I have a mint condition RJ Martin Q-36 liner lock flipper with contoured black carbon fiber handle scales, titanium bolsters, and a satin-finished S30V recurve blade for sale. Like Randy's other flipper models, the Q-36 features roller thrust bearings in its pivot for maximum smoothness of action. In addition, the handle scales on the Q-36 are contoured both front to back as well as up and down for maximum comfort in your grip. This model won the "Best Tactical Folder" award at Blade Show 2007. Randy does not take orders, so his work is relatively difficult to come by.

The Q-36 listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Randy is extremely sharp. The flipper action ranks with the absolute best out there, with a strong detent and some of the smoothest action you will ever see in a knife. I uploaded a video here to demonstrate the action. The lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering is dead perfect.

For payment on this piece, I can take USPS money orders and PayPal (add 3% to cover most of the PayPal fees). I can also take a personal check if I know you. If you are paying by PayPal, the payment has to be sent with a PayPal-confirmed address (including the green "confirmed" marker) listed in the invoice, and I will only ship to that PayPal-confirmed address. I reserve the right to wait for payments to clear before I ship.

I will consider trades (with appropriate cash adjustment) for custom folders and certain custom balis. I am especially interested in the following makers:

JL Williams
Charles Marlowe
Tim Galyean
Deryk Munroe
Jim Smyth
Kit Carson
Jim Burke
Gerry McGinnis
DB Fraley
Bob Lum
Mike Snody
Sal Manaro
Scott Cook
Ernie Emerson
Rick Hinderer
Matt Cucchiara
Todd Begg
Tom Mayo
Neil Blackwood
Ken Onion
Phil Boguszewski
Flavio Ikoma

I may consider trades for other custom folders or balis not listed above. However, I am not interested in serrated blades, production knives, or fixed blades other than those by John Young or Russ Andrews.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
 
Hey Ken. I just replied to your email!:thumbup: Btw, from looking at the lockup pic I'm going to guess, since the blade is .157" thick, that those liners are in the range of .090"? Any idea of the weight of the knife? Thanks!
 
I don't have calipers, but I think .090" is an excellent estimate for the thickness of the liners, as far as I can tell. The knife weighs 5 oz. on my kitchen scale.

Email answered, thanks! This one is still available!
 
I`ll take it, if you can ship to me to Russia. My address is unconfirmed, but this is not my fault, just paypal system problem. No one Russian address can not be confirmed now. PM sent. Thanks.
