Howdy BF,

The time has come for me to finally have a thorough collection sale. I’m always open to reasonable offers – worse I can do is respond with a counteroffer. Also, I have an auto Valmara here: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/defiant-7-valmara-auto-prototype-aluminum-cpm-154.2007497/ and the second part of my collection sale here: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/collection-sale-part-ii.2007609/

Arno Bernard iMamba Flipper/Fuller | Sandblasted Ti | RWL-34
CONDITION: EXCELLENT – has been carried less than a dozen times since I picked it up from African Outdoor Creations in July of 2022. Has been used on food prep only. Blade is still pristine. Action is fluid and swift on bearings – flip it, roll it, middle-finger flick it. Lockup is solid without any play. Centering is flawless. I believe they stopped producing this model with the fullers and now have cutouts instead. There are snail trails throughout the handle and clip, but nothing unruly.
ASKING PRICE: $405 F&F/Zelle --> SOLD to MrBilly99 MrBilly99

Burger Custom Atlas SFL | Titanium w/ Bronze Pivot Collar and Clip | Acid Wash Elmax
CONDITION
: EXCELLENT – has been carried less than a dozen times since I got it in June of 2021 from GP Knives. Have test cut paper, but nothing beyond that in terms of use. Frankly, it’s indistinguishable from a new one. Action is very snappy with the front flipper and the closing has a controlled drop-shut. Locks up solid without any play. Near-perfect centering.
ASKING PRICE: $705 G&S or $640 F&F/Zelle

Clyde Challenor Viper | Sandblasted Ti | M390
CONDITION
: EXCELLENT – has been carried sparingly (maybe a dozen times in the last 2 years), used on food prep and small EDC tasks (no cardboard cutting), and sharpened to factory angle. Locks up solid without any play. Centering is near-flawless, possibly favors the presentation side a smidge. Action is very snappy and the jimping on the front flipper is just right – not too sharp/aggressive. Has a controlled drop-shut close when lock is disengaged, but only until it hits your thumb – will not fall shut from that point. There are possibly (2) snail trails on the presentation side and (2) on the pocket clip. Picked this up from BF October of 2022. These are $900+ direct from Clyde.
ASKING PRICE: $740 G&S or $670 F&F/Zelle

Knafs Lander 2 | Green Micarta | S35VN
CONDITION
: VERY GOOD – has been carried and used – was my EDC for a week in Hawaii back in August. Mostly used for food prep or cutting tags of products. No cardboard cutting. Great centering and amazing action. Locks up solid without any play. I’m very impressed with this knife when compared to other crossbar or axis-lock knives. I ended up bending the pocket clip as it got snagged while I was exiting the backseat of a car, but have since re-shaped it, though you can see where the damage had occurred. The scales are in great shape with darkened areas but no scuffs or dings. I’m the first owner, bought it from REC back in May.
ASKING PRICE: $108 G&S or $98 F&F/Zelle

Laconico Knives Semi Custom Jasmine #68 | Ti | S35VN
CONDITION
: EXCELLENT – has been carried about a dozen times since I picked it up from BHQ back in May of 2018. I’ve cut fruit with it, maybe a steak also. Has not been sharpened. Very nice flipping action and very well centered. Solid lockup without any play. Only signs of wear are a few snails on the clip and an area towards the butt of the handle when I accidentally love-tapped another titanium knife – left a pin-sized ding in it (see pic). These models are hand assembled and tuned by Ray and includes his initials and a serial number on the inside of the backspacer (see pic). I haven’t seen one of these in a very long time.
ASKING PRICE: $460 G&S or $420 F&F/Zelle

Luft Concept RWB | SW Ti | S90V
CONDITION:
EXCELLENT – has been carried and used PRIOR to sharpening, but not since then -- was sharpened to factory angle. Due to the finish, there are no discernible wear on the handles nor on the blade (perhaps some smudges/streaks, but not scratches, on the blade). Centering is near-perfect. Action is very snappy with a rock-solid lockup. Purchased directly from REC (link to original listing: https://riversedgecutlery.com/luft-concepts-rwb-stonewashed-titanium-blasted-cpm-s90v/) for $350.
ASKING PRICE: $265 G&S or $240 F&F/Zelle

Microtech Socom 160-10 | Black Aluminum | SW M390
CONDITION
: EXCELLENT – has been carried sparingly, sharpened to factory angle, and used for food prep and on a breaking down a couple of cardboard boxes. There’s no discernible wear on the handle nor pocket clip. Locks up solid without any play. Centering favors the clip-side just a touch. Action is very snappy and once the lock is disengaged, the blade will fall shut until the liner is released. There are (2) pin-sized divots on each side of the blade from when the clamp (from the guided sharpening system) held the blade during sharpening. It is still hair-shaving sharp. Bought this directly from an AO retailer for $320 about a year and half ago. Only selling because I got the Shadow Signature Series version.
ASKING PRICE: $285 G&S or $260 F&F/Zelle

