Thumbstud, Pivot Collar, Pivot, and Clip inlay, a perfect hand-rub, and ergonomics to die for. The bushing/washer action is the benchmark of how well tuned this setup can be.
As for my history with this knife, I have owned this Starlit since 2022 – I received it completely beat and sent it back to Michael in 2023 for a full spa. I have carried this knife and used this knife, so there are marks of wear. The pivot has a scratch I’ve highlighted in the pictures, as well as some possible imperfections on the blade at the transition line of the grind.
This knife has no Box/COA(and Michael will not re-issue) but comes with the wrench and a branded microfiber cloth from MR. This makes a perfect next level every day carry knife as I can attest, and is a model/maker that many lust after.
