If you have any questions about what's listed just let me know. For more details, specs, or pictures, ask and ye shall receive. You can reach me through private message or email. I also check my threads fairly often so I'll see your posts. I can work with you on the price for some of these and I'm open to trades. Prices include all shipping and Paypal fees in the US. I'll be happy to ship international but the buyer will need pay via F&F, assume all risks, and cover the cost of shipping. Thanks for your time.
For trades, I'm looking for: Yunas, DireWares, GTC's, Southards, TuffKnives, Sharknivcos, Rocksteads, Greg Lightfoots, Neil Blackwoods, Phantom Steelworks, a Todd Begg Beggatti, Rassentis, a Demko AD15, Dervish Alchemy XL, Jon Graham folder, Grimsmos, and maybe a custom Emerson or Strider but if you have other offers, I'm happy to hear them. Cash can be added either way.
If you are planning to send me an email through the forum, please post on the thread as well to let me know. Some of those are lost in transit and never reach my mailbox.
1. Doc Shiffer Custom Designated Marksman - like new - $650
Very well made 3.75"-4" flipper
Hamon on the blade
Sculpted bronze working finish titanium handle with polished highs
Gear-pattern backspacer
If you grab the blade and really force it, there is the slightest bit of up-and-down play but zero side-to-side, doesn't affect the function at all
It has one of the best actions I've handled, liquid smooth and it will open regardless of how you use the flipper
The blade sits dead center in the handle
Feels great in hand in a number of different grips
2. Shirogorov 110 - brand new in box - $850
The most well built axis lock folder I've handled
Blade measures nearly 4.5" from the end of the handle and is stonewashed M390
Lightly textured carbon fiber scales
Lockup is solid with zero up-and-down play
Has a great detent so you can open it however you want
Centering is perfect
Feels great in hand
3. Zero Tolerance 0454 - near mint - $700 --> Traded
Serial number: 0417
Triple layered composite blade with CPM-D2 for the cutting edge and spine, Sandvik 14C28N makes up the middle part
Both sides of the frame are carbon fiber
Sub-frame lock
Sculpted clip and backspacer
Compared to the 0452CF, the handles are much thicker but contoured so it feel generally the same but fills the hand much better
There are a few faint marks on the front side of the blade, I don't think they're scratches
This one comes with just the knife
Slightly better action than a normal 0452 and it's not yet broken in so the action will only get better
Locks up solid with no play and centering is dead on
4. TuffKnives customized Sniper Bladeworks LPC - near mint - $500
Blade measures 4" from the end of the handle
Contoured and sculpted slab of carbon fiber for the presentation side
Lockside is tumbled ti
Flamed pivot and gold thumbstud
Geoff put the swedge and thumb indent on the blade and worked on the carbon fiber
Extremely smooth action even with a tight pivot
Solid lockup with no play in any direction, and perfect centering
Fits nicely in hand
Not sure if it's intentional but with a bit of practice, you can use the little tab in the last picture as a flipper and it works fairly well
