Looking to switch up the collection. If you have any questions about what's here, let me know and I'll help you out. I don't get notifications for profile messages so PMs or shooting me an email at kenleung1995 at hotmail dot com is going to be the best way to reach me. I also check my threads every once in a while so I'll usually see your posts. If you'd prefer a straightforward sale, just shoot me an offer. If you don't have much feedback or forum history, I might ask you to ship first. I'll be happy to ship international but the buyer will need to assume all risks. The knives will come with what's shown unless otherwise stated. Thanks for taking a look.

For trades, I'm looking for: Grahams, Yunas, Marlowes, Tashi collabs and customs, Marshs, GTCs, Sharknivcos, Careys, Black Snow Customs Sabotage, Mayos, Ochs Persian, Ochs Oni, full sized Burch, Lefty Grimsmo, VanderMeulen Homicide, Burke/Williams Kickstop Rebel, Lee Williams Iceman, ZT 0454, G&G Orbit, an older full thickness Direware Solo, and a Rockstead Shun. I'm always be open to other offers. I like seeing what's out there and the worst I can do is pass. Cash can be added either way.
