Here's the second wave of knives from my collection, as promised. All prices are net to me (I pay for shipping). Starting from the left, the 4 knives pictured vertically (below) are:
1. Rick Hinderer Sterile Hand Ground 3.5 XM-18 Recurve Flipper Smooth carbon fiber presentation scale, orange peel Ti lock-side scale/frame with matching brass hardware; Gen 3: $1,795
2. Rick Hinderer Sterile Hand Ground 3.5 XM-18 Spanto (Non-Flipper) Textured carbon fiber presentation scale, Ti lock-side scale/frame; Gen 4: $1,500
3. Rick Hinderer Sterile Black DLC 3.5 XM-18 Spanto Flipper - While not a custom, it is a very unique configuration, with an equally unique story behind it. The previous owner, having never seen this unique configuration, chatted with the guys from the Ranch about it to ensure it was legit. Apparently a friend of Rick & Rob's cobbled it together from parts laying around the shop.....it was the XM that was never planned.....Gen 3: $800
4. Jesse Jarosz Pulsar Silver strike carbon fiber scales with special Japanese super steel. Ti liners with Spyderco licensed compression lock. Amazingly beautiful folder: $925
5. Shirogorov 95T in S90V Flipper Pristine condition, flips amazingly. Comes with box and paper spring. This is one of the earliest Shiros, purchased from TNK in July 2009 before Shiros came with the cleaning cloth and COA: $800
6. Shirogorov Tabargan in 440C Black G-10 (still has original protective sticker on pivot). Comes with box and certificate of authenticity: $425
