Due to an apparent lack of interest in any of these knives, they have been withdrawn from sale here and will be listed for sale elsewhere.
1) CRKT Provoke (4040) and the CRKT Sheath.
The knife and sheath are like new in box. The sheath comes w/two Tek-lok belt clips - one wide and one narrow. The knife has never been used, carried or sharpened. No visible signs of wear on either the knife or sheath.
More info on the Provoke is widely available on the Net. Say what you will about it, there is no doubt that it is a bad-a$$ed knife.
Current retail for the combo is $234. Asking $175.00. SOLD!
2) Lapu Lapu Corto & Trainer with Pouch.
The Lapu Lapu Corto was designed and made by Bram Frank (a well known martial arts instructor). The Spyderco Gunting which is almost identical to the Corto was also designed by Bram. Bram now makes the Corto in China under his direction using 8CR13Mov steel.
However, this is an earlier set that was made in Germany by Chersuker Messer.
The blades are unmarked and I cannot find any info on the steel used by Chersuker Messer but the Gunting (which was made by Spyderco around the same time) was made w/CPM 440V or S30V, while the trainer used 8Cr13Mov.
So, I would suspect that this trainer is also made w/8Cr13Mov but I cannot verify what steel the Corto itself is made with.
In any event, both the Corto and the trainer are like new. They have never been used or carried by me and I have never cut/sharpened the Corto either. There are no visible marks on the blades but there is a very light scratch on the clip of the Corto. Both are well but not perfectly centered.
For more info, see: Bram Frank's Website
Current retail for the Chinese made version of this pair is $250. This earlier German made pair is considered a collectors' item.
Asking $175. SOLD!
3) 9 Line Knives - Sinbat - Designed by Warren Thomas.
The Sinbat is a very unique SD style knife made by hand w/a laminated G10/CPM154 chisel ground blade and a titanium frame/clip. You open the knife as you would a friction folder by using the tab at the top of the blade as the pivot point.
The knife is like new. It has never been used, carried or sharpened by me but I did adjust the blade tension by removing a washer and changing the location of the G10 washer from the Ti clip side to the G10 side because I thought it looked better. The are some light snail trails and a few very light scratches on the frame & clip.
You can find more information about the knife here: 9Line Knives.
Not sure if they are still making this knife now but the original retail price was $360.
Asking $180. SOLD!
4) Bradley-Kimura Balisong G10 (BCC900)
This is the current version of the Bradley-Kimura that I bought at full retail plus tax from my local knife shop.
It is like new in the box; has never been carried, sharpened or used to cut anything. I don't/can't do tricks and I've only flipped it a few times. No visible signs of wear or handling. Flips easily and smoothly. A good entry level bali that I just don't need/want anymore.
You can find more info about the knife here.
Asking $100. Asking price lowered to $80. Withdrawn: 4/17/2021
