Hi all,

Forgive the pic quality. Any requests for additional pics or more information available via PM. Reasonable counteroffers welcome. Insured shipping included in the prices. Payment via PayPal (friends and family not accepted), which will be provided once we come to terms. First “I’ll take it” here or via PM gets first dibs.

Kerry Hampton - Swellcenter “coke bottle” hunter - Now $800


OAL - 9 1/2”
Blade length - 4 1/8
Closed Length - 5 3/8”
Steel - D2 220 belt finish

Absolute stunner in Ebony from Kerry, another Bose acolyte. This is one of the most precise and impressive slipjoints I’ve handled from a maker who sees very few knives on the secondary market. Top shelf caliber in every way especially considering the amount of real estate. Gorgeous ebony, perfectly centered blade, no play, dead flush seamless backspring, great plunges and loooooong long swedges, ny knife co shield, brass pins, 8 or 9 pull. It does have a checks on the ebony near one of the pins, that I tried to show in pics, but are pretty hard to notice.

I’ve coddled it like a work of art, and is unused and uncarried, but this big knife is meant for heavy use. Ready for to be queen of the safe or king of the ranch. Guaranteed to satisfy either way. It’s a special one that my pics can’t capture.

Cliff Parker - tweety patterned Damascus gents liner lock - $900

OAL - 6 7/16”
Blade length - 3”
Closed length - 3 1/2”

Cliff’s a great dude and a really capable maker. Very few make small, slender, lean gents knives of this quality. Disappears in the pocket. Premium gold lip pearl scales with lots of color and fire, cheeky tweety and Sylvester mosaic Damascus for bolsters, blade, and backstrap, fileworked anodized blue titanium liners, gold thumbstud with gold lip pearl inlay. Nice lockup, no play, perfect blade centering. Detent a little loose. Carried but never used, not for lack of looking for opportunities. No signs of wear.

It’s a beaut, with a few hundred dollars of what you’d pay for it new.

Yuna knives EQ frame lock - SOLD

OAL - 5 5/8”
Blade Length - 2 1/4”
Closed Length - 3 3/8”

This little badass is ready to cut. Carbon fiber scale, anodized titanium frame which show some scratches from carry from a previous owner. Good blade centering just shy of perfect, great detent.

Only problem with this one is poor lockup. It’s such a small piece I can’t imagine doing anything crazy with it, so hopefully that’s not an issue for a prospective buyer. Great edc in any event.

Rick Menefee swayback navy/rope knife - SOLD

OAL - 6 1/2”
Blade length - 2 7/8”
Closed length - 3 3/4”
Steel - stainless/unknown

Unique prototype pattern from Rick, clad in stag. Useful blade shape for utility work, half stop, dead center blade, long pull, flush backspring, 3 pull, Menefee sharp. This one has seen some light use and carry.

Stag shows some greening around the pins as stag sometimes does. There is another issue where a gap has formed at the base of the rear scale where it meets the liner. Doesn’t really impact the look, feel or function of the knife, but lowers the price for those looking for a great unique knife from a great maker at a reduced price.

Mike Zscherny - wharncliffe trapper - $Now $500 for a two blade custom slipjoint

OAL - 6 3/8”
Blade length - 2 11/16 “
Closed length - 3 1/2”

Great example of a great useful pattern from Mike, one of the best, but who doesn’t make many slipjoints anymore. Really clean work. Great stag, Flush backsping, nice walk and talk, medium pull, a little bit of play on one of the blades, blades a little off center, but neither offensive. It’s seen very light use and carry, the latter only can be gleaned by a little scuff on the bolsters.

At $500 this knife is a steal.
