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, Goodwyns, Rogovets, Guthries, Rotten Designs, ZT 0454, G&G Deadlock, Rockstead Shun, Skiff Drifter, and maybe a custom Emerson or just Striders in general but I'm always 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. Phantom Steelworks Operator XL - like new - $2000
The biggest folder Chris made, not many were made
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
The entire front side and the clip are 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. Sergio Consoli N° 281 - near mint - $1400
Seriously impressive flipper that's handmade by an Italian Knife Guild Maestro
Almost 4" blade with a flawless hand satin
Contoured lightning strike CF scales that have been perfectly polished, I don't feel any wires poking out
Clip is made from lightning strike CF as well and it goes in and out of pocket smoothly
Liners have a satin finish on the inside and are polished on the edges
Full length bronzed ti backspacer that's satin finished on the inside
The top on the backspacer has some faint marks
Polished custom pivot
Blade flies open with a snap and drops when you disengage the lock
Locks with no play at all

3. RJ Martin Oculus - like new - $3000 --> Sold
One of the most impressive knives I’ve handled
Double edged folding dagger made by the king of flippers
CTS-XHP blade that measures 4 1/8”
Fit and finish on this one is perfect
Contoured and fully machined ti frame with a seamless lightning strike carbon fiber inlay and a matching zirconium bolster
Orange-peeled zirc clip
Carbon fiber backspacer
The blade on this one is dead center but the grind is slightly asymmetrical at the tip making it look off
Locks up rock solid with zero play in any direction
Action is glass smooth

4. Nova Blades Custom - near mint - $700
I'm not sure about the name on this one, likely a one-off as well but I'm not 100% sure
It's a very well built framelock flipper with a 3.25" reverse tanto blade
Heavy working finish on the frame
Custom pivot
Flips amazingly well, feels great in hand, locks with zero play, and centering is dead on

Very well built full custom framelock flipper
3.75" CPM-S35VN reverse tanto blade
Blackwood carbon fiber front
Blackwashed blade
Blasted and tumbled ti lockside
Custom pivot
Mechanically perfect with a nicely dialed in detent
Flips reliably, locks with no play in any direction, carries well, and works great in hand
