Here I offer my Andre Thorburn L42 and an original Gavko. Both sub 4" blades - very nice EDC size.
I really love these two knives BUT I have found that they only get worn as accessories and not used - a sad fate for any great knife so I offer them here for sale - INDIVIDUALLY OR AS A PAIR - No trades.
I am not the original owner of either of these. The Thorburn has seen pocket time but is virtually unused by me - original edge. The Gavko has not been pocket carried at all. IT IS unused by me. Just played with, as we do with flippers.
1st - THE GAVKO
This is the ORIGINAL of these concentric circled design flippers by MIKE GAVAC as seen in this video by Mike https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8rV83hWkZc
I have an email from Mike confirming that this is the knife in the video linked above.
It looks different today because in December 2015 it received a spa treatment by Mike which included - (1) blade received new dark stonewash finish (2) handles were re-anodized and refinished (3) blade sharpened.
I bough this as the 2nd owner (1st owner AFTER the spa treatment).
IT IS PRISTINE AND UNUSED since the spa - LIKE NEW CONDITION.
The flipping action is smooth and easy (using the push action). Light switching is OK but the push makes it fly.
No blade play. Centering is perfect. Detente is solid. This perfect sub- 4" folder carries discreetly and comfortably.
Here are the specs: BLADE STEEL aeb-l stainless at 61hrc BLADE LENGTH 3-1/2" OVERALL LENGTH 7-5/8" SCALES titanium Tip up carry Comes with case as seen.

2nd - THE THORBURN L42
This is the smoooooothest flipper. The IKBS has to be the difference. The Gavko is smooth but the Thorburn is fast and effortless. Sets a very high bar for flipper actions.
The Specs.: BLADE STEEL N690 3-1/2" LENGTH OAL 7-3/4" CLOSED 4-3/8" HANDLES/BOLSTERS Blue G-10 and carbon fiber Tip up carry Comes with nylon case with velcro closer.
This knife is no less than LNIB. Pristine as much as a 2nd owner knife can be. No blade play whatsoever. Centering is very very slightly off - closer to the lock bar side.
MORE PHOTOS UPON REQUEST.
