Kit Carson Large Model 4 tactical: This M4 was made for me in the early 90's. It was carried until I got the next custom Carson (See Below). This large Model 4 featured a ceramic bead blast finish blade, fine bead blast titanium bolsters, dual thumb studs and G10 scales, Stainless steel clip, and Notched thumb ramp. It has a very smooth action, with perfect blade seating, detent, and lockup. The blade is 4" with an overall length of 9.375" and weighs 6.2oz. I think the blade is 420V. This was carried primarily intended for self defense and kept sharp. Note, this originally had my name engraved which I have removed (you can see how well I did in the photo below and with the associated link to see more photos. I also disassembled and cleaned the knife in the last few days. If you are looking for a great EDC knife with self defense in mind, it's a good one to have, the blade has great cutting geometry. Price $375 shipping included (Pending, but will accept backup offers)

Early Kit Carson Custom Model 4: I had Kit make this knife for me in the early 90's; it was the second of two he made for me and, both were among the first custom knives I purchased. I believe it is a large frame model 4. The Blade is ladder pattern Damascus as are the bolsters. The scales are very nice color mammoth. The liners are titanium with a sort of bluish hue. It has ambidextrous thumb studs. I carried this knife briefly in the 90's, but it might be hard to tell. It is a solid knife, with heft, smooth opening and has a great lockup with virtually no play. It has been sharpened and is razor sharp. The blade is 4, overall length of 9.375" and weighs 6.2oz. If you want a dressed, well designed tactical knife for EDC, this is the knife, or you can keep in your collection. This was carried primarily intended for self defense and kept very sharp. It was retired to be displayed in my collection in the mid-90's. This knife is hard to part with, but I am liquidating much of my knife collection to finance a new consuming hobby; building bamboo rods using old Master's tapers. Sold

I included a lot of photos in the link so folks can get an idea of their condition. I would entertain a 'package' offer.
