Price includes Priority Small Flat Rate Box shipping to United States. Trades considered: Large 21 Crosshatch, Large 21 Wilson Combat, Oz Machine Roosevelt, multiple Northwoods and Grinling Whittlers, Shirogorov NeOn Zero, Cheburkov Strizh or a Ti Protech SNG. Maybe other high end stuff.
What we have is a stunning, absolutely perfect specimen from Mike Moran's custom workshop. This is a teardrop/bullet end pattern with bulbous CPM-154 spear blade (think the GEC #85) wearing perfectly matched, perfectly black African Blackwood covers. The blade is centered, suuuuuuuper smooth on mill relieved liners, no wobble, the best walk and talk I have EVER heard, and a nice pinchable 6 pull. The blade is ground perfectly thin. I'd call this like new, but I have carried it twice in a slip. Haven't used it.
I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the finest-made knife I have ever seen - custom, production, traditional, modern, anything - the finest made knife I have ever seen. I've owned Dowell, Pena, Vetrov, K'roo, Rhidian, and other slipjoints from custom makers, and Moran's work is the curve buster. Decided to sell it because I'm carrying other blades and I don't keep safe queens. Ships in Moran's zippered pouch with COA, Care Guide, and a nice slip made by porch member sunknife.
$675 via PPGS. $660 PPFF, Venmo, or Zelle.
Thanks!
