I have a mint condition Mike Obenauf Mini Model 2 liner lock folder with carbon fiber handle scales, titanium bolsters, and a handrubbed S30V blade for sale. As the son-in-law of Kit Carson, Mike learned to make knives from the best out there, and you can see his painstaking attention to detail in this piece. This folder is the smallest size that Mike makes, but it's built real tough, and its fit and finish are flawless. Kit also passed his exemplary business ethics on to Mike, so rest assured that Mike will take care of you if you ever need this piece serviced in the future.
The Mini Model 2 listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Mike is sharp. The opening action is very smooth, the lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering is dead perfect.
***SOLD***
The specs:
Condition: Mint
Blade length: 2 3/4" from tip to handle
Overall length: 6 5/8"
Blade thickness: 5/32" at ricasso
Blade steel: S30V
Blade finish: Handrubbed
Edge: Plain
Bolsters: Titanium, beadblasted
Handle scale material: Carbon fiber
Lock: Titanium liner lock, beadblasted
Backspacer: Black G-10
Clip: Tip-down, stainless steel, polished
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
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!