Olamic Wayfarer 247 | Light Bronze Ti w/ Holes Pattern | M390
CONDITION
: EXCELLENT – has maybe been carried less than two handful of times and seen even less use on food prep (no cardboard cutting). Still has factory edge. The distressed bronze finish hides wear extremely well so there’s really nothing to report. Blade is pristine. Solid lockup without play. Very-well centered. Very reliable flipping action – not overly snappy, almost has a hydraulic feel during the opening and is currently running on Skiffs (original bearings included). Only callout is there’s an area on the spine of the blade near the tip that is less “polished” almost brushed steel looking. Received it in this manner direct from BHQ back in December of 2016.
ASKING PRICE: $465 G&S or $420 F&F/Zelle

Spartan Blades Harsey Folder (SHF) | KnifeArt Exclusive w/ CF & Black PVD Ti | Black PVD S45VN
CONDITION
: EXCELLENT – has been carried sparingly, used for food prep and a few cardboard boxes. The PVD coating on the blade shows expected wear from use – mainly “streaks”, but no chips or scratches. There are also a few snail trails on the pocket clip and lock-side handle. Action is fluid and hydraulic with great centering. Lockup is solid without any play. Doesn’t drop shut close, but still needs to be broken in. Purchased directly from KnifeArt for $585 2 years ago.

Spartan Blades Harsey Folder (SHF) | SW Ti | SW S45VN
CONDITION
: EXCELLENT – has been carried sparingly, sharpened to factory angle, and used for food prep and a few cardboard boxes. There is no discernible wear on the handle nor blade due to the stonewashed finish. Action is very smooth as I’ve disassembled it previously to clean & re-lube. Locks up solid without any play. Centering is near-flawless. Purchased directly from REC for $460 over 2 years ago.

Strider SNG Fatty | KnifeJoy Exclusive | Flag Aluminum | Spearpoint Tiger Striped 20CV
CONDITION
: LIKE NEW – Purchased this direct from KJ back in mid-May. Has been pocketed once around the house and handled during a first impressions review on YouTube but has not been used to cut anything. Centering slightly favors the presentation side. Action is smooth. Solid lockup without any play. Will fall shut when the lock bar is disengaged. No discernible wear outside of a pin-sized snail trail on the lock bar near where the pocket clip touches the handle. There is some lock stick every 4 – 5 openings. This arrived in a plastic baggie I’m no longer able to locate, but will pack it extremely well in bubble wrap, which will be more secure than the baggie it came in =)

TRM Atom | Purple Mountains G-Carta | 20CV
CONDITION: EXCELLENT – has been carried sparingly, sharpened to factory angle, and used on food prep only (no box cutting). Action is very smooth with a snappy open if you flick it. Centering is spot-on. Locks up solid, but I’ve tuned it for its action so there’s a hint of side to side play . Outside of the G-carta scales being slightly darker than when first received and potentially a snail trail on the pocket clip, there isn’t any discernible wear on the handle nor blade. Got this in late September of 2021 directly from Three Rivers Manufacturing. Comes with a white O-ring on the opening thumb stud.
ASKING PRICE: $215 F&F/Zelle --> SOLD to S sn0wman72

Vanguard Cheetah | CF/Ti | M390
CONDITION
: EXCELLENT – has been carried a dozen times and used sparingly on food prep only. Great action with solid lockup (no play). Excellent centering. Has a controlled drop shut close. Some of my favorite features of this knife is the blade shape, crowned spine, and the classic carbon fiber inlays (reminds me the old school carbon fiber hoods on cars lol). There is less than a handful of snail trails on the titanium (most are on the clip side) with a few areas of wear visible on the show-side CF inlay. Picked this one up early May from White Mountain Knives.

WE Shamwari | Blackwashed Ti | CPM 20CV
CONDITION
: VERY GOOD – has been used for food prep, carried maybe a dozen times since I got it off BF in September of 2020, and sharpened to a convex edge on a WSKOBGA. Biggest boo boo was during sharpening when I accidentally brushed the top of both handles against the belt (see pics). Rest of the handles and blade are in excellent condition with no additional, noticeable wear. Action is super snappy and is running on Skiffs. Jimping on the front flipper is a bit aggressive though, so get ready to build to those callouses up LOL. Centering is near-perfect. Locks up solid without any play. Original bearings will be included. These haven’t popped up anywhere on the secondary for a while now so grab this while you can!

Zero Tolerance 0562MIC | Micarta | Magnacut
CONDITION
: EXCELLENT – has been carried less than a handful of times and possibly used to cut up a steak and/or some fruit. Centering favors the clip-side. Action is snappy and swift. Locks up solid without any play. Besides certain areas of the micarta showing some darkening, the rest of the knife looks practically new. Not sure if this developed over time or was received this way, but there’s the slightest hint of detent play when the blade is closed – just enough that if you shake the knife blade-first while closed, you’ll hear a tapping sound. I’ve thought about sending it back to ZT (here’s the link btw: https://zt.kaiusa.com/warranty) but just haven’t made the effort and have since decided to move it along. Price reflects the inconvenience should you decide to do so.
