Mike Sitton double bolstered flipper

[commodorewheeler]

I have a Mike Sitton liner lock flipper folder with contoured OD green canvas micarta handle scales, titanium double bolsters, and a handrubbed clip point blade for sale. Mike is known for making some of the best and smoothest D/A autos around, and his manual flippers are just as well made as his automatics. I do not know for sure what the blade steel is, but Mike's steels of choice seem to be BG-42 and S30V, in that order, so I would be willing to bet that it is one of the two. This piece is built tough and would make a great EDC. There is a tiger eye cabochon inlaid in the thumbstud.

The Sitton flipper listed here appears to have been carried very lightly but not used or resharpened, and its original edge from Mike is sharp. There are a few very light carry marks on the bolsters and backspacer, but the blade appears pristine. The action is very smooth, and the knife flips open easily with no wrist flick. I uploaded a brief video here to demonstrate the action. The lock-up is rock solid as well.

***SOLD***

For payment on this piece, I strongly prefer USPS money orders, but I will also accept PayPal (add 3% to cover most PayPal fees) or personal check if I know you. If you are paying by PayPal, 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 payments to clear before I ship.

I will consider trades (with appropriate cash adjustment) for custom folders and certain custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:

I may consider trades for other custom folders or balis not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades other than those by John Young or Russ Andrews.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
