I have a mint condition Rick Dunkerley, M.S. art folder liner lock with beautifully carved presentation grade blacklip MOP scales and Rick's own Dry Fly damascus blade and bolsters for sale. Rick is an ABS Master Smith, and he makes some of the most impressive pieces around today. This piece is a sole authorship knife, and it's perhaps the most impressive feat in craftsmanship that I have ever owned. Especially noteworthy on this piece are the premium blacklip scales. They reflect an incredible spectrum of colors, perhaps the most that I've ever seen for this material. All of the screws are fileworked and heat colored, and the thumbstud is inlaid with a sapphire.
The Dunkerley listed here is in dead mint condition, and I purchased it directly from the maker himself. It has never been carried, used, or sharpened, and it obviously still has its original edge from Rick. Fit and finish are impeccable on this piece. The action is very smooth, the knife locks up great, and the blade centering is just about dead perfect.
Price is $2500. The price includes Registered Priority Mail shipping, insurance, and delivery confirmation within the continental US. Because this is such a high dollar item, I will only ship internationally if certain conditions are met. If you are an international buyer who is seriously interested, please contact me for details.
The specs:
Condition: Mint
Blade length: 3 1/8" from tip to bolster
Overall length: 7 1/4"
Blade thickness: 1/8" at ricasso
Blade steel: Dry Fly damascus forged by Rick Dunkerley
Blade finish: Etched, polished, and heat colored
Edge: Plain
Bolsters: Dry Fly damascus forged by Rick Dunkerley
Handle material: Presentation grade blacklip MOP, carved and textured
Lock: 1084 liner lock, polished, fileworked, and heat colored
Backspacer: 1084, polished, fileworked, and heat colored
Clip: None
For payment on this particular piece, I will only accept USPS money orders unless I personally know you. If I do know you, I will also accept PayPal to a confirmed address or a personal check, but I reserve the right to wait for payment to clear before I ship.
I will consider trades (+ or - cash) for high-end custom folders or balis or multiple lower end custom folders or balis. Here are the makers that I am particularly interested in:
JL Williams
Tim Galyean
Kit Carson
Jim Burke
Rick Hinderer
Charles Marlowe
DB Fraley
Neil Blackwood
Deryk Munroe
Dobruski (balis only)
Flavio Ikoma
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Matt Cucchiara (flippers only)
I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades other than a Galyean Ukiah, small (less than 5" blade) Hossoms, or a Russ Andrews at this point in time.
Feel free to post, email, or PM any questions. Thanks for looking!
