I can give more details, specs, and pictures if you ask. If you're interested, feel free to start a conversation or email me at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. If you just want a straightforward sale, let me know and we can have something worked out. Thanks for taking a looking.

For trades, I'm looking for: Yunas, DireWares, GTC's, Southards, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Rocksteads, Phantom Steelworks, Kirby Lamberts, Blackwoods, Lightfoots, Jason Clarks, Hobacks, a Todd Begg Beggatti, Rassentis, a Demko AD15, Dervishs, Jon Grahams, Grimsmos, non-locking MSC PT, Marfione MSG-3, DOC, ZT 0454, and maybe a custom Emerson or Strider but if you have other offers, I'm happy to hear them. Cash can be added either way.

3. Greg Lightfoot Bullwhip - brand new in pouch - Sold
Blade measures 3.5" from the end of the handle and is done in Greg's signature asymmetric style
High polished blade
Bolster is orange-peeled ti
Wood burl scales
Perfect lockup and action
Nice detent and perfect centering
Comes with a shark tooth lanyard

4. Dustin Turpin Insight - near mint
Hand satin finished 3.5" blade
Distressed ti bolsters and clip
Brown micarta scales
Carbon fiber backspacer
Has been lightly used so there are some faint scratches on the blade
Centering favors the presentation side but doesn't rub even when you put pressure on the other side
Lockup is solid with no play and the action is incredible, opens and closed effortlessly

5. Doc Shiffer Custom Designated Marksman - like new
Very well made 3.75"-4" flipper
Blade has a smoky hamon
Sculpted bronze working finish titanium handle with polished highs
Gear-pattern backspacer
If you grab the blade and really force it, there is the slightest bit of up-and-down play; doesn't affect the function at all and you'd only notice if you were checking for it
It has one of the best actions I've handled, liquid smooth and it will open regardless of how you use the flipper
The blade sits dead center in the handle
Feels great in hand in a number of different grips
