Hey! I've been out of the knife game for awhile. I just graduated college, and need some money for other hobbies, and just my life in general. I am pricing these to sell, besides the Leu and the Norseman. Quite frankly, I will sell these knives if they are someones grail, but am perfectly fine with keeping them. Email me at dfasano19@jcu.edu for more/better pictures or with any questions. That is not my PayPal email! Post that you'll take the knife in this thread, then email me and I'll give you my PayPal email. All knives's prices are shipped and insured to you.

Something is off with the pictures, and it's only letting me upload 10? It's also telling me some of them are too bog for the server to process. I have a bunch and am willing to take more right away, so if you are interested, again please email me.

Jim Burke Custom Hitman$1,400 $1300
To be clear, this is not the mid tech version, this is not the TAD version, this is not the "operator grade" version. This is a fully custom, all hand made version. It was purchased by me at maker's price for roughly $1,600 3-4 years ago. Below maker's cost years ago.
The knife has only ever been flipped, and I am the first owner. I have used rust inhibitor on the blade, and nano-oil on the pivot. Never been carried, literally in perfect condition. Zero blade play, perfect flipping action, perfect blade centering, perfectly symmetrical grind, perfect lockup, etc. This is the knife sold on Jim Skelton's Live Knife youtube show years ago.
This knife has custom titanium blue anodized hardware, a hand-ground PSF-27 blade, red and green tritium inserts in both sides of the pivot (hard to see in pictures, can see clearly in dark environments), custom anodized and carved titanium scales, a Moku-Ti backspace, and an acid-washed blade. Lock face is treated and lock sits at roughly 15% or so.

Disclosure:Brand new Knife has never been used. Recently purchased directly from Jeff (Nov 2015). Similar build as Terafanatic's youtube Barely Legal. Comes with leather carry pouch. Extremely beefy, centered and flips really well. Slight vertical play, came to me like that Jeff can fix it if you’re anal about it. Never carried/


Grimsmo Norseman $900 $880
RWL-34 acid washed steel blade. Bronze-ish thumbstop. Stonewashed titanium. This is the smoothest/best flipper I have ever owned. #324. All I can say is that the hype behind these is real. I bought this directly from the brothers years ago. Perfect lockup and zero play.


Stealth Carbon Fiber Praetorian, #1 of 250 $850 $825
Come with custom pelican case, dog tag, all original paperwork and plastic card. D2 steel, all blacked out. Perfect condition never carried. Solid as a tank, perfect centering, lockup, etc. Bought for $800 when it was released, this is a steal.


Field Grade Bodega sold
Not sure if these are considered custom or not, have had this for a while. Perfect shape never carried, flips amazingly. Centering, lockup are perfect. I believe it has the stars and stripes 3-d machined g10 pattern. Unsure of the steel on this.


“King Hamachi”. One off, full timascus, and as far as I know the first and only bolster lock Hamachi/knife Leu has ever made. $2,100 Timascus scales, clip, backspacer. Orange peeled titanium bolsters. There is no secondary bevel on this, all one. S90v blade. One of the smoothest and best flippers I’ve ever handled (only behind Norseman). Non-tanto blade for better slicing performance.

I wish your pics went with the descriptions... the blade with hamon is the "barely legal", yes?and the scuplted Ti frame is the "hitman", yes???? And the Leu you don't really show a good pic of... Your sales thread would do better with pic after description... O_O


edit: is the Hoback a midtech??

Believe me, I completely agree with you. Is there a better way of providing pictures than messing with trying to upload files into the thread? I took a bunch of pictures, but could only upload some, and then within those some had to be thumbnails.

Yes, the Barely Legal is the ti scales and Hamon on the blade. The sculpted colored ti handled is the Burke Hitman. The Leu I had beautiful pictures of, but I'm guessing maybe the color depth of the timascus is what upped the file size? Also, the Hoback is custom. https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/hoback-a15-vandermeulen-barely-legal.1359210/#post-15643980 That is the thread where I purchased both knives.

Maybe I should delete and repost once I figure out the picture situation. In the mean time, I am ready and willing to provide pictures via email of anything you may be interested in seeing
 
You need to use an image posting site such as Imgur then you can make an album for all of the knives at once or an album for each and it will give you a link to put in description
