Cash can be added either way.

1. Phantom Steelworks Operator XL - like new - $2100
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. 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 people at Rockstead satin finished the highs 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

3. Sharknivco M11 - lightly carried and used - $900
Well built and well designed like you'd expect from Edison
3.25" CPM-S35VN reverse tanto blade
Working finish blade and frame
Contoured frame
The blade sits almost flush with the back of the frame but the tip is still well covered
Has a custom pivot and a pivot collar on the back
Has been carried and used but the finishes help to hide the wear, it's most noticeable on the clip
Runs smooth on bearings and has a great detent
Centering is dead on and it locks with zero play

4. Pat Hammond Wave - like new - $650
Lee Williams taught Pat how to make a knife and it shows
Mechanically this is one of the most perfect knives I've handled
Action is glass smooth with a perfectly dialed in detent
You have to try very hard to get this one to misfire
Centering is dead on and it locks without a hint of blade play
Acidwashed blade
Fully contoured ti frame that's been lightly orange-peeled and then matte stonewashed
Clip has been bronzed and orange-peeled
Show side pivot has some checkering

5. Jason Guthrie Ranger - near mint - $750 --> Sold
Ranger #102
Hand satin M390 blade with just under 4" of cutting edge
Contoured and orange-peeled ti frame
Satin floating backspacer and satin back pivot collar
There's some slight play but any pressure on the lockbar, like from a normal grip, makes the lockup rock solid
Has a drop-shut smooth teflon action and a detent that feels perfectly dialed in
The blade is dead center but the grind is slightly asymmetrical making it seem slightly off at the tip
