Time to start clearing out some blades!

These are for sale only, not looking for trades, need to clear some room.

Prices include USPS Priority to USA customers. No International unless we've dealt before and shipping will need to be determined based on location. No 3rd party re-shippers either please.

Happy to send additional pictures or discuss package prices for multiple purchases but first commitment to buy gets it. If there are specifics you want to know ask ahead of time. Post, PM or email is fine but if you email me please include your BladeForums alias if you email, chad@pirtlemade.com.

Payment via Paypal, Square or Venmo, whatever buyer prefers.

Thanks for looking!

Scott Sawby Toothpick
This is an amazing knife by an equally amazing maker. It features Scott's Self Lock with rock solid lockup and smooth action. 3 5/8" CPM 154 blade is thinly ground and perfectly centered. Carbon Fiber scales, dovetailed bolsters and a perfectly executed spine. Perfect example of a custom knife. Never used or carried. Any marks visible in pictures are dust, oil or finger prints, I wiped the knife down before pictures but not good enough.
$995 $975 Shipped ***SOLD***


Skike Rogue Shark 2.5

One of only two made with DLC coated scales. 20CV compound ground blade fires like a rocket and locks up solid with about 35% engagement. I carried this a few times and may have done some light cutting but it shows no signs of use and still has razor sharp makers edge. This one is hard to let go of but I have his Pocket Monster that's my Go To overbuilt folder. Pete's (Pieter) work is really amazing.

$925 $850 Shipped

McGinnis Peligro
This knife is from the G8, I'm the second owner and bought it in new condition. It's seen a little pocket time and light use. I stropped it lightly to refine the makers edge but nothing else. No marks or wear to report otherwise. Lockup is rock solid about 15% and the blade is perfectly centered. Runs on washers and is very smooth with a medium flipping action. The 3.25" blade is made from Chad Nichols Virus pattern stainless Damascus. The Titanium scales are beautifully anodized to a Bronze/Purple color. This is an amazing knife and will stay with me if it doesn't sell. No external markings, Gerry McGinnis 2016 & G8 marked on the inside.
$1150 $1075 ***SOLD***

Sergey Rogovets Model 21
Everything you'd expect from Sergey, this knife is a perfect example of his work. The 4" CTS-XHP blade fires with authority and locks up rock solid with about 10-15% engagement. It's perfectly centered when closed. Scales and milled clip are heat colored and you can just barely see the subtle gear pattern blasted into the sides of the milled scales. Full copper back spacer and pivot collar have developed a nice patina and look great. I've carried and used this a few times but nothing to report condition wise. Still has razor sharp makers edge. Don't let the unconventional shape fool you, it's very comfortable in hand. Includes all of Sergey's swag, Pelican case, velvet pouch, COA and business card.
Bargain priced at $600 $540 ***SOLD***


Carrillo Cobra Iron Rhino
I bought this as new and unused from the original owner who bought it direct from the maker. It has a CPM154 tanto multi grind blade and features the polished all titanium frame upgrade ($200) plus an extra clip ($50). Also has the newer upgraded pivot. I have carried it a bit, mainly to Blade Show and a couple of other knife shows but it has not seen any significant cutting and still has the makers razor sharp edge. I did swap out the original thumb studs for a button head screw on top of a stainless nut, which IMO makes a much more user friendly opener. No modifications were made to the knife to do this and the originals are included but I am leaving mine in place unless the buyer wants them switched. QC on this knife is perfect in every way that I can see. Lock engagement is early (20%-ish) and rock solid, action is a bit stiff but smooth and will probably break in with more use if you choose. Ultimately this is a perfect example of the kind of work Dwayne could lay down and a beautiful beast of a knife. Includes makers Pelican box and extra's shown. Any marks or cloudiness in the pictures are just smudges and can be wiped away, this was a hard one to take pictures of being almost all titanium and stainless steel.
***NOTE*** I will consider partial trades for this to help offset the cost, let me know what you have but I'll warn you I'm pretty particular.
$1350 $1200 Shipped **SOLD**

Only price drop to try and motivate these along then they go back into the safe. I have better pictures of the Sawby and will try and load them later but email me if you want to see them.

Thanks!
 
What do you think the weight is on the Dwyer? I know it wont be light but just curious. Never owned one. Is it like a Medford where you have to use wrist action to open?

Do you mean the Carrillo or did you post to wrong thread? :)
 
No worries :D

I just weighed it and it's 12.2 oz, which is less than I expected actually. I can tell you with total confidence it carries very well. The clip Dwayne used on these is long and fairly wide and does an amazing job at stabilizing the knife in the pocket. It's also low profile enough to pretty much disappear in hand.

It's not flickable but if you get the blade out a bit it slings open easily. Medfords run on Teflon and feel smooth out of the box, this runs on Phosphor Bronze and will need some break in to be really smooth but there's no reason to think it won't smooth out nicely. I also think the pivot could be tweaked a bit, but I never tried. I like to have controlled opening on a blade this big so left it where it was.

Makes sense. Its not really a flicking knife at that size and weight. I noticed you said its low profile enough to disappear in had. Isnt it like a 4 inch blade?
 
What I meant was that when you grip the knife you don't feel the clip. Some clips work great but create a hot spot, this isn't one of them.

Knife is huge by most peoples standards, 4 3/8" from tip to plunge, 4 9/16" tip to scale 10 1/8" OAL.

If I have to keep bragging about this thing the price is going back up or I'm just going to end up keeping it... haha

Haha, Ive done that before. Selling a knife then fall back in love with it lol. Cool, thanks for answering all my questions. Let me give it some thought. I know its a beast and I have had knives like that before as far as weight and size.
