I have a near mint condition Mike Obenauf large Model 2 liner lock folder with carbon fiber scales, beadblasted titanium bolsters, and a nice handrubbed blade for sale. I don't know for sure what blade steel this one has, but I believe it is S30V. The Model 2 is the most popular of Mike's knives, and it is also my personal favorite.
This Model 2 has been carried a few times and used very lightly, but it has never been sharpened and still has its original edge from Mike. Aside from a few light scratches on the bolsters, blade, and clip, it appears to be in like-new condition. The scratches are so light that I couldn't get them to show up in my pictures. The action is extremely smooth; Carson-like, I would say, the lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering is near-perfect.
***TRADED***
The specs:
Condition: Excellent to near-mint
Blade length: 3 3/4" from tip to bolster
Overall length: 8 3/4"
Blade thickness: 3/16" at serrated thumb ramp
Blade steel: S30V(?)
Blade finish: Handrubbed
Edge: Plain
Bolsters: Titanium, beadblasted
Handle scale material: Carbon fiber, satined
Lock: Titanium liner lock, beadblasted
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 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. Personal checks have to clear before I ship the knife.
Below are the only trades (+ or - cash) that I will consider on this one:
JL Williams framelocks or flippers
Galyean flippers
Carson folders
Onion flippers
Munroe Chimera or Manticore
Marlowe SOF-A2 or SOF-A4 with handrubbed blade
Blackwood Curr
Bogi flippers (except Mini-Cobra)
Rick Hinderer Fire Whirl or Firetac with damascus or 6K blade
Burke Mini-Resurrection
DB Fraley Torrent framelock flipper
Feel free to post, email, or PM any questions. Thanks for looking!
