If you have any questions about what's listed, just let me know and I'll do my best to help you out. For more details, specs, or pictures, ask and ye shall receive. You can reach me through private message or through my email: kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. I can work with you on the price for some of these and I'm open to trades. 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. Thanks for your time.
I went insane and picked up a few grails in the last week so I'm listing a few knives that I thought would stay in my permanent collection. I've owned most of these for a while. Some were carried. Some were safe queens. I honestly want to keep all of these so I'll be picky with trades but feel free to send offers, trade offers or otherwise. Also if a few of these sell, I'll likely pull the rest early and some probably won't be relisted.
For trades, I'm looking for: Jon Grahams, Ochs Worx, Yunas, Marlowes, Direwares, GTCs, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, RJ Martins, Rocksteads, Dalibors, Broadwells, Black Snow Customs, Phantom Steelworks, Jim Burkes, Blackwoods, VanderMeulens, Chris Goodwyns, Rogovets, Jason Clarks, Grimsmos, Brown Knives, Jason Guthries, ZT 0454, CKF Terra, and maybe a custom Emerson or just Striders in general but if you have other offers, I'm happy to hear them. Cash can be added either way.
1. Phantom Steelworks Operator XL - like new - $2200
The biggest folder Chris makes and a rare model from him
The blade, frame, clip, and both sides of the pivot have been murdered (textured)
4.5" blade in CPM-3V and with his unique "unearthed" finish
Both the entire front handle slab and the clip are in timascus and the texture makes it really shimmer in the light
Lockside is flamed ti
Inside of the frame is blasted
Has the best action I've felt on a Phantom Steelworks
Snaps open with a nice double-click and locks up tight
Centering is dead on
2. Phantom Steelworks PF-2 - near mint - $650 --> Sold
Everything on this one has been murdered
3" acidwashed tanto blade
Inside of the frame has been blasted and has "Phantom Steelworks" handwritten inside
Clip is 3D milled and made from timascus
Detent on this one is light but it still flips and I'm not able to shake the blade out
Smooth action, perfect centering, locks up securely, and feels great in hand
3. Rockstead SHU-C-ZDP - lightly carried and used - $1200
Number 160
The most well made button-lock I've ever handled
Locks with absolutely no play in any direction
3.25" blade in ZDP-189
Blade has egg-shelled flats and a perfect mirror polish on the convex zero ground portion
Frame is DLC coated titanium with a apricot tree motif engraved into both side and then the highs were satin finished to make it 2-tone
Deep-carry clip
This one has been carried and used for a while so expect some normal wear on the blade and frame, but it's still in very good condition
The scratches are faint and combined with the finishes, it make it very hard to show the wear in photos
Action is glass smooth and centering is dead on
