***BOTH KNIVES SOLD***

I'm clearing out a couple nice customs here in an effort to pay for other purchases. Prices include USPS priority shipping and Paypal G&S. Please avoid conversation, etc. in this thread. Only post to claim a knife. First unconditional "I'll take it" followed by a PM gets knife. However, I will only sell to members who can PM--no phone numbers or external email addresses. If you have questions, etc. please PM me. Generally, I'm not interested in trades. However, a list follows of a few specific knives I would potentially be interested in (of course, money could be added to either end depending on the deal). Thanks!

Potential Trades:
ZT Factory Customs
Hinderer Maximus Bayonet
Koenigs (specials only)
Millit Torrent
Holt Customs
Skiff Customs

So...here's what I've got for sale:

1. Les Voorhies One-Off Simplex. This is a recent acquisition for me and although it is truly a world-class knife, I'm going to let it go. It's just not quite the right fit in my hand. Plus, I've badly over-spent lately and I need to recoup some funds! :-(

The fit, finish, action, design (this is a Faisal Yamin design) are all what you would expect out of a Voorhies custom. This is a crazy cool version of the Simplex and is truly a one-of-a-kind. The fit between the G-10 and blue-twill CF is so smooth if you close your eyes, you will not feel a seam no matter how hard you try. It's quite impressive--never seen anything quite like it. It locks up dead tight at about 40%, has a buttery smooth action and drops shut after a very soft (perfect) secondary detent. The blade is dead center. I can't find any blemishes on the knife. Only thing is if I look VERY carefully in the right light there's a bit of a slightly inconsistent "smudgy" area on the flat of the blade (both sides). I have no idea how that happened--probably came from Voorhies that way. It's really insignificant and many sellers wouldn't bother to mention it...but I like to provide all the detail I can. Whatever it is, I'm sure it would come out in seconds on a buffing wheel if you're able and inclined. (I was neither! I personally wouldn't want to mess with the hand finished blade.)

I'm the second owner on this one and the original owner sold it to me as unused. It looks that way to me and I've not carried it or used it to cut a single time. It will come in its original box with spec card, etc.

This was $800 new--I'm letting it go for $OLD TYD (G&S)

2. Kirby Lambert Orion MGT.
This one is especially hard to let go. This is simply as smooth a liner lock as I've ever experienced. This knife lives up to Lambert's reputation of creating some of the smoothest and best actions out there. This knife also has the MGT (multi grind tanto), which is completely awesome! The detent and action are pretty much perfect and it drops shut with a light shake. Centering is excellent and I can find no marks on it anywhere. It will come with a generic pouch only--nothing else.

You should check out the Jim Skelton video on this exact knife, it's excellent:

This knife at this price is a true bargain! One of the Reate Lamberts will cost you most of this! This was originally about at $1000 knife when purchased new. It's in as-new condition and I'm looking for $OLD


First unconditional "I'll take it" followed promptly by a PM will get the knife. You are responsible for knowing your knife laws, etc. and no sales to anyone under 18.

Thanks for looking!
