I have a like new Mike Obenauf large Model 2 liner lock folder with desert ironwood scales, satined titanium bolsters, and a handrubbed S30V blade for sale. The liners are engine-turned inside and beadblasted on their edges. This is one of the nicest knives I've owned, and perhaps the nicest large Obie I have ever seen.
The Model 2 listed here has never been carried or used, and the ironwood scales are in perfect condition. The action is very smooth, like you would expect from an Obie, and the lock-up and blade centering are perfect. The only thing that keeps me from calling this knife dead mint is the fact that the previous owner, LarryLuana, touched up the edge on one side because it was asymmetrical when it came from Mike. He did such a great job, though, that I can't even tell which side he touched up, and I'm sure the new owner can have Mike retouch it anyway (not necessary, IMO), if he or she so desires.
Another great bonus with this knife is that it comes with an additional pair of carbon fiber scales that Mike made for the knife when it was ordered, so the new owner can go dressy or tactical with this knife, depending on what is desired.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Like new, never used
Blade length: 3 3/4" from tip to bolster
Overall length: 8 5/8"
Blade thickness: 3/16" at serrated thumb ramp
Blade steel: S30V
Blade finish: Handrubbed
Edge: Plain
Bolsters: Titanium, satined
Handle scale material: Desert ironwood with extra set of carbon fiber scales
Lock: Titanium liner lock, engine-turned
Clip: Tip down, beadblasted
For payment, I prefer money orders, but I will also accept cashier's checks, PayPal, and cash (at your own risk). If you are paying by PayPal, I will cover the fees, but I will only ship to a PayPal-confirmed address with that method of payment. Personal checks have to clear before I ship the knife.
I will consider trades or partial trades towards only the following on this one:
JL Williams framelocks or flippers
Carson folders
Deryk Munroe Chimera
Bogi flippers
Rick Hinderer Fire Whirl or damascus Firetac
Mayo large 6K TNT (spearpoint only)
DB Fraley Torrent framelock flipper
Snody Retaliator framelock
Feel free to post, email, or PM any questions. Thanks for looking!
