If you have any questions about what's here, let me know and I'll do my best to help you out. For more details, specs, or pictures, just ask and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I don't get notifications for profile messages so PMs or shooting me an email at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com is the best way to reach me. I also check my threads every once in a while so I'll usually see your posts. I can work with you on the price for some of these and I'm open to trades. If you don't have much feedback or forum history, I might ask you to ship first. Prices include all shipping and PayPal fees in the US. I'll be happy to ship international but the buyer will need to assume all risks and help cover the cost of shipping. The knives will come with what's shown unless otherwise stated. Thanks for taking a look.

For trades, I'm looking for: Jon Grahams, Ochs Worx, Yunas, Marlowes, Tashi collabs and customs, GTCs, Sharknivcos, RJ Martins, Dalibors, Broadwells, Black Snow Customs, VanderMeulens, Chris Goodwyns, Rogovets, Mosiers, Guthries, Rotten Designs, ZT 0454, G&G Deadlock, Rockstead Shun, Skiff Drifter, and maybe a custom Emerson or Strider but I'll always be open to other offers. I like seeing what's out there and the worst I can do is pass. Cash can be added either way.

1. Mick Strider Custom Stub - near mint - $2300
The shrunk down version of the MSC XL that turns it into an overbuilt 3.25” SnG
CPM-20CV
A slightly different style Yeti grind blade where he maximized the blade flat
Mirrorwashed flats and satin grinds
Full dragon spine
Magic anodized frame that changes color as you handle it
Glass smooth action, perfect centering, good lockup

2. D.B. Fraley Deluge - near mint - $2500
3.5" CPM-S30V blade with a perfect hand satin and a timascus thumbstud
Contoured, egg-shelled, and blackened ti frame
Timascus Lost Souls backspacer
Fit and finish is about as good as it gets
Smooth action, perfect centering, locks with no play

3. Philip Booth Destiny - lightly carried - $650
3.7" blade in CPM-154 with a reflective 2-tone hand satin
Contoured lightning strike carbon fiber scales with a copper stripe inlaid on both side
Polished liners
Hand satin clip with a copper standoff
Action is glass smooth, flips well, and locks up tight
Centering seems to favor the front side by a hair

4. Jeff Hall/Liong Mah Rogue - like new - $600 --> Sold
This one has been my 1 custom karambit for a while
I never ended up carrying it so it’s on the chopping block
Not many of these Liong Mah collabs are out there
2-tone satin blade
Layered green and black G-10 scales with some hand texturing
Smooth action, perfect centering, and locks with no play
Works as a front flipper

5. Jim Burke/Tashi Bharucha Villian Supersonic #3 - near mint - $2200
Jim only made 5-10 VSS's in collaboration with Tashi and this one is #3
Each one was a complete one off
This is one of the best built knives I've owned
Has a drop-shut smooth action on washers and it flips like a dream
Locks with no play in any direction
Symmetrical compound grind
Huge 4.25" blade but the knife overall is only about as think as a Sebenza so it carries easier than you would expect
Has a full length geared backspacer with a red tritium insert
The darker part on the blade by the pivot on the lockside is just oil

6. Aegis Knife Works Xiphos #8 - lightly carried - $800
3.75" compound ground tanto blade in CPM-3V
Contoured frame
Blue anodized pivot collar, lockbar stablizer, screws, frame standoffs, and clip standoffs
Centering is dead on and it flips well
Has a slight bit of play if you grab the blade but the knife is 100% safe
Feels great in hand
