I have a Mike Draper Sabra MB liner lock flipper folder with polished black G-10 handle scales, engraved titanium S-bolsters, and a handrubbed S30V blade for sale. The MB is the mid-sized version of the Sabra model, and it makes a great EDC. Mike's new flippers are super-smooth, thanks in part to some pivot modifications he calls the J-Mac Bearing System, named after Jerry McClure, the creator of this mechanism. Mike's J-Mac pivots contain 12 black onyx cabochons instead of washers, and as a result, there is less friction in the pivot, so you get a faster and smoother opening action.
As you can see from the pictures, Mike put quite a bit of work into this knife to make it look a bit nicer than the average tactical/utility folder. The bolsters are engraved with texturing, and the liners are engraved with a vine pattern. It is relatively rare to see handrubbed blades on Mike's folders, too.
The Sabra MB flipper listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its edge from Mike is very sharp. The opening action is extremely smooth, on par with an IKBS flipper, the lock-up is rock-solid, and the blade centering is near perfect.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Mint, new from maker
Blade length: 3 5/8" from tip to bolster
Overall length: 8"
Blade thickness: 5/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: S30V
Blade finish: Handrubbed
Edge: Plain
Bolsters: Titanium S-bolsters, beadblasted and engraved
Handle scale material: Black G-10, polished
Lock: Titanium liner lock, beadblasted
Backspacer: Titanium, beadblasted
Clip: Tip up, titanium, beadblasted
For payment on this piece, I strongly prefer USPS money orders, but I will also accept PayPal or personal check if I know you. If you are paying by PayPal, I will cover the fees, but the payment has to be sent with a PayPal-confirmed address (including the green "confirmed" marker) listed in the invoice, and I will only ship to that PayPal-confirmed address. I reserve the right to wait for personal checks to clear before I ship.
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
Gerry McGinnis
Jim Burke
Rick Hinderer
Charles Marlowe
Jim Smyth
DB Fraley
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Bob Lum
Scott Cook
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, or fixed blades other than those by Tim Galyean, John Young, Jerry Hossom, or Russ Andrews.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
