Sal Manaro Bullseye

[commodorewheeler]

I have a mint condition Sal Manaro Bullseye liner lock with black G-10 handle scales, titanium bolsters, and a satin finished S30V compound grind tanto blade for sale. I actually traded this knife not too long ago but got it back right away when my trading partner found something else in my collection that he liked even better that I was equally willing to part with. The Bullseye is a tank of an EDC that features Sal's exacting craftsmanship, and it is difficult to come by nowadays because Sal does not take orders and makes very few knives a year. The handle scales on this knife are contoured and grooved for maximum comfort and grip, and the bolsters feature a bullseye carving around the pivot.

The Bullseye listed here has never been carried, used, or resharpened, and its original edge from Sal is very sharp. The action is very smooth, and the knife opens easily with a light flick of the thumb. I uploaded a video here to demonstrate the action. The lock-up is rock solid, and the blade centering is near perfect.
